NBA star Aaron Gordon looks to app to stay Lucid
Summary
While Gordon was the odds-on favorite to win this years throw down, after losing the 2016 slam fest by just a few points in an epic battle, he lost again Saturday to Indiana Pacer Glenn Robinson III. In one infamous case, the Federal Trade Commission sued Lumos Labs, which claimed its Lumosity app could do everything from help with homework to protect against dementia, all through playing its games. Lucid, for its part, has received generally positive reviews on its app from users ranging from a competitive runner to a roller derby skater to someone trying to lose 25 pounds. Mark Williams, chair of the health, kinesiology and recreation department at the University of Utah, say that while some of these apps may lead to short-term improvements, they need more scientific study to prove their effectiveness. Betchart says his app is also designed using the teachings of George Mumford, now an advisor for his company, whos worked with NBA greats Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and Shaquille ONeal.
