Sherpa is a new way to think about your health. It is a companion application to your wearable that makes the information your wearable capture more useful and actionable.

It uses this information to nudge you into making healthier choices that are aligned with your health goals. It looks at things holistically and tries to align healthier choices with your lifestyle so that you can achieve your wellness goals with a minimum of disruption to your life.

Sherpa is different in a few ways that allow it to work IN CONJUNCTION with your favorite health apps.

Most health apps are narrow but deep. They do a great job of recommending workouts, tracking heartrate, and generally being good at one specific thing.

You also probably have some favorites, like Strava or RunKeeper.

Sherpa is designed to unify information about your health into simple easy to understand metrics, and then direct you to the healthiest choice you can make.

At the moment, you need to have an Apple Watch and IOS Device. If you have a WHOOP or and Oura, email us at admin@sherpa.fitness and we can tell you how to make it work with the app. Support for devices will be coming soon, as well as support for android devices.

NO! Your health data stays on YOUR device. The analytics on your health data runs ON your device. The only reason we need an email address and password is to save your login information, goal parameters and start date.

Sherpa is designed to NOT bother you. Specifically, it is designed to avoid the awful 11:30 pm announcement that "YOU CAN STILL DO IT"...or the annoying 7am "Normally you are more active". As such, it allows you to define your day around your schedule. It has FOUR distinct blocks of time to help you define when you want to be nudged, and when you want to be left alone.

Other than sleep time - here is the general way to define your day: 1. Morning -> This is the timeperiod from when you normally wake up, until you have responsibilities that you cannot be disturbed from. For instance, if I wake up at 6:30 am...and I start work 9:00 am. But I know that I always want to spend 30 minutes having coffee, I will set my "Morning" to be from 07:00am-9:00 am.

2. Mid Morning -> This is the time period that covers your morning responsibilities. In my case, I have morning things to do until lunch at 12:00pm. So I set my mid-morning from 09:01 - 12:00.

3. Afternoon - > This is the timeperiod between lunch and dinner. In my case, I might have work meetings until 5 or 6pm everyday, this is a block of time that I know exists, and I want to specficially define. So for me it's 12:01-6:00 pm.

4. Evening - > This is the time where you would accept being nudged after work. I don't want to be nudged after 9pm, so I will set my evening to:

6:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

Workouts are different than activities, and thus you might want to be nudged at different times.

For instance. I know that I always have meetings from 12:00pm to 6:00 pm on most days. This is not a time that I can get away from the office.

So, I will set my WORKOUT blocks to the evening on days that I COULD do a workout in the evening.

That said, I know that on Mondays and Wednesdays, I have a bunch of global update telecons. On these days, I can't leave the office, but I COULD take a walk around the pond if I don't need to be camera. So I will select activity blocks for these days.

This is the burndown chart. It allows you to easily visualize a number of metrics about your performance in one simple chart.

1. The Teal Line: This is your total amount of effort that you need to expend during this particular CareGuide Cycle. The date where the teal line crosses the 0 mark is the end-date of the plan.
   

2. The Black Line: This is your current progress. If you are UNDER the Teal line - you're ahead of the curve. If you're OVER it, you are lagging the goal.
   

3. The Red Line: This is the projection of how you will track towards your goal, based on your past performance. This line will cross the 0 point to show you when you will likely complete your plan.
