I’ve always been fascinated by technology and how it can be utilized to help people become better versions of themselves. When I was a kid I used to get completely immersed in video games and often wondered why I couldn't get similarly immersed into something that was better for my health/mind. I often found myself imagining a world where everyday fitness was as fun as levelling up in my favourite video game. The purpose of PlayFitt is to motivate people to move more in the same way that people are motivated to take pictures for Instagram. We play to the strengths of Montréal in A.I. and video games to leverage popular gamification mechanisms, but for the greater good of our players. I strongly believe the digital tools at our disposal allow us to, for the first time, get people hooked on moving! We’ve found a way to build technology that’s good for you by creating PlayFitt with our players’ well-being in mind. This year we’ve all had to welcome change into our lives one way or another. Lately, sticking to our ‘normal’ routines has been a challenging feat to say the least. Whether you're looking for a sense of stability, productivity, or even just some fun, we’ve managed to create a movement app that brings a sense of comfort both physically and mentally. We have a whole lot to offer our players, and just to name a few things: - Rewards every single movement - Stress free automatic counting of movements; squats, push-ups, movement breaks, etc. - Realistic daily and weekly goals - Friendly competition - Progress you can see on and off the screen - The ability to build sustainable habits while having fun All that to say, PlayFitt empowers you to make realistic movement your best habit. There’s no need to adjust your schedule when it comes to reaching your daily and weekly goals. Complete your squats while brushing your teeth, get yourself a glass of water as a movement break, or simply take the stairs to reach your flights goal. No HIIT workouts, athleisure, nor equipment required. Just the smartphone in your pocket. If small movements throughout your day is all it takes to live a healthier and happier life, then why not have some fun while doing it?
