BioTrainer is a medical technology device designed to measure an individual’s “daily lifestyle activity.” When worn each day, BioTrainer sophisticatedly measures the level of activities performed and the amount of calories burned. Developed by the National Institutes of Health, BioTrainer has a history of extensive research, and also provides users with a supportive online resource.
The BioTrainer Philosophy
BioTrainer developers assert that an overall lack of physical activity is one of the major contributing factors of the rise in obesity rates in the United States. According to BioTrainer, over 60% of American adults do not receive enough daily physical exercise to obtain healthy benefits. As obesity is a growing epidemic, BioTrainer believes that providing individuals with affordable technology to track and record weight loss progress will help promote and increase physical activity, while also promoting healthier lifestyle practices.
How does it Work?
BioTrainer measures both the body’s vertical and horizontal acceleration in order to calculate the caloric burn during physical activity. The device adjusts the amount of calories burned during activities to correlate with an individual’s selected body weight.
BioTrainer is approximately the size of a small pager, and is intended to be worn on one’s waistband; however, the device can also be worn or clipped to other articles of clothing or parts of the body. Since the BioTrainer device has an LCD display, users are able to view the amount of calories burned in real-time. In addition, the computer software resources also provide users with online tools for a more detailed and enhanced analysis of one’s results.
Research and Technology Support
BioTrainer has been developed with extensive scientific research, and even incorporates the same form of precision motion sensors that were used to monitor NASA astronauts during space flight.
In addition, BioTrainer was developed based on research and studies supported by:
- National Institutes of Health
- John Hopkins Medical School
- The Cooper Institute for Aerobic Research
The Online Monitoring Program
BioTrainer claims that their online monitoring program is the only resource in the world that can tell whether or not an individual has gained or lost weight. The online program calculates both metabolic caloric burn and physical activity, so the advanced methods of tracking aim to boost motivation and help keep dieters on a healthier path.
