Intended Use
The system records and analyzes physiological parameters, and uses algorithms
to report daily movement, calories burned, degree of physical activity, and steps
taken. These objective health metrics facilitate maintenance of a healthy weight and
an active lifestyle, and in conjunction with a balanced diet can result in a favorable
influence on overall health. Maintaining a healthy weight, balanced diet and active
lifestyle are routinely cited as key to combating and managing serious medical
conditions including obesity, cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The information
presented by the system can be used by a physician or healthcare practitioner and
may aid the assessment and medical management of conditions influenced by
weight and activity.
