Being sedentary has extensive health effects on our mind and body, especially in large financial firms where employees find themselves inactive for long periods of the day. The generation coming into the workforce today does not value physical activity enough to priorities it and desk-bound jobs are not going away anytime soon, we need to look beyond active users and target inactive employees to find a solution that intersects the Gen-Y lifestyle.

 As the population keeps on growing, the number of people with chronic illnesses increases.  Hospital stays are expensive and patients would usually rather be at home, where they can get a good night of sleep and eat home-cooked meals. Positive psychological impact also affects physical conditions. But unfortunately, not every family are able to afford a private care assistant. And the wait list for insurance covered home care can be ridiculous. Therefore, most of the family choose to take on the responsibility themselves.
