Project 61 Launches Mobile Platform to Improve Health of Truck Drivers
A new initiative, Project 61, aims to address a health crisis among truck drivers in the United States. The project, which was recently launched, is a nonprofit organization based in Carmel, Indianapolis.
Project 61's mobile platform, acquired from health and wellness company Offshift, is designed to improve the health and wellness of American truck drivers. The platform provides a free mobile app coupled with a practical, proven roadmap for maintaining health on the road.
The mobile app, accessible to drivers industry-wide, removes cost barriers to usage. It offers a health and wellness roadmap tailored specifically for truck drivers, addressing their unique needs and challenges associated with health on the road. The app provides practical guidance that encourages sustainable health habits in daily life for drivers, helping mitigate the risks of a physically demanding profession.
The mobile platform is designed to be intuitive and user-friendly for truck drivers. It coaches five-minute workouts within truck cabs, suggests healthier food options at truck stops, and tracks sleep. The platform's core purpose centers around driver empowerment through accessible health tools and education.
According to the news release by Project 61, truck drivers have the highest rates of obesity and diabetes of any occupation in the U.S. The health crisis among truck drivers is worsening as chronic disease continues to skyrocket.
Dr. Mark Manera, president and chief health officer of Project 61, will lead the efforts to address the health crisis among truck drivers. Manera states that Offshift was built to change the health landscape for truck drivers, and the merger with Project 61 will enable them to bring this solution to every driver in North America at no cost.

Reymer founded Project 61 with the goal of raising awareness and providing education and resources to address the health crisis among truck drivers.
