Natalie Cunningham found out the adiBigSis app through a summer camp she recently attended. She completed her profile which includes her dream colleges and reasons why she wanted to join.
Jennifer found out the adiBigSis from her college career center when she was looking to fulfill her collegiate community service.
They system matched Natalie and Jennifer because of commonalities: same high school, experienced severe ankle sprain, and Jennifer is currently attending one of Natalie’s dream colleges.

After connecting with Jennifer through the adiBigSis app. Natalie also purchased adiBand which monitors user’s heart rate, tracks location and speed. User can also change adiBand’s color to match their teammates’.

Jennifer is able to view Natalie’s status during her training, so she can provide real time feedbacks and guidance to help Natalie goes through the rehab period.
