The programme was about apps and gadgets that check our health and daily exercise. In the programme, three female office workers used this new technology for three weeks. What did they do and did it work?
Firstly, university scientist Blaine Price lent the women a gadget to count their steps, and a specially- programmed smartphone to check their sleep. After that, the women went back to their normal lives and used the gadget to check their exercise. At the end of each day, the scientist sent them an email with the number of their steps. At the beginning they only took 5,000 steps, but the target was 10,000 a day. Next, they examined their sleep. Every night, they put their smartphones on their bed when they went to sleep. The next morning, they looked at the phones and knew the number of hours and how deeply they slept. Finally, the three women and Blaine met again to talk about their progress.
All the women said they were healthier and fitter. They all lost weight, and they all understood better why and when they slept well. The programme showed that new gadgets and technology can help us change our routine and get healthier.
