Your Personal Physiotherapy & Training Companion Highly individual. Super intuitive. Daily support. For you to simply remember your moves. Askisa is an iOS app for patients, connected to a secure web app for physiotherapists and trainers. It transforms how exercises are recorded, remembered, and progressed – directly during the session and every day afterward. Exercises are recorded in real time on the patient’s phone, exactly as adapted by the therapist. They’re instantly structured, always available, and never forgotten. No more handwritten plans. No more forgotten exercises. No more gaps between sessions. Why Askisa? Physiotherapy and training only work if exercises are done correctly, consistently, and confidently. Askisa supports this by combining visual guidance, intuitive tracking, and true individualization. Every exercise you see is your exercise – not a generic demo. What Askisa Does 1. Real-Time Exercise Recording Exercises are recorded live during the session: Using the phone’s camera With verbal cues and explanations from the therapist Exactly adapted to the individual body, condition, and goal Each exercise includes: - Exercise name - Category (mobility, coordination, strength) - Sets, rounds, repetitions, or duration - Equipment - Body area or joint - Personal notes and cues Videos are stored locally on the patient’s device – not in the web app. This ensures privacy, clarity, and simplicity. Visual exercises improve body awareness, motor learning, and correct execution. 2. Mix & Match – Flexible, Individual Workouts - Combine exercises into structured workouts - Adjust order, volume, and focus at any time - Reuse exercises across different plans - Clean, intuitive layout for fast use during sessions This saves time for therapists while keeping training highly individual and evidence-based. 3. Progress Tracker – More Than Reps - Askisa tracks what really matters for long-term success: - Physical progress - Sensations and emotions - Personal goals and reflections - Patients can save thoughts or questions during training – so nothing is forgotten and everything can be discussed in the next session. This creates daily support, reflection, and continuity. Connected Web App (For Professionals) - Askisa is linked to a secure web app for physiotherapists and trainers, where they can: - Manage patients - View assigned exercises and workouts (titles only) - Track structure and progression No video storage in the web app – videos stay exclusively on the patient’s phone. Languages English · German · French · Spanish · Italian Pricing The iOS app is free for patients. Askisa works in connection with the professional web app used by physiotherapists and trainers.

Five times a day a real alarm rings – at random times, even when your iPhone is silent. You start 90 seconds of stillness, a gong ends them. That's all. And that's the point. NowGong is not a meditation library. No courses, no voices, no account. Just a ritual that interrupts your day – short enough to always fit, frequent enough to change something. HOW IT WORKS – Real alarms: cut through the silent switch and Focus – Random times inside your time windows – or fixed times if you prefer – 90 seconds of stillness with a gong at the start and the end – A grace period instead of pressure: starting shortly after the alarm still counts – If several alarms fall close together, the sessions wait for you as a stack YOUR RHYTHM – Weekly plan per gong: several time windows with weekdays, even overnight – Gongs: several parallel rhythms with their own sound, color, and times (Pro) – Your intention: a personal line under the timer – write your own or pick one of 24 templates, from gratitude to your future self. Made for manifesting, too: 90 seconds to feel what it’s like when it’s already here. – A pause button for loud days; Focus filter: per iOS Focus the bell rings, reminds quietly, or stays silent – Shortcuts: pause and resume NowGong automatically, for example with the Driving Focus KEEP GOING – Daily ring and streak – strict, mild, or off; a joker repairs a broken day – Widget for Home and Lock Screen – stays current even on days you don't open the app – Weekly card and milestones to share – free – Statistics: minutes, rates, mood, times of day, "from alarm to stillness" (Pro) – Check-in after the gong: mindful minutes and state of mind – on your iPhone and, if you wish, in Apple Health PRIVATE No account, no tracking, no ads. Your sessions, statistics, and check-ins stay on your iPhone. Only when you use the feedback form do you send us a message – voluntarily, without an account, with a diagnostic attachment only if you choose. NOWGONG PRO Buy once instead of subscribing (optional yearly plan): up to 5 gongs, up to 12 sessions a day, a weekly joker, four sound packs, statistics – and everything still to come. Family Sharing included. NOWGONG PRO – PURCHASE OPTIONS NowGong Pro Lifetime: one-time purchase, no renewal. NowGong Pro Yearly: 12-month auto-renewable subscription (price varies by region).
