Pittsburgh, PA, June 7, 2007 - BodyMedia, Inc., the pioneer in metabolic assessment and behavioral therapy solutions, announced today it has released version 6.1 of the SenseWear® software for its clinical customers and their patients.
The SenseWear® 6.1 software is compatible with the SenseWear® wearable display device and has improved proprietary algorithms that report accurate metabolic metrics. This solution enables patients to keep track of their health data such as calories burned, physical activity, and sleep so health professionals can objectively monitor adherence to their behavioral prescriptions. Patients and their physicians use SenseWear® to identify the behaviors that best promote increased activity, weight loss, and healthy living - ultimately lowering the risks associated with their chronic conditions. The SenseWear® wearable display device shows the patients’ real-time health metrics, making this essential lifestyle data constantly accessible to the patient and a motivating factor in their busy lives.
“Healthcare professionals and many of their patients acknowledge the need to improve and sustain exercise and eating behaviors,” said Tom Futch, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for BodyMedia. “BodyMedia provides the tools necessary for patients and practitioners to realize success in behavior therapy. The latest enhancement to SenseWear® software 6.1 and the addition of the SenseWear® wearable display device represent an important step in our solutions’ ability to help health professionals assess, motivate, and educate patients suffering from metabolic disorders as a result of poor lifestyle habits.”
