SANO

Do you ever worry about the health problems associated with working at your computer all day? While working at your desk and staring into your computer screen for hours on end, SANO can monitor your body's health indicators and alert you when it's time to pause your work and do some exercise. The app's 3D virtual trainer will appear on your screen and ask you to mimic his movements, helping make sure your health doesn't decrease during your long hours at work. SANO's exercise library is expandable, as you can program your own exercises into the app using SANO's exercise builder, and share them with friends.
The SANO team, from Canada, designed the app as a solution to a problem they face every day: being stuck in front of their computers for hours on end. The app, however, also addresses a need of many trainers and physiotherapists; many of these experts would like to track their clients' health remotely, but currently have no efficient way to do so. "They want to monitor them remotely and give them tasks!" team member Omar Zaarour said. The SANO team won the KFC Russia Award.
