SMHEART LINK Turns iPhone Into Heart Monitor, Fitness Tracker

Friday, February 6th, 2009 at 2:40 PM - by Bryan Chaffin

iTMP Technology, Inc. announced Friday SMHEART LINK, a device that allows your iPhone or iPod touch to be used as a heart monitor and fitness tracker. The device is a wireless bridge that collects data from sensors, and then sends that data to your iPhone for display using an interface that has been developed for the iPhone.

The SMHEART LINK is intended to be used with heart monitor chest straps from Polar, Garmin, Nike, Reebok, Timex Ironman, New Balance and Numetrex. It also works with cycling-related sensors to track speed, cadence, and power generated.

Currently, users will be able to upload their workout data to the Internet from your iPhone for online services from New Leaf Fitness and MapMyFitness. The company said it was negotiating with other providers, as well.

  • iNewLeaf is a cardio fitness system and cycling computer that allows you to incorporate unique metabolic profile data from New Leaf to more precisely track and monitor the right exercise intensity for "real results."
