Social Motion Project app for iPhone and iPad

The Social Motion Project is an online platform that rewards peoples exercise by linking it to decision-making around recreational infrastructure and services.

The app reads, with your permission, the fitness data that has already been tracked on your iPhone, Apple Watch or wearable, and coverts steps into daily units of exercise (DUEs).

Recognizing that your exercise has value to all of us, users are able to assign their DUEs to fund different recreational projects or to signal support for future priorities. Users work together as Teams to reach a sufficient level of contributed DUEs much faster than can be achieved working alone.

Corporate, school and other Teams that come with their own source of funds use the Social Motion platform to reward exercise by their members with funding for specific initiatives. When the desired initiative has been assigned enough DUEs from enough users, it gets funded.

Other Teams that do not have their own source of funds are focused on building a coalition of support for action on future priorities. As more and more DUEs are assigned to a priority, advocates can point to its importance as demonstrated through the determination, commitment and sweat of concerned citizens.

The Social Motion Project is a fitness service that, with your permission, accesses your fitness data through HealthKit. Social Motion respects your privacy. Of note, this app: does not disclose any information gained through HealthKit to third parties; does not sell information gained through HealthKit to advertising platforms, data brokers, or information resellers; and, does not use information gained through the use of the HealthKit framework for advertising or similar services. Social Motion uses HealthKit to access your steps data in order to calculate "Daily Units of Exercise" for the purpose of determining the number of lottery tickets assigned to each user in a month. "Daily Units of Exercise" is a not a medically-certified or recognized concept, but rather a methodology used in this app for setting a goal that helps users reach a daily step count of 10,000 steps.
