Healthy lifestyle guides - electronic gadgets.

A healthy lifestyle, which has been so interesting for many people in recent decades, has given rise to the inventors of "augmented reality" to look for new technological ideas to stimulate a person to sports and proper nutrition. The memories of virtual pets and electronic farms have not cooled yet, as they have been replaced by applications that stimulate a person to move more actively and lead an orderly lifestyle in nutrition.

What are these wellness startups? In a playful form, an application to a smartphone, tablet or any other mobile interactive gadget stimulates a person to perform certain wellness procedures, controls and awards prizes and rewards. It's nice to go through the number of steps indicated in the game scenario or move for a certain time by the program, count daily calories and eat according to the set schedule in order to get points and as a result, for example, a financial incentive: bonuses to the phone or credit card account, or useful information that a person wants to have , and which the electronic device gives out only in the case of "good behavior" - the correct fulfillment of the conditions of the game.
