We want to help people who feel that their jobs or schedules make it too difficult to maintain a healthy balanced lifestyle. Our electronic wristband and mobile application will combine a gentle reminder system, tracking platform,
and fun personalized challenges to give each person the opportunity to create their own personal game plan towards an optimal healthy lifestyle.
Current employee health programs tend to revolve around chiropractor visits, massage therapists, and other physiotherapeutic remedies. These are not ideal solutions because they target people
who have already developed serious health issues. Most of the time, these “solutions” only deal with physical discomfort and other symptoms of the problem. We want to create a solution that deals with the heart of the problem: employees tend to remain in
one position for the majority of their work day.
Employers also try to offset this inactivity with gym passes. However, it can be hard for employees with busy schedules to find time to utilize these gym passes. Even for the employees that
do take advantage of these fitness facilities, studies have shown that it is better to make small changes throughout the work day than sit still for 8 hours and workout for an hour or two afterwards. In other words employees can’t just forget about their
health while they’re at work and then “make up for it later” with intense exercise; they need to make small conscious changes throughout the day to stay healthy.
This is where we come in. We want to supply people with the tools that they need to understand and make those small changes, stay motivated to stick to those changes through seeing their progress
over time, as well as make the whole process fun through a social sharing, challenges, and gamification features. LifeBooster is going to help busy people boost their health to the next level in a fun, balanced, and easy way.
Our package will consist of a silicon wristband that uses low energy Bluetooth technology to communicate with a smartphone app and web platform. The band will track certain processes within
the body and will relay this information to the app which displays it in real-time to the user. Some of this information will include:
- sleep patterns and quality (helping the user sleep better and wake up at the best point in their sleep cycle)
- activity levels (the user’s heart rate, number of steps they take per day, how often they get up and move, etc)
- hydration (how much water you drink a day, how often you do so)
- diet (remind you to eat small healthy snacks on a regular schedule, etc)
By building a package for corporations, we hope to reach out to people and help them start taking the small steps towards feeling better, and ultimately being a healthier, happier, and more
productive people and employees.
Now who doesn't want that?
