As health coaches, we cannot always expect each of our clients to maintain a consistent level of motivation, no matter how great our support.

Starting first with the Nudge App for consumers, let's take a closer look at ways we are visualizing data in what I've referred to so far as our "detail layers" of feedback.

Do you consider your time valuable? If you could be more effective in less time, would you do it? 

If you are like most health coaches or trainers I have spoken with recently you have probably been scratching your head over the past year wondering how consumer health tracking apps fit into your regiment.

At the core of health coaching is the communication between Health Coach and client. Without a smooth and steady flow of information, success will be limited and the likelihood of less than ideal outcomes is high.

The broadening scope of health-related technology is having an increasingly greater impact on the world of health and wellness. A growing number of savvy consumers interested in improving personal health and quality-of-life are seeking out technologies for many reasons.

Shortly after launching the consumer version of Nudge in January 2014 we realized that our scoring mechanism had the potential to provide significant value to health professionals charged with monitoring increased client or patient lists.
