Hello, ProductHunters! 😻 Thank you so much for hunting and helping us beta test our product, @hnshah! Biostrap was born out of a desire to deliver a consumer wearable dedicated to providing insights geared towards total health. Some of our clear differentiators include: 1. Full-body tracking. By placing sensors on both your wrist and shoe, we're able to get a complete picture of your exercises and provide meaningful metrics (such as reps, duration, consistency). We auto-recognize cardio movements, and you can train any repetitive exercise that isn't in our library once, and we'll automatically recognize it whenever you perform it. Let's say you want to work your glutes and you're doing Side-Lying Leg Lifts. You can train it once and we'll auto-recognize and it for you in the future. We like to think about it like Shazam for your body movements. 2. Deep biometric insights. When it comes to biometrics, most trackers today only do heart beat counting. We take an entirely different approach -- We use a clinical quality pulse oximeter to capture raw high-fidelity waveforms. This allows us to extract even more meaningful data from your pulse, like HRV, Oxygen Saturation, and Respiratory Rate. We're extremely excited to be a part of this community! We are offering all Product Hunters worldwide free shipping! Just put the code "HappyHunting" at checkout to get it. Let us know what you think, and what features you would like to see from us.

So, obligatory stupid question - How is this different than a Fitbit?

@thuy_larry Great question! As you can imagine, we get that question a lot. We believe Fitbit (and most wearables today) got it all wrong. It’s not about steps -- or even just heart rate. There’s so much rich data embedded in your pulse waveform than what the current market is taking advantage of. Biostrap differs by: Deep biometric insights. That’s a fancy word for recording your raw pulse wave and capturing it to extract interesting features from it. Btw, Fitbit (and 99% other wearables) simply count beats. Activity classification. That means recognizing and give you metrics about your exercises: bench press, squats, pulldowns, you name it. We use two devices to make that detection even more precise. One for your wristband to measure hand movement and one on your shoe to measure feet movement. Our ultimate goal is to help people understand their health at a 30,000ft view and make decisions that truly impact their health. Just counting steps doesn't cut it. 🙃

Biostrap is the new kid on the block when it comes to wearables. They have two devices, one for your wrist and one for your shoes. As a result their devices (along with some machine learning magic) they claim to track a more comprehensive set of data than the usual suspects in the market currently.
