To tackle this obstacle, a.s.r. collaborated with Mobidot, a Dutch tech firm, to develop a bespoke solution. The a.s.r. Vitality cycling app leverages standard location data sharing on Apple and Android devices to track members' distances. However, it goes further by incorporating additional metrics, such as the gyroscope data from users' phones, to detect cycling activity accurately. This ensures that all bike rides, including short trips to the store, are automatically logged.
Furthermore, the app seamlessly integrates with Notificare, a platform for sending push notifications to users if synchronization fails. It also includes a Prepr integration for handling frequently asked questions. Providing editors a user-friendly interface to manage FAQ content. Users can easily add, edit, and organize questions and answers within the platform.
Notably, the app operates independently, eliminating the need for Fitbit or other wearables, thus widening its accessibility to a broader audience.
