Fitness is about more than what you’re doing at the gym. It’s also about sleep, nutrition and the things that your body is doing while you’re away from the gym. Firstbeat Technologies studies heart rate and heart-rate variability to develop technology that can be used in products to customize health and fitness recommendations, such as whether someone needs more sleep or if they can handle more-intense workouts.
Firstbeat technology will be used in fitness watches being released later this year by Suunto and Garmin.
