12 Ways Your Phone Can Help You Be Healthier and More Productive

When our schedules are packed with meetings, projects, and—oh right—more meetings, it’s not uncommon for our health to slip down what feels like an impossibly long list of priorities. But, when our bodies aren’t functioning properly, it’s easy to under-deliver in those meetings and projects. Just think of that time when you had to run to Starbucks before you could look at another spreadsheet.

We bring you good news: There are plenty of smartphone resources that will make you a healthier employee—and consequently a more productive one. From apps that automatically track your daily steps to devices that display your body fat and BMI, WhoIsHostingThis? has compiled 12 tools that will help you stay fit and energized even on the busiest of workdays.

Just a few notes before you dive in. While the listed resources are all currently on the market, some prices have changed since the infographic’s creation. Also, the Apple Watch and Ginger.io listed under “The Future” section have already been released—but get excited because Google’s Project Ara and Sano Intelligence are preparing for their grand launches.
