Solstice vs Victa

Solstice is an operating system for governance in low-resource regions.

Since what gets measured gets done, we approach the task of eradicating global poverty by building capacity to measure better and more meaningful data. We develop and host a free data management platform used in over 160 countries. Solstice also works directly with governments, civil society organizations, and academic researchers on data-driven approaches to reducing poverty. With the Solstice app you can map sites, record any kind of surveys, and manage them effectively in real time. With our grab-and-go Management Information Systems you can use the data you collect to effectively boost your decision-making.

Victa is the first gaming running app, maintaining user's journey to their results by merging fitness with an addictive game and NLP chatbot.

We are striving to drastically increase retention in fitness now and other healthtech domains in the future to make more people healthier. We do it via creating a sticky factor with a character and telling a great animated story where user participates via moving. We rely on several scientific approaches in the product such as the anchoring effect, compulsion loop and pseudo-set framing to impact retention. We are going to balance fitness and gamification allowing users to use Victa as a full-fledged fitness tracker, but simultaneously get more motivation.
