Wearable fitness trackers have come a long way in recent times. What were once simple step counters became heart rate monitors and much more. Yet there is only so much data any device can gather from your wrist. Even the count of steps taken and calories burned is not always accurate from this position. That’s why Biostrap has more than one sensor. Along with a wearable wristband, this complete health platform has a footpad. It knows exactly how hard you hit the gym.
– Combined wristband and footpad system provides total health and fitness data
– Tracks your heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, respiratory rate, and more
– Works at the gym, on your bike, in the pool, or on the streets
If you bother to wear an activity monitor, you probably care about your wellbeing. The trouble is, many devices on the market are both limited and inaccurate. The number of steps you take is less relevant than the incline or the pace. As for the calorie count? Pure guesswork, really.
Biostrap takes a far more scientific approach to health and fitness. The system does rely on a wristband, but it also comes with a shoepod. This hangs on your laces and monitors the actual steps you take.
What’s more, Biostrap takes into account your sporting activities and overnight rest. As a result, you build up a comprehensive picture of your health outlook.
There are several reasons why it’s important to quantify your workouts. Firstly, calories are surprisingly difficult to burn. Even walking several miles isn’t enough to make up for that oversized lunch.
Secondly, fitness is partly about training your heart and lungs. You might know when breathing gets harder, but you really need a more accurate measure. Biostrap analyzes every single heart beat for 29 different parameters, so you can set yourself specific targets.
The Biostrap wristband takes into account every bike ride and run around the block. It monitors your heart rate and respiratory rate, along with your blood oxygen saturation. It works with pretty much any sport, and even in the pool. In fact, Biostrap can figure out your training method automatically. You can then create custom goals for each activity.
Aside from the athletic stuff, this system is great for tracking your health. Biostrap monitors your sleep each night, and the steps you take during the day. The wristband also has a clinical-grade PPG sensor. All the collected data is available to view via the Biostrap app.
As for the devices, both are lightweight and packed with technology. The wristband has a battery life of 3–5 days, and it weighs just 0.77 ounces. The shoe clip is only 0.28 ounces, and it can keep going for 8 days.
“Your body movements are too complex for just one activity tracking device. That’s why the Biostrap platform utilizes two devices that work in harmony to help you understand your body and take your training to the next level.” — Biostrap
Health metrics that actually mean something. Quite apart from fitness, Biostrap is useful for people with heart conditions.
Additional sensors could provide even better accuracy for various activities, such as different swimming strokes.
