I am introducing a health product into the market - the AfyaBand pedometer and a stack of software products that enable people to get more out of themselves.

As you all know, I personally undertook a well documented journey (documented in the 'Do Wazuans Exercise' thread ' thread ) towards a better and healthier me and undertaking this journey has borne much fruit. However, unlike many other journeys – this does not come to an end! It should not come to an end! Drawing from my journey I have decided to harness technology to create a product just for people like me – people on a journey towards healthier and better versions of themselves. People who don’t want to look back! The product is a technology driven way to staying fit and being healthy.

It is a well known fact that exercise does not need to happen in a gym but can happen anywhere. It can be during walking to work, taking elevators or even walking to the restaurant during lunch hour instead of ordering for food to be delivered by phone. Many activities through out the day contribute towards calorie burning and our product introduces a way to measure what you as a person is doing – Have I been active enough? Have I met my daily activity goal?The Afyaband app also assists in storing this data for future reference and answering questions like – Am I improving? Have I stagnated?

Finally our product is pillared on the fact that generally people exercise better while in groups and when accountable to each other, and in doing so, we harness this by creating a community of persons who share common health visions. Sharing the experience of achieving milestones that you had set or high points in your journey towards a much healthier you with people you care about so that you can inspire them, get the much needed kudos for beating yourself and struggling to be a better you. When you run into difficulties, this community works as a safety net to help you bounce back. We are aware that not everyone is willing or comfortable with sharing activity information with everyone, and from the get go, we ensure that you are always on the driving seat of determining “what information you want to share” and “with whom you want to share this information” also known as the “community”. This community can comprise of a single person who could be your spouse or close friend, a group of friends, your gym mates, your workmates, your extended family or total strangers.

Join me in using the Afyaband and the ecosystem of software and people around us in order to extract the best performance from ourselves and keep the benefits we have accrued so far.
Some Images of the products are as seen below
The physical device (a pedometer and sleep monitor) is a lovely water resistant product that is available in five colors namely Green, Rose Red, Blue, Yellow, Black, has a 32 hour standby time.




The software is currently only available for Android devices



and you can find it on Google Playstore but requires the pedometer to work. drop me an email at chege@nobledesignlabs.com for more information.

the pick up is slow kiasi... coz of the holidays but this month things have picked up. Women are my largest and most ardent customers - men... they need to be dragged in. The men that are on the platform are friends of mine and they didn't want to piss me off smile
how we make money?....money is from good old sales. the platform is a bit far from being monetised but plans are there on how and when to monetise the thing.

Approach fitness groups and corporates esp safcom, they might embrace it coz of the app that syncs the device with the phone. Who knows they might advertise it 4 you smile . Congrats, we need more like you.
