Winner of the Bluetooth Innovator of the Year 2009 Award!

Physical Activity Innovations, LLC is developing unique, footwear-based systems that will motivate users to increase their daily physical activity, lose excess weight, and maintain that weight loss over time.  

Obesity has reached epidemic proportions in the United States, as nearly two out of every three Americans are overweight or obese.  As a result, incidences of preventable “lifestyle” diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and coronary artery disease are prevalent. One of the best ways to prevent weight gain and to ensure the long term maintenance of weight loss and good health is to increase physical activity.  Someone who is moderately active throughout the day can burn as many calories as a person who sits all day but then has a very vigorous workout.

We believe there is an urgent need to develop tools that encourage users to be at least moderately active every day.
