Meet the OM Smartwear: clothing that tracks your health and fitness. OMsignal’s new collection of Biometric Smartwear comprises four smart shirts for men. OM shirts monitor your activity, stress, and fitness levels. The shirts have health sensors embedded into their fabric to measure your biometric data in real-time.
The OM app receives your bio-data and shows you how your body is doing and how you can improve your health. These shirts will be available in 4 styles (under-shirt, sleeveless shirt, casual T-shirt and long-sleeved shirt). They will track your heart rate, breathing rate, breathing volume, movement (including steps and cadence), movement intensity, heart rate variability, and calories burned. You also get sports-specific data, including effort expended and breathing rate, heart rate zone tracking, heart rate recovery, breathing balance, personal fuel, and RPM.
The data these shirts gather are transferred to your phone to the OMsignal iOS app from the little black box (via Bluetooth). The little black box continually collects data and can go for up to 3 days or up to 30 training sessions before recharging. It is water resistant.
You can get the Regular Routine Kit for $269 while the Fitness Fanatic Kit costs $359. The Up & Running Kit costs $240 but you can pre-order for $199. The product will ship in Summer 2014.
