New Version Of Wellness Diary With Facebook Sharing Feature Now Available In Ovi Store!

It's time for the monthly update of the Wellness Diary application that adds Facebook sharing feature, reduce Power consumption and brings some minor UI improvements amongst other things.

If you already are Wellness Diary user, you can utilize the software update functionality in your Wellness Diary to upgrade to the newest version.

Wellness Diary will automatically offer you the update sometime soon or alternatively you can start the update right away by selecting Wellness Diary Settings and changing the Automatic software update status first OFF and then back ON.

If you have been living under a rock for the past few weeks, Wellness Diary is new service that makes it easy to take an active role in the daily and/or long-term management of your health and allows you to monitor and track a range of everyday well-being parameters, including weight, eating habits, exercise, blood pressure and others.

Couple of months ago at the Nokia World conference in London, Nokia launched new interesting service and appropriate mobile application called the New , and now I'm happy to inform you that the wait is over and application is finally available for Symbian^3 and S60 5th edition devices.

This new service makes it easy to take an active role in the daily and/or long-term management of your health and allows you to monitor and track a range of everyday well-being parameters, including weight, eating habits, exercise, blood pressure and others.

Because this health journal resides on a personal mobile device , you will have privacy and ease of speedy use in everyday situations as well as the convenience of mobile data, readily available to be shared with a physician or a personal trainer.

New Wellness Diary service and application helps you to manage and improve your wellbeing by allowing and helping you to set different wellness goals (such as getting in shape), follow your progress, get immediate feedback in order to improve your wellness and view your overall trend development via different graphs.

You can share your own wellness data with your friends in different social community services. Over time the New Wellness Diary will also allow users to access various services from 3rd party wellness experts who offer more detailed feedback and coaching.

Also, in the future, a lot of monitoring will be automatic. Already the Wellness Diary beta version will automatically keep track of the users’ daily activity – without the user having to do anything.

What’s wonderful about the New Wellness Diary is that it’s a holistic service. Users can flexibly choose from a number of wellness areas what they want to focus on. Users can also change their focus in the course of time – e.g. after achieving weight targets one might concentrate to stress recovery.

In the Beta version you can follow-up your weight, stress, sleep, exercise, activity, diet etc. Tracking progress also requires minimum effort in Wellness Diary. Steps, for example, are counted automatically without the users having to do anything else than carrying their phones with them. Easy as it can be!

The holistic approach of Wellness Diary is very useful, as wellness areas – such as stress and sleep – are often linked with each other. The benefit of Wellness Diary is that consumers can have a comprehensive view on their wellness, set and change their own individual goals with their changing needs.
