Heart Rate-Monitoring Headbands

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Moov HR Tracks Wearers' Heart Rates with Impressive Accuracy

— October 19, 2016 — Lifestyle
Though fitness wearables may feel like they're a dime a dozen at this point, the new Moov HR is a unique device that is simply more effective and accurate than the majority of devices on the market. The Moov HR is a headband that tracks heart rates with incredible precision, especially when compared to fitness wristbands.

The key to the improvement in the Moov HR versus normal bands is placement. While the wrist is a good place for measuring heart rate by feel, it is far worse for the light-based technological sensors used in most wearables. The forehead, however, has much thinner skin that allows for better penetration by light sensors.

With the data it receives, the Moov HR can communicate with Moov's app to give users accurate information about their workouts.
Trend Themes
1. Heart Rate Monitoring - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop new wearables that utilize more accurate heart rate monitoring technology.
2. Wearable Fitness Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create advanced fitness wearables that go beyond basic heart rate monitoring and offer additional features such as sleep tracking or stress management.
3. Optical Sensors - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Explore new applications for optical sensors in healthcare and wellness industries beyond heart rate monitoring, such as monitoring blood oxygen levels or tracking hydration levels.
Industry Implications
1. Fitness Wearables - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop a new line of fitness wearables that offer more accurate heart rate monitoring capabilities, providing users with precise workout data.
2. Healthcare Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate accurate heart rate monitoring technology into healthcare devices to improve patient monitoring and diagnostics capabilities.
3. Wellness Industry - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Design innovative wellness products that utilize precision heart rate monitoring to help individuals track their fitness progress and achieve their health goals.
