How do you feel about wearing a wristband 24/7 that tracks your diet, exercise and sleep? One waterproof band is worn during the day for durability, while the other is worn at night for comfort while you sleep. This is the concept and innovation behind the company Lark’s new wristband offering, Larklife.
Sure, there are competing products on the market, but one key thing that CEO and founder Julia Hu believes to be an important difference boils down to social pressure. As Hu explained, “The problem is that that type of motivation is actually incredibly demotivating to the 95 percent of us who are not hyper athletes.” She continued, “For us, we believe that the power of wearable health is not in its ability to just track everything about you, but rather motivate and empower you to feel great and be happier, healthier and more productive. We’re taking the world’s best experts in fitness, dieting, productivity, stress and sleep, and putting them in the palm of your hand to give you personalized real-time advice.”
So what motivational direction does Larklife take, if not from social competitiveness? How about from expert opinion? That’s right, Lark looked to health experts in the field to share their tips and feedback to users throughout the day to provide a state-of-the-art referral system that can help people to make healthier choices and stay motivated.
Do you think you would follow through with the wristbands and wear them regularly to track your progress and/or patterns? Larklife is betting on it. At the retail price of $149.99, it just might be worth taking a chance on.
