Our nature counter application gets people an expectation of benefit proportionately. We have a partially finished android and iphone app in gitab aiming at an MVP, and plans for a V2 partially developed. The app is not on the market yet.

People who live in cities and the communities that connect them can achieve goals through increasing their nature dose. There is a user-centered design gap in nature in culture in that it is not discussed in terms of its benefits. Exercise may have an obvious connection to health but the fact that people sitting on a park bench are experiencing a scientifically established public health benefit is not universally understood. Scientists have been explaining this to other researchers but it hasn’t become universal knowledge any country in the world.

""If you’ve ever inhaled the warm, woodsy scent of cedar or the fresh, clean scent of pine, you’ve experienced the natural aromatherapy of phytoncides. This distinctive category of woodland-based essential oils are released by trees and plants as part of their defence system.

According to Dr. Qing Li, a physician, professor at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, and president of the Japanese Society of Forest Medicine:

Trees release phytoncides to protect them from bacteria, insects and fungi. Phyton is Green for 'plant,’ and cide is 'to kill.’ Phytoncides are also part of the communication pathway between trees: the way trees talk to each other. The concentration of phytoncides in the air depends on the temperature and other changes that take place throughout the year. The warmer it is, the more phytoncides there are in the are."" (3)

""A recent study of 20,000 people published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that people who spend at least 120 minutes per week - that’s about 18 minutes a day - in nature are far more likely to report being in good health and having higher psychological well-being, as compared to those who don’t embrace nature. People who spent some time in nature, but fewer than 120 minutes a week, ""were no more likely to report good health or high well-being than those who reported 0 minutes,"" the study authors found.""

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/13/health/nature-outdoors-health.html

 

120 Minutes per week in nature is also geo-locateable on phones. Have you gotten your 120 minutes a week at medium edose nature, or 90 minutes a day of high dose nature?

That is determinable by if your smart phone shows you in the park for how many minutes.

 

We aim to build an app that counts how many minutes in nature each week you have spent and reporting that back to the person. This is like step counts, but based on time in nature as walks through non-parks don’t count for the nature counter.


- Participate in weekly discussions across teams and stakeholders on ways to reach project goals.
Time-based nature benefits-
15 Minutes in Nature
Decrease in pulse rate by 3.9%
Decrease in systolic blood pressure by 1.9%
Decrease in diastolic blood pressure by 2.1%
Lower levels of cortisol (stress hormone)
Increased parasympathetic nerve activity and decreased sympathetic nerve activity. The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to control respiration, digestion, and heart rate. When you are calm, the parasympathetic nervous system is increased, lowering your heart rate and respiration, and increasing digestion. In a stressful situation, the fight or flight (sympathetic) response is triggered, dilating pupils, increasing heart rate and respiration, which allows you to breathe faster.
Feel more relaxed, yet energized
30 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15 minutes in nature AND
Increased attention span
Reduction in depression symptoms by 7%
Reduction in high blood pressure by 9%
50 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, and 40 minutes in nature AND
An increased attention span with the ability to block out irrelevant stimuli and concentrate
A decreased level of anxiety
120 minutes (2 hours) in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, 40, and 50 minutes in nature AND
An overall sense of well-being and happiness
A better, more restful sleep
150 minutes (2.5 hours) in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, 40, 50, and 120 minutes in nature AND
Reduction in feelings of anxiety
Reduced need to ruminate on past events and focus on the future
200 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, 40, 50, and 120 minutes in nature AND
The feeling of well-being and happiness

Nature benefits we're communicating:
Performance on backwards digit-span (a cognitively demanding task that requires directed attention/requires the person to block out irrelevant stimuli and focus) significantly improved while walking in nature Maintain the focus staring at something on paper better during and after a walk in nature. The ability to focus was not only recuperated by nature, but was even better compared to before going out into nature. A faster and more stable pattern of responding on the Attention Network Task Cognitive performance especially for self-perceived affect was found to improve significantly more after nature interactions compared to urban interactions. Overall, BDS ( backwards digit span) performance improved on average by 0.75 (SD = 2.11) points from pre- to post-nature interactions and 0.29 (SD = 2.19) BDS points from pre- to post urban environment interactions. Reduce the population prevalence of depression and high blood pressure by up to 7% and 9% respectively. A lower rates of depression and of high blood pressure. 3.9% decrease in pulse rate. Systolic blood pressure was lower (1.9% decrease). Diastolic blood pressure was lower (2.1% decrease). good reported health and high subjective wellbeing lower concentrations of cortisol, lower pulse rate, lower blood pressure, greater parasympathetic nerve activity, and lower sympathetic nerve activity walking leads to improved psychological state, reduced state-anxiety and perceived stress

