Motionity

Motionity is an app that motivates you to be physically active every day. Your goal is to collect at least ten Motionity activity points each day by walking, running, biking or doing many other types of physical activity. By doing so you will improve your health, strengthen your muscles and may even extend your life expectancy as much as 4 years!

Why did we create Motionity?

According to the World Health Organization, approximately 3.2 million deaths each year are attributable to insufficient physical activity. Health professionals argue that insufficient levels of physical activity increase the risk of chronic diseases (for example, cancer) and may even lead to a premature death.

Motionity was created to help you to understand whether you are sufficiently physically active every day. Motionity provides you with an easy-to-understand information about your daily physical activity levels and motivates you to be more physically active, if needed.

What makes Motionity special?

First, Motionity takes into account your physical characteristics while assessing your daily physical activity levels. It is obvious, that a 30-minute walk at a brisk pace is a tough task for some, whereas for others it may be just an another daily thing. For this reason, Motionity, unlike other apps, does not just blindly sum your daily steps. On the contrary - it calculates a relative intensity of each of your daily physical activity events by taking into account your age, sex, height and weight. In this way, you are provided with an accurate and personalized information about your daily physical activity levels.

Second, Motionity does not use a GPS signal. Unlike other similar apps, instead of using GPS Motionity employs the hardware of your phone to make all the calculations it needs. Thus, Motionity not only ensures your privacy but also saves your phone battery from draining.

Third, Motionity may help you save up to $500. Motionity detects your physical activity as accurately as most smart watches or smart bands on the market, provided that you carry the phone with you. The main difference - Motionity is free!

We hope that Motionity will help you to become more active, healthier and live longer!

Note. Motionity gets information about your physical activity from a special processor in your mobile phone. After receiving your approval, Motionity receives this information (also known as 'Motion&Fitness' data) and transforms it into the data about your physical activity. Motionity gets information about your physical characteristics (your age, height, sex and weight) directly from you or, after receiving your approval, from the Health app on your phone. The main goal of Motionity is to provide you with an accurate and easy-to-understand information about your daily physical activity levels. However, please take note that Motionity is a tool for information purposes only and does not constitute medical advice. Motionity is intended as a self-help tool so you should contact your health care provider or emergency services if needed.
