The evidence-based digital coaching feature empowers users to engage in safe movement and build mobility, strength and flexibility while reducing the potential for musculoskeletal issues
SOLANA BEACH, Calif., June 24, 2024
PEAR Health Labs today detailed Mobility SmartCoach, a forthcoming new digital coaching feature within its Aaptiv app that assesses a user’s current mobility function to create a personalized, adaptable workout plan with ongoing movement progress tracking.
Powered by artificial intelligence technology, Mobility SmartCoach provides targeted exercises based on the results of an eight-point mobility assessment taken periodically by the user. Measuring hip, shoulder and posterior chain mobility, this unique assessment establishes a baseline and mobility score while tracking progression over time. Every six weeks, users retake the assessment and receive updated:
- Mobility scores.
- Visual mobility maps.
- Personalized mobility training plan
- Personalized 10-minute mobility workouts to target areas needing improvement.
“Mobility SmartCoach allows anyone to proactively improve their mobility in just 10 minutes a few times a week,” said Bob Allison, founder and CEO of PEAR Health Labs. “Based on movement assessments used by physical therapists, this feature identifies movement limitations early and improves mobility over time to help reduce users’ risk of mobility-related health issues.”
Mobility SmartCoach is part of PEAR Health Labs’ commitment to leveraging advanced technology to provide accessible and engaging digital health and fitness solutions to people of all fitness levels and abilities. By prioritizing accessibility for office workers and seniors, demographics particularly prone to mobility issues, Mobility SmartCoach can prevent pain and reduce the risk of injury while contributing to overall health and wellness. Initially available as a premium feature in Aaptiv’s enterprise and Medicare offering, the science-based solution’s adaptability helps enhance overall strength, balance and stability and supports workplace wellness comprehensively across different sectors of the population, empowering employers to invest in pain and injury prevention.
“The antiquated concept of ‘no pain, no gain’ is ingrained in our collective psyche, unfortunately repelling far too many people from moving because discomfort is no fun,” said Joseph Quinn, VP of product at PEAR Health Labs. “This fully digital feature welcomes those who move minimally back to mobility. Our proprietary training intelligence model interprets results by each body region to provide targeted and appropriate exercises that allow users to be proactive about self-care, safely progress and appreciate their bodies again.”
The launch of Mobility SmartCoach further establishes PEAR Health Labs as a leader in using technology to empower smarter movement and healthier living. For more information about Mobility SmartCoach, Aaptiv and other fitness solutions, visit pearhealthlabs.com or aaptiv.com.
