Founded in 1999, BodyMedia, Inc. is a pioneer in developing wearable body monitoring
systems that are designed to help people lose weight, improve performance and live a
healthier lifestyle.
Healthcare is rapidly evolving from an elite profession that primarily diagnoses and treats
illness into a network of professionals, patients and consumers taking a more proactive
role in the prevention of illness by tracking and managing day-to-day behaviors. As the
urgency of global health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease
continues to grow, so too does the need for easy to use, affordable body monitoring
products.
Responding to these trends and challenges, BodyMedia has developed patented multisensor
technologies for a variety of markets -- consumers, health and fitness clubs,
corporate wellness programs, and healthcare practitioners – enabling us to deliver
validated products that monitor calories, steps, amount of physical activity, and sleep
efficiency. No other comfortable, convenient, continuous body-monitoring products can
measure physical activity and calories burned with BodyMedia’s level of accuracy, which
is more than 90%.
Over the past nine years, BodyMedia has achieved a proven track record in health and
weight management. We have been granted numerous patents by the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office for our novel use of sensors to collect physiological information. And
we’ve helped over 400,000 users monitor 10 million days of activity, burn 10 billion
calories, and track 70 billion steps.
BodyMedia’s technology and products have been featured in many national publications,
including The New York Times, Outside, Medical Device Daily, Forbes, Wired, Popular
Science, and US News & Word Report.
