Motivation from the Jury

»Functional for the parents and fun for the kids. A creative idea that enables kids to combine outdoor activities with new technology«, says one of the jury members. ReimaGO is a product to motivate kids to be more physically active in a fun and playful way. It combines a washable activity sensor, made by Suunto, that can be attached in a special pocket on Reima kids wear. With help of the simple app (iOS) kids can combine their physical activities with a mobile game and parents have an overview on the level of their kid’s movement.

Sustainability information

ReimaGO® utilizes gamification of tracking kids’ movement to help encourage their activity outdoors, with the aim of improving their general health, motor skills and learning abilities. The ReimaGO® sensor is extremely durable and waterproof/machine washable, so it won’t be damaged if it is washed while inside its pocket.