Benefits by Time in Nature:

15 Minutes in Nature
Decrease in pulse rate by 3.9%
Decrease in systolic blood pressure by 1.9%
Decrease in Diastolic blood pressure by 2.1%
Lower levels of cortisol (stress hormone)
Greater parasympathetic nerve activity and decreased sympathetic nerve activity. The sympathies and parasympathetic nervous systems work together to control respiration, digestion, and heart rate. When you are calm, the parasympathetic nervous system is increased, lowering your heart rate and respiration and increasing digestion. In a stressful situation, the fight or flight response is triggered, increasing the sympathetic nervous system to dilate pupils, increase heart rate and increase respiration, making you breathe faster.
Feel more relaxed, yet energized

30 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15 minutes in nature AND
Increased attention span
Reduction in depression symptoms by 7%
Reduction in high blood pressure by 9%
40 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15 and 30 minutes in nature AND
Restored attention and increased attention and ability to concentrate
50 minutes in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, and 40 minutes in nature AND
An increased attention span with the ability to block out irrelevant stimuli and concentrate
A decreased level of anxiety
120 minutes (2 hours) in nature
All of the benefits from 15, 30, 40, and 50 minutes in nature AND
An overall sense of well-being and happiness
 

 



We aim for dual use materials-free for internal volunteer project management training for volunteers and external courses. Our goal is to increase the fraction of project management that is managing stakeholder interest and non treating stakeholders like public relations.

We would have the goal to shift how project managers think about managing stakeholder interests from taking the courses. Our aim is a portfolio of e-learning service learning course options having a series of free content publicly and paid content at more advanced levels which would still be free to our volunteers. Our goal would be democratizing the skills of managing stakeholder interests rather than stakeholder perceptions management. That contributes to the discourse around how to achieve stakeholder goals and to project management as a tool for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. ""... ""I think its partially from saying that project management learning from the social enterprise sector would accommodate the interests of project stakeholders. For example, if a project has a risk of a delay, if it is key to a stakeholder category, that is a stronger reason to delay/expand scope than if all stakeholder categories are beneficiaries to varying degrees. There are associations of people working on ""complex partnerships"" which is really the extension of project management to managing interests of stakeholders. That is why we want to create service learning PM online courses.

Extensive experience in one or multiple of the following:
1. E-learning course development,
2. E-learning platform go-to-market,
3. UN SDGs & project management,
4. Project management training of others.
5. Project management dependency analysis training of others/teaching project management.
6. Project management automation/project management technology.
7. E-learning revenue model development,
8. Service learning curriculum development,
9. Project management template creation

"". A researcher from the University of San Francisco believes that being among trees and soaking in their oils encourages our bodies to release oxytocin.

""If you’ve ever inhaled the warm, woodsy scent of cedar or the fresh, clean scent of pine, you’ve experienced the natural aromatherapy of phytoncides. This distinctive category of woodland-based essential oils are released by trees and plants as part of their defence system.

According to Dr. Qing Li, a physician, professor at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, and president of the Japanese Society of Forest Medicine:

Trees release phytoncides to protect them from bacteria, insects and fungi. Phyton is Green for 'plant,’ and cide is 'to kill.’ Phytoncides are also part of the communication pathway between trees: the way trees talk to each other. The concentration of phytoncides in the air depends on the temperature and other changes that take place throughout the year. The warmer it is, the more phytoncides there are in the are."" (3)

In this study, inhaling tree-derived phytoncides reduced stress hormone levels in both men and women and increased natural killer (NK) cell activity (a vital part of our immune system).
