Optima-life gets to the Heart of the Matter
Firstbeat Bodyguard, a new heart rate recording device, smaller than a match box and with the capacity to record continuous data for up to 5 days, is now available in the UK, exclusively through Optima-life.
This new styled measuring device is a major advance in heart rate technology. It provides professionals working in health and sport with a highly accurate measuring tool that is user friendly for practitioner and patient alike.
Simon Shepard, CEO of Optima-life said:
'Recording heart beat data can sometimes be frustrating when the results have measurement errors and breaks in data. The increased measurement capacity of Firstbeat Bodyguard makes it much easier to obtain highly accurate measurements of heart rate and R-R interval data and allows more in depth data analysis.
'You can download data by attaching the Bodyguard cable to a computer USB port. The same cable also recharges the battery which makes it all very easy to use'.
Traditional heart rate monitors can sometimes be uncomfortable and restrictive, particularly at night. Firstbeat Bodyguard is lightweight and unobtrusive and its unique design means there are just two contact points on the skin. This minimises skin irritation and removes pressure around the chest area, which results in high quality recordings both day and night.
The Firstbeat Bodyguard is available in the UK through Optima-life www.optima-life.com,
