Basis Reveals An Awesome New Affordable Heart And Health Tracker You Can Wear On Your Wrist

b1-perspective_col_SM1After raising $9 million in venture funding from Norwest Venture Partners and Doll Capital Management earlier this year, Basis Science has been able to continue their year-long research and design development of a new affordable heart and health monitor that can be worn all the live-long day right on your wrist. In anticipation of its showcase at Health 2.0, the startup is today revealing the design and features of its so-called "B1 Basis Band" that will launch in the market later this year. While there are a number of health-tracking devices on the market today, the Basis Band seems poised to be a disruptive product in the health space. Priced at $199, the Band is on the expensive side but not unreasonable considering the heart and health tracker boasts multiple sensors that measure heart rate continuously, along with calories burned, sleep patterns, and other physiological metrics. What's more, the device boasts an LCD touchscreen interface that allows for easy navigation and displays the date and time -- potentially making it a pretty great replacement for your measly old wrist watch.
