What's the Price Tag for Better Health? How About Just $12
With a fully refreshed app and fitness band, Pivotal Corporation continues to offer support for a more healthful lifestyle at about the cost of three grande lattes
SEATTLE, May 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Pivotal Corporation, the Seattle company dedicated to helping people make smart lifestyle choices, today announced the availability of the updated Pivotal Living band. Working in conjunction with the membership-based Pivotal Living app, the band provides accurate lifestyle and fitness tracking for just $12, a fraction of the cost of most fitness bands on the market. The new band also features a bright OLED screen, time display while in the sleep mode, an all-new stop watch mode, and internal capabilities that allow for wireless upgrades as future improvements become available. Additionally, updates to the Pivotal Living app include a new percentage-of-goal display in the dashboard, improved synching and saving, coaching and motivational notifications, in-app password reset and band registration capabilities, and more.
"We founded this company on the belief that personal technology makes life not only better, but healthier," states David Donovick, co-founder and CEO for Pivotal Corporation. "The promise of wearable technology is only as good as our ability to make it available to the masses, so we continually push ourselves to innovate and deliver amazing performance at an amazingly low price."
With an ongoing commitment to keeping prices low and performance high, Pivotal Living has already become an easy everyday choice for those seeking to make more informed decisions about their lifestyle. And now, with the most recent app release, the member experience and feature set are more robust and utilized than ever before. Key improvements include:
- New Band Modes & Features: Members can now time their morning jogs or count time at the gym to help keep themselves on track with the all-new stop watch feature, which is available while the band is in activity mode. Additionally, the time display is now also available in both activity and sleep mode, allowing the band to function as a watch around the clock.
- Coaching & Motivation Pushes: Who doesn't need a little help getting up and at 'em every now and then? Now Pivotal Living gives members' motivation a little boost whenever they need it with a variety of proactive and informative tips and tricks, and inspirational quotes, as well as reminders to track weight and hydration.
- A Better In-App Experience: The Pivotal Living app dashboard now keeps a member's daily progress front and center with a new, centrally located percentage-of-daily-goal tracker, which clearly displays a member's progress toward their individual goals alongside their most recent sleep, hydration, active time, daily steps, weight and caloric burn. Additionally, members can now retrieve or reset their passwords, and replace their band directly from within the app in the profile > settings tab.
- Wireless Updates: The Pivotal Living band has improved internal software capabilities, which will allow the band to remotely be upgraded to feature the latest and greatest as Pivotal Corporation continuously improves activity algorithms and adds band features over time.
From encouraging more daily activity to monitoring sleep habits, helping stay hydrated and more, the Pivotal Living band and app work together seamlessly behind the scenes to keep members on a path to a more healthful lifestyle. Specifically Pivotal Living helps members track:
- Calories Burned
- Total Steps
- Distance
- Daily Active Time
- Specific Activity Time (NEW stop watch feature)
- Sleep Length
- Sleep Quality
- Hydration
- Weight
- Percentage Met of Daily Goals
The sleekly designed Pivotal band collects information on daily activities and sends it, via Bluetooth™ 4.0 technology, to the mobile app to provide real-time wellness reporting. As one of the most affordable and easy-to-use fitness trackers on the market, the band's OLED display screen allows members to cycle through daily progress and view activity time, distance, percentage of goal met, caloric burn, mode, battery life, sleep time, time of day or night, the alarm time or engage the stop watch mode – all with the press of a button.
"Since our launch last year, we've been listening to our members and researching where the industry is headed in terms of new features and technology," concludes Eli Almo, a long-time advocate for healthy living, and the co-founder and chairman for Pivotal Corporation. "It's a tremendous milestone for us to be able to deliver this new-and-improved experience to our members, which they contributed to through feedback and active community forums, and help even more people succeed in their journey to lead a longer, healthier and happier life."
