Denovo
Arunima Sinha
Denovo comes from the latin phrase for “from the beginning.” The main aim of this app is to serve as a communal platform that makes living a healthy lifestyle a much more fun and engaging process rather than a strenuous and competitive one. It’s particularly targeted towards those who feel pressured and stressed when it comes to leading a healthy life for themselves. They often fall into believing stereotypes about achieving results in thirty days or six weeks. Living healthily can also be a very lonely process if there is no accompaniment or social support. However, Denovo doesn’t follow the conventional methods of helping you live a healthy lifestyle. Instead, it focuses on gaining your trust in the right way. The app lets you pick your own preferences and levels when it comes to exercising, without needing you to enter any numerical data. The intention is to keep people free from unnecessary pressure and unrealistic expectations. Denovo also helps you gain a sense of community through the process of matching you with buddies that share similar skill levels and interests as you. It helps promote people’s inner qualities that showcase personality through engaging expressions, questions and prompts. Along with trust and social support, Denovo makes sure people have better check on their progress and growth by rewarding and reminding them of their achievements. This way, living a healthy lifestyle no longer becomes a journey that is irrational and unrealistic, instead it gets converted into a long term journey for fellow Denovo users.
