Is this another fitness watch or something more like a wrist-based monitor a la BodyMedia's SenseWear Armband? Pulse Tracer will soon be releasing their Basis, a watch monitor that packs in a bunch of sensors that monitor not just movement but heart rate, temperature and skin response.The company recently announced the raising of $9 million in funding from Norwest Venture Partners and DCM. Can't wait to get this one in the lab to compare to the Armband.
Announced features and sensors:
- Price $199
- Accelerometer (presumably triaxial)
- Galvanic skin response
- Skin temperature
- Optical blood flow
- Online tools to manage and analyze (and share) data. Think mini PHR/EHR
