Still counting calories? That could be part of the problem. That diet roller coaster? The countless hours of cardio? The hunger from cutting out carbs completely?

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

That’s an insight Lindsay René Huelse wants to pass on. She has been there before — tired, starving and still gaining weight.

After researching and creating a new plan, Huelse dropped the 30 pounds she wanted to lose. Now she is sharing the secret to her success with her app, the Fitt Cycle.

While other apps focus exclusively on diet or exercise, The Woodlands resident said hers takes a broader approach.

“This is a one-stop shop,” she said. “It’s fitness. It’s diet. It’s community. You don’t have to get five apps to achieve your goals.”

And you don’t have to cut carbs, run a marathon or count calories. Instead, her approach involves targeted fitness training, intermittent fasting and “carb cycling” —

An academic research paper which was critical of the government’s Covid Tracker app was dismissed as “incorrect” and closer to “journalism” than research by the Department of Health.

The criticism was made regarding a paper compiled by Doug Leith and Stephen Farrell, academics within the school of computer science at Trinity College Dublin, which asserted, among other things, that the new app was sharing a great deal of personal information with Google.

In communication with Science Foundation Ireland, one of the app’s sponsors, a senior official in the Department of Health said “once again, Douglas Leith and Stephen Farrell have bounced a paper to… which contains a range of sweeping presumptions and assertions relating to the privacy of the app”.

“Although framed in the format of a scientific paper, it is journalistic in much of its narrative,” the official said.

It is incorrect on certain key points and it is

Raising a seed round is hard. Raising a seed round as a female founder is even harder. But raising a seed round as a female founder in the sextech space during the pandemic may sound like an impossible mission. Yet, Chloe Macintosh, founder and CEO of Kama – a new sexual wellness app, managed to secure $3 million in funding from investors including Female Founders Fund and January Ventures, among others.

Kama is the daily, guided practice designed to educate and boost sexual wellbeing and provide both mental and physiological benefits for its user.

‘Joyful journaling’ app from University of Michigan grads helps young people understand their mental health

ANN ARBOR, MI — Drew Pilat, Tommy Searle, Jack Kornet and Mars Hovasse were frustrated by the lack of self-care resources they said they found available to students when they were undergrads at the University of Michigan.

University counseling services were overwhelmed, and waitlists often stretched for weeks, and the self-care resources available were old and clinical, they said.

So, the four friends decided to create a resource of their own: Wellnest, a “joyful journaling” app where users can use their voice to make journal entries to help them get ready for their day, understand their moods or just make a few quick notes.

“We know that journaling is incredibly healthy and accessible, but not many of our peers were actually doing it,” Pilat said. “We also liked this shift because the majority of students experiencing mental health issues don’t seek help, but we could still reach them with Wellnest.”

When Equinox launched Variis—its first foray into digital fitness—earlier this year, it came with one major caveat: In order to access it, you had to either be an Equinox member or shell out $2500 for the SoulCycle at-home bike. As of today, though, the app is officially available to everyone, proving that an accessible blend of in-person and online workouts are officially the wave of the future.

In addition to Variis’s OG streaming workouts (spin classes from SoulCycle, treadmill sessions from Precision Run, yoga flows from PureYoga, and meditation and recovery classes hosted by Equinox trainers), the latest iteration of the platform will also stream classes from Solidcore, Rumble, and TB12, plus real-time, live classes. Or you can tune out and watch Netflix, Amazon, and Disney+.

At $40 a month, Variis pricing is in line with others in the industry (the “all-access” pass required

Contact-tracing and exposure-notification apps are a new technology rapidly developed and launched to respond to the COVID-19 global health crisis. The development of such applications is placing governments, corporations, and citizens around the world into an ongoing ethical design experiment resulting in potentially life-saving outcomes but also potential risks. During the summer of 2020, design teams and technology corporations presented governments with a variety of technological solutions in the form of those apps. Government leaders and ordinary citizens have needed to make decisions about which options to endorse and how to govern their use.

Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, as discussions swirled around the adoption of exposure notification or contact-tracing apps, Dr. Teresa Scassa, Dr. Jason Millar, and
