Just like a frog accustoming slowly into the boiling water and eventually to its ultimate end, we don’t realize anything is wrong until it’s too late. Our body is designed to be active.

However, in today’s world, a single system doesn’t seem possible given the different data privacy rules across jurisdictions. The result of these varying rules is that, because of the fears of being out of compliance, a lot of wellness activities just don’t happen. What’s more, rules continue to change as they have recently in places like the European Union and the United Kingdom where there are a number of prevailing factors.
