After putting some pounds during thw long winter, many of us need all the help in the world to get rid of them. It seems that the cell phone can help you.
Jeff Rosen lost 73 pounds being ‘helped’ by his cell phone: this is sending him a reminder when he has to go to the gym or do something else. Jeff is actually using a new service which helps people live better and healthier. It seems that it helped Jeff to avoid a certain diet. He said that “Every couple of hours it reminds me to not eat a donut”.
This Well Phone mobile service is offered by Wellspheres and is based on some research at the Stanford University. The phone sends you messages, reminding you not to eat certain foods or even help you find a gym. The best part of the Well Phone is that you don’t necessarily need an iPhone or a Blackberry. The program works with any cell phone and…it is free!
It seems that in the future, the Well Phone will also include features that will be able to help people manage their medications or remind them to check their insulin, etc.
