Bodytrak is touted as the first device capable of implementing “precision physiological monitoring” using a simple earpiece. The small, non-invasive in-ear device can measure metrics such as core body temperature, heart rate, VO2 and motion (speed, distance, cadence). The data is then sent wirelessly to the user in real time via a smartphone, smart watch or internet hub.
With access to the inner ear – and so being in close proximity to the brain – Bodytrak has been designed to detect changes in body physiology more rapidly and accurately than devices measuring levels from the peripheries of the body.
By using miniature components, it also offers two-way communication, music playback and ambient sound transparency.
CEO Leon Marsh says the device has relevance for a number of sectors – such as military, healthcare and first response – but sport and fitness are among its key target markets. The first Bodytrak units are currently being trialled by a range of high-profile athletes across a number of sports.
“Bodytrak exploits the only body site from which all vital signs can be measured,” says Marsh. “It’s been gold standard tested by leading universities, and we have trial partners across all target markets.”
Bodytrak is expected to be available to the public in summer 2017.
