Philips ActiveLink is a wearable device that monitors physical activity and sleep. Along with the accompanying application, it gives insight about activity, allows to set goals and helps to motivate yourself to stay fit and get healthier.

Over the last couple of years we did several projects together with Lunar Logic. LL implemented many important web features for our ActiveLink product. ActiveLink is an online service (web/apps) that aims at increasing daily activity levels of its users. It is a product of Royal Philips and Weight Watchers. We were pleased with both the way of working of LL and with the quality of the features they delivered.
