It combines activity tracking devices, which download to the Fitbug app and fitbug.com to provide an understanding of each user's daily activity achievements, with mobile and web technology which provides users with personalised weekly activity and nutrition targets, feedback, advice and encouragement. Its "Kiqplan"TM digital health coaching platform is designed to make wearable technology relevant to new audiences and take the "so what?" out of activity tracking by providing structured action plans to help people get fitter, lighter and lead happier, healthier lives.

 

Key market sectors and distribution channels include retail, health insurance and rewards providers, workplace health programmes, fitness operators and consumers. Increasingly, Fitbug's platforms act as the driving force behind third party services such as white label sites, activity driven games and challenge microsites and rewards programmes. An important part of the Company's focus is on building strategic partnerships with organisations which can integrate Fitbug into their own service/product offerings or resell to their customer base. The Company has operations in the UK, Australia and Asia, with the United States remaining the primary market. For more information, visit www.fitbug.com and wwwkiqplan.com.
