Case Study: Encephalitis International improves Brain Walk step tracking with The Distance

Encephalitis International runs Brain Walk for several years with The Distance

Encephalitis International, a charity, needed to automate step tracking for its annual Brain Walk to improve accuracy and reduce manual input for its broad user base. They partnered with The Distance to develop a user-friendly app that could seamlessly connect with various wearable devices and mobile platforms.

The Distance created an app integrated with Apple Health and Google Fit for simple setup and comprehensive wearable compatibility. They also built a CMS to allow the charity to easily manage the event annually. The solution was a success, running for several years with updates to maintain device compatibility. The app's progress tracking and social sharing features boosted participant engagement and sparked friendly competition.
