How would Motus Move app make things easy for parents as well as their children?
With the Motus Move app, children would get a tool that would remind them of taking a small ‘fitness’ break from their screen time so that they could stretch themselves a bit before getting back to their task on the device.
By just activating the app, timely reminders could be set, allowing the children to indulge in one sitting and one standing exercise for about 60 seconds. These breaks would be continuing till the Motus timer is deactivated.
It was pretty important to understand that the target users were kids, and this is why things had to be kept pretty simple while also instilling a high degree of fun within the whole process.

The development team then also came up with a great design that could blow the competition out of the way while also keeping true to the initial concept as well.
The database management on the Motus Move app was done with the help of MySQL, and the AWS server was utilized to keep the app online.
