BASIS Science, Inc. is the creator of the world’s first continuous heart rate and health tracker, the Basis B1 Band, featured at the 2012 International CES show in Las Vegas and showing its web-based personal dashboard for the first time. Basis Band web based personal dashboard was designed to give people information about their everyday health and wellness. Basis Science, Inc. received the CES 2012 Innovations Honorees Awards in the Health and Wellness category, along with twelve other companies.
Health-conscious individuals are always looking to make positive lifestyle changes—like getting more exercise to achieve weight loss goals, sleeping more to perform better throughout the day, or relaxing to deal with life’s challenges more effectively. Basis believes that gaining important insights into what people do during sleeping, waking, and active hours helps paint the most useful picture of their health to allow these positive changes. Measuring what people do over the course of their day is a great strategy to let them manage their health and wellness.
To bring this picture to life, Basis has created the Basis B1 Band, a new class of health and wellness device that is a sophisticated merging of sensor technologies and advanced data aggregation and analysis. These sensors track users’ lifestyles in real time and in real ways by continuously collecting key measured bio signals.
Through sophisticated algorithms, the Basis B1 Band translates these bio signals into insightful metrics on how everyday activities affect the body—whether it’s working out or working at the office, going out dancing with friends on Saturday night or sleeping in on Sunday morning.
These daily activities offer a great deal of information that the Basis B1 Band can capture and interpret through its advanced technology, providing users with that comprehensive picture.
With Basis, you can see how your heart responds to specific moments in your day. Special sensors monitor your heart rate and more to calculate the calories you burn, and how sleep patterns and activities play into your wellness.
A 3D accelerometer measures how active you are. Temperature and galvanic skin response sensors provide new insight into how your performance is impacted by events in your day. These factors in relation to your heart rate give you a very accurate picture of your wellness.
