viivio has High-performance health optimization down to a science.

Created by some of the world’s leading high-performance health experts, VIIVIO is backed by science. And we take that pledge seriously.

THE SCIENCE BEHIND VIIVIO

VIIVIO was built by a team of high performance scientists with PH.D.’s in physiology, nutrition and psychology.

Our group of expert scientists poured over the research to craft an algorithm unlike any other. And by poured, we mean POURED. This app took 3 years to design as we sifted through the latest research to identify what the key markers of overall health should be and how to track them in a simple way.

Then we waited patiently for technology to catch up to us.

In recent years, there have been major advances in wearable technology.

There are many fitness and sleep trackers out in the market, as well as countless nutrition and meditation apps.

We are huge fans of many of these but as we looked for tools to recommend to our clients, we kept running into one big issue - most fitness trackers and health apps focus on just one or two aspects of your health but we want to focus on all of them! Sleep, fitness, nutrition and mindset.

With that in mind, we kicked off our research and started building the app to answer these questions.

What physiological data will help us get a full picture of overall health?
How do we track all aspects of health without it becoming overwhelming?
How can we provide actionable feedback along with a score?
Can we give you individualized recommendations based on your own physiological data?

The result is the VIIVIO Health & Performance App.

WELL, IT TOOK SOME TIME AND SOME VERY LONG NIGHTS, BUT WE FINALLY DID IT!

To get a picture of overall health it’s about more than the number of steps you take in a day, the number of calories you eat or strictly about heart-rate variability. It’s about all of these things, and so much more.

Most importantly it’s about applying the science, tracking your progress, adding micro-enhancements over time and being consistent. So we designed VIIVIO to help you do this more effectively.

What does the research tell us?

The research shows that in order to achieve optimal health and performance, and to reach your true potential, there are four key health factors that need to be optimized - sleep, physical activity, nutrition and mindset.

Beyond that, each of these factors are deeply connected and interrelated. For example, if you favour fitness but neglect nutrition, your net health gains are compromised. Or if you focus on sleep at the expense of your mindset, again, your net health improvement is lessened.

Our research also shows that if we can help you make micro-improvements consistently, we can create new habits that stick.

When we install 1% wins consistently, our lives get better. Simple but not necessarily easy.

THAT’S WHERE VIIVIO COMES IN

A lot of time and expert research has gone into the creation of this app. From figuring out what physiological data we wanted to track, to creating the sophisticated algorithm and from developing the software, to fine tuning our user experience, we have left no stone unturned in an effort to create a tool that will expertly serve you and help millions of people around the world live healthy lives and perform their very best.
