The market for digital fitness coaches is on the rise with the 'Liv' being one of the latest designs to be unveiled. The 'Liv' works by constantly taking bio-readings in order to keep track of the wearer when they are exercising or simply going about their day. The 'Liv' will offer vibrational feedback to let you know if you're at risk of hurting yourself in some way with your current athletic endeavor to cut down on the occurrence of physical injuries.
The 'Liv' is the design work of Nicolas Schmitt and works alongside an accompanying mobile app that can let you know if you're staying hydrated or if you need to take a rest after a workout.
