Myzone launches bluetooth-enabled version of tracking system
A bluetooth-enabled version of Myzone’s heart-rate tracking belt is launching this month (March), along with a new mobile app.
The company’s tracking systems transmit exercise intensity data in real time and online, and the new device – MZ-3 – allows users to upload exercise data to the cloud via a smartphone.
The Myzone system can be used without being a physical member of a club, and MZ-3 also integrates with most third party apps such as Strava and MapMyFitness as well as other ANT+ devices like Garmin.
Myzone said its new app aimed to offer an improved interactive user experience.
MZ-3 is being showcased at IHRSA 2015, in Los Angeles, and was also displayed at London’s Wearable Technology Show 2015, held between 10-11 March.
Among its benefits, the MYZONE platform offers a points system to measure physical activity intensity, live displays and goal tracking to reward effort through gamification, social media integration, and analytics reports.
