Have you ever thought “If I just had more time in the day, I could do x, y, and z”? Maybe you wish you had the time to read, or the time to exercise, or you want to be more consistent at calling your parents or grandparents to check in. You think about doing all of these things, but you get side tracked and before you know it, the day gets away from you. Do you know where 90% of our discretionary time is spent? That’s right…scrolling. The truth is, many of us do have the time somewhere in our day to focus on our physical health, social connections, education and mindfulness, we just have to manage our time better. The barrier? Our cellphones. A solution? Keep reading.

Technology is at the helm of nearly everything we do. And one of the issues that comes with this is making the most of the time we spend using it. Many common apps use behavioral design to make sure we spend way more time scrolling than we want to. Our time is controlled by not what we want, but by what we’ll watch. That’s where BetterYou comes in.

Vendor Spotlight: BetterYou

What if you had a digital coach in your pocket that could help you prioritize the things that matter most to you? BetterYou does just that. You set specific goals in four areas of wellness: physical, social, mindfulness and education. For example, you can set out to sleep eight hours per night, or talk to a family member for an hour per week. Then, BetterYou maps your progress automatically, so there’s no manual entry required. You can check back and visualize your progress toward your goals, and you can even invite a buddy to complete a steps or sleep challenge with you. 

And if you ever find yourself falling off track, like watching Youtube for an hour or checking email late into the night, BetterYou uses AI to learn your habits and send you a personalized nudge reminding you of what you said was important that week. Getting healthier has never been more simple.

BetterYou has already helped over 60 organizations of between 200-1000 users each make better health and wellness decisions by trying the app, earning badges and monetary rewards along the way. The in-app retention rate stands at around 2x the average wellness app. Users sing praises such as, “I like BetterYou because I feel it is challenging me in ways I never thought I could be challenged,” and “The app met my expectations because it could track multiple health and wellness goals. It allows you to only have one app for your wellness needs.” The passive tracking has proven to be a favorite feature, too, with users commenting things such as, “I like that I didn’t have to log the info. It was all based on metrics my phone could keep track of in the background.” 

When you can take back control of your time, you can prioritize the things that are important to you. That’s the power of BetterYou. Users can make their tech work for them as they make progress toward their health and wellness goals with every step, every phone pickup and every new day.
