App Attacks ‘Sitting Epidemic’

Monday, 15 April 2013 | by Pat's Picks

A Colorado startup has designed an app that it hopes will help combat a health crisis facing the nation: the sitting epidemic. The Fort Collins Coloradoan says the app can tell how much of a user’s day is spent sitting—as well as standing, walking, running, climbing stairs or biking—by reading data from a USB rechargeable shoe insole. The goal is to turn that data into a meaningful motivation to get up and move around.
