Bemi App Launches Today in Apple App Store, Google Play and Amazon: Is There Hope in the Fight Against Obesity?STAFFORD, Va., Nov. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As Bemi App launches in the App stores worldwide, J Brothers is challenging everyone to change their habits and do something new to get moving to help reduce obesity. Photo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20151104/283744 According to CDC, more than one-third of US adults are obese. Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years. According to CDC, in 2012, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese. According to a Pew report, in 2014, 90% of Americans have a cell phone. Almost everyone has a phone or tablet and most play online games on their devices. Per Nielsen, the monthly time spent per person on mobile applications, has increased from 23 hours and two minutes in the fourth quarter of 2012 to 37 hours and 28 minutes in the fourth quarter of 2014. This represents a 63% increase in two years. Can game applications encourage exercising? Bemi App was developed with this issue in mind. This mobile game application rewards players with extra lives for exercising. Once a player runs out of lives, the player has the option to exercise for extra lives. The player will take an initial heart rate reading, and then exercise. After exercising, the player takes another heart rate reading. He/she is then awarded extra lives based on the difference in the heart rate readings. We hope to change the way people view exercising, to make it fun and rewarding to exercise.
