BodyMedia, Inc., the Pittsburgh-based pioneer in developing wearable body monitoring systems, took the wraps off the latest version of The GoWear fit Lifestyle and Calorie Management System, which now allows users to gain faster access to more of their personalized data so that they can achieve their goals of lower weight and overall wellness.
Reinforcing the company’s mission of offering user-friendly body-monitoring products that deliver the highest level of accuracy available in the market, BodyMedia has added the following new online updates:
- Log-in speed: Improved log-in time enables quicker access to users’ data;
- Updated goal tracking: The GoWear fit Online Activity Manager interface now plots users’ weight loss goals graphically, allowing them to see at a glance if they’re on the right path to achieving those goals;
- Nutritional information: Users who track consumption through daily food logging or nutrition assessments can now see more detailed nutritional information of their diet, including vitamins, minerals, caffeine, and alcohol;
- Metric unit support: Users now have the option to log their height in centimeters, weight in kilograms, and view their energy consumption and expenditure in joules.
Different from a simple pedometer, accelerometer or heart rate monitor, GoWear fit is a lifestyle and calorie management system that tracks key physical characteristics that can directly affect your health and weight:
- Calories burned
- Calories consumed (user logs food via an integrated online system)
- Physical activity
- Steps taken
- Sleep duration and efficiency
