The pioneering company Mio brought out the first wrist-based, heart-rate watch. Their latest device is called PAI, which stands for Personal Activity Intelligence.
Using knowledge of physiology scientists, Mio has developed the PAI introducing runners to a new way of making sense of their heart rate.
PAI gives runners a single health score, the closer to 100, the healthier you are. This number is extracted from massive data, peer-reviewed studies and the science of heart variability.
The Slice, an elegant Mio wristband, showcases the PAI index at a glance.
2. Lumenus
Jeremy Wall is the founder of Lumenus a sports fashion company that makes running vests, shirts, and pants with sportive modern styling and futuristic features like electronics underneath to keep athletes safe in the dark.
Running in this sportswear at night, activates hidden LEDs (The battery life of these LEDs lights is 24 hours). The lights flash left or right signaling the direction of the next turn. The LEDs lights flashes also to warn other traffickers in intersections.
For self-coaching purpose another light shows how close the wearer is to a determined pace during the work out.
It is advisable to carry a phone when running, because the app is familiar with a user’s running route and expected turns based on information from Google Mapping.
Sensoria embeds electronic sensors in socks, shirts and other sportwear for up to date information about your health and running. This valuable data can then later be analyzed with the company’s phone app.
The beauty is in the details with Sensoria's advanced technology.
The pressure sensors in the socks tell foot landing technique, form, and ground-contact time: all included as data in the Sensoria app as “foot impact score.” and the Sensoria tshirts reveal kinematic information and accurate heart rate.
Always evolving the company's main focus remains on the details, including a smaller battery and wireless unit.
