CNBC features how IBM software is powering a smarter (healthier) planet: There’s good news for those who set losing weight as a New Year's Resolution. You don’t have to pay a trainer to motivate and guide you. Through the combination of IBM WebSphere Operational Decision Management (WODM) software and the latest BodyMedia FIT Armband, anyone who wants to lose weight can have their own personal trainer and nutritionist.

Powered by IBM WODM software (technology that originated from our acquisition of ILOG) and business rules that IBM Business Partner Summa created, the system tracks health and weight factors like physical activity, caloric intake and sleep patterns at an astounding rate of 5,000 data points per minute.

So if you slept too little, weren’t active enough, and ate meals that were high in fat, the device will offer tips and advice on types of activities to complete to meet your weight loss target.
