Wearable technology is nothing new but a sports bra that can track your fitness activity takes smart wristbands to a whole new level – and could be worth splashing your Christmas cash on (if you’ve got any left).
The clever little bra in question, called the OMbra, records your biometrics and streams them to your phone – letting you know exactly how beneficial your workout was by measuring metrics such as distance, heart rate and calories.
Available in a number of styles, the sports bra will launch this spring. [Photo: OMsignal]
A gauge also measures cumulative fatigue, by keeping an eye on your state of rest before, during and after a workout using heart rate (HR), heart rate variability (HRV) and breathing.
“Most technologies only use HR to estimate a state of fatigue,” said OMsignal, the company behind the bra. “Few technologies, like OMsignal, can also measure HRV. Only OMsignal adds an additional layer of accuracy by factoring in your breathing, a biometric that can vary (relatively) just as much as your heart rate when exerting yourself.”
