Hello and welcome to GravityEight.
We're excited to launch the first phase of our website after many months of planning and development. We're a small startup---with a big idea. We plan to move the dial, at a national level, when it comes to wellbeing and helping people achieve more balance in their lives. We've only scratched the surface with what we feel is possible and with what we plan to rollout over the next few weeks and months. So stay tuned and make sure to register your email, so we can include you as one of our first Beta users as we move forward with phase two.
How it all Works:
We’ve tried very hard to make GravityEight simple and easy to use. At our February 17th launch, these are the pieces of our offering that will go live.
News & Information: (Inform and Inspire)
The first component of our site is the News and Information offering. Our in-house editorial team is working with freelance journalists and subject experts to bring you timely and relevant articles and multimedia content that reflect the latest in thinking and best practices in the world of wellbeing. Our feature articles, podcasts, and embedded videos are neatly categorized for your ease of use and benefit.
Programs & Embedded Videos: (Take Action Today)
The next section of GravityEight is the Program section located under each of the sub-headings of our primary channels; for example: Health/ fitness. We deliver these as instructional “slide-decks,” and in the future these programs will provide the launch point for our goals section of the site.
Our embedded videos section (located again, under each channel and subheading) provides what we feel are some of the best and most informative videos out there on the internet today. We spend hours looking for and reviewing relevant videos on key subjects, so you don’t have to.
Featured Experts: (Best Practices From Top Experts)
GravityEight is working with a team of top researchers, physicians, PhD’s, and specialists to bring you smart, timely information and best practices for wellbeing. Get to know our experts-- watch and listen as we roll out “live video broadcasts” with GravityEight TV and offer you real-time interactive questions and answers on a regular basis. Stay tuned for time slots.
(Coming Soon)
Wellbeing Meter: (Overall Wellbeing Status)
The wellbeing meter is quite simply one of the most exciting things to happen to the wellbeing movement. Our copyrighted and patent-pending software algorithms measure and monitor your activity across all 8 essential aspects of your life and provide wellbeing feedback in both a quantitative and qualitative fashion. The meter synthesizes data derived from self assessments and from our partner’s tools , such as the Withings Wireless Scale, the ZEO sleep machine and the Nike Plus Run Tracker.
Centralized Dashboard
Currently on our site, we’re showing a “live demonstration” of the GravityEight centralized dashboard, with several of our initial partners’ tools up and running. We have integrated (into a standardized user experience) the Withings Wireless Scale, the ZEO Personal Sleep Coach, and the Nike Plus Run Tracker. Stay tuned for many more tools to be announced and integrated soon.
Profile:
Ground breaking research demonstrates that those things which are measured are tended to. It also shows that when we share important information about our wellbeing with our personal network, or “team” our progress with goals is accelerated. The Profile page is ground zero for where you connect and share with your “team.” As such it plays an important role in helping you stay motivated and moving toward that all important goal.
