Motovate will help you
• Silence notification distractions.
• Build safer and smarter driving habits with rewards.
• Stay focused on the road.

The Problem
One second you hear a “DING!”, and the next second you’re swerving to narrowly avoid a rear-end collision. Even though we know better, this is far too common of a situation for most of us, and the resulting dings and damages can be expensive.

About 20% of reported motor vehicle crashes are due to distracted driving, causing over 3,000 deaths per year. Companies in the US spend almost $10 Billion each year in costs related to the damages, injuries, and litigation of distracted driving crashes. Texting while driving is especially problematic because of the development and repetition of bad phone habits behind the wheel.

The Solution
MOTOVATE™ is an app-supported incentive program, designed to increase awareness, improve driver behavior, and form new, healthy habits, while driving. It rewires the bad habit of checking your phone, and replaces it with the good habit of paying attention to the road (and getting rewarded for it!). It can also be set up to improve some basic driving behaviors like hard-braking and speeding.

When you drive with MOTOVATE, your phone’s notifications take a break, removing the major temptation of the “DING!”. The app then counts all the safe miles driven and allows you to cash them in for real rewards. In addition to the incentive or rewards, simply creating teams with family, or friends at school and in the office, offers motivation in the form of accountability and a healthy dose of competition.

The Technology
Because no driver is exactly like another, the app allows numerous ways to integrate with technologies that are likely already in your car. By using the suggested OBD-II Bluetooth, the Motovate app’s responsiveness and accuracy is improved and its full potential is unlocked. Whatever your moto-vation is to drive safely, Motovate allows you to take control of your technology and improve your driving wellness.
