"What interests you about Zume Life?"

Here are some of the things our users have told us in response to that simple question:

"I have trouble remembering to take my medication and I have been hoping for this technology to become available. When I miss a dose, it makes for an unpleasant day. I'm hoping Zume can help me stay on track and have more good days."

"It looks like it can help me control many aspects of my life. And it could help me control my conditions and communicate to my doctor more effectively."

"I am interested in quitting smoking and devoting time to exercise. I am interested in testing your product with the hope that it will give me the motivation I need to achieve positive outcomes."

"I sometimes forget to do certain things to take care of myself and manage my conditions and would like to be more organized to keep my care consistent."

"I quit taking depression / anti anxiety medicine b/c I couldn't remember to take it. I eat things and it makes me feel sick, but I never can remember to journal what foods I ate, and what my reaction to the food was. It would be awesome to be able to have something that I can carry with me to not only motivate me, but record my food and exercise. Hopefully that would spur me to lose some weight."

"To be able to track all the little things that add up to better health."

" It seems like a good way to track my activity and document where I need to cut down on eating and focus on exercise."

"It would remind me to take my meds--which is a real problem with all the running around I'm doing as a professional/mother/volunteer. Also it would help me unobtrusively track my health data."

"It's the first idea that seems like it might actually help!"

"I am always looking for ways to help me manage ongoing health conditions. As a very involved father of three active kids, I sometimes lose track of time or become involved in other activities and forget to properly monitor these conditions. Also, I have always been interested in technological aids to manage health conditions and other aspects of my life."

"My depression and chronic fatigue often causes me to be unmotivated and overwhelmed with trying to maintain a health lifestyle such as exercise and eating right. I would like to try out something that can help me be more accountable in achieving these goals."

"Having a constant little 'good me' to nag me and remind me to do the things that I 'forget' when I get busy or lazy."

"I have a very busy life, and often I forget to carry with me, or take meds even if I have them. I need a way to organize my active life around all the meds (with or without food) that I have to take. My work schedule is variable, it plays a role on forgetting my meds sometimes."

"It sounded like a good way/product to help me get my health back under control and trackable. I think if I could see results easier, I would be more likely to take better care of my health."

"I think this kind of technology can provide me with valuable feedback on my desire to control and improve my health. I am starting a health and exercise program and want to track all aspects of my progress."

"I am always looking for an easier way to manage my medications and general health. I've been using mobile technology since my transplant to keep track of my Rx's, treatments and general health conditions."

"i know what i need to do, but i'm also adhd which makes it very difficult to stay on schedule or follow a plan, just i'm excellent at working withing a struture where i'm responding to stimulus during the day and taking an action. with the zume i'm hope to have a device with me where the distance between tracking and action is short (my pocket), easy (voice, or clicking), and provides the structure i need to manage my health. it's been very difficult even though i know what i need to do."

"The possibility of being able to customize tracking data and to use voice reports is a real innovation here!"

"I want to be involved in making my Type I diabetes better. It will never go away, but I want to control it. The doctor says I need to get healthier than I am."
