Intelligent Body Monitors

The InBody Band Features More Functions Than Typical Fitness Wearables

— January 5, 2015 — Tech
South Korean company InBody introduced its 'InBody Band' at CES 2015. Like most fitness wearables, the InBody Band is able to track distances, calories and activities, along with sleep patterns. What sets it apart, however, is its ability to measure fat mass, muscle mass, body fat percentages and body mass index. All of this information is readily available by simply placing two fingers on the band's sensors.

The device is water-resistant and comes equipped with a healthy battery life (it can last up to eight days without having to charge). A micro-USB port is located behind a cover on the side of the InBody Band, meaning users don't need a separate dongle to charge it.

InBody is also introducing a cheaper, simpler band, titled the InLab, which lacks many of the InBody Band's capabilities and screen.





Trend Themes
1. Smart Body Monitoring - The InBody Band's ability to measure fat mass, muscle mass, body fat percentages, and body mass index sets it apart as a leader in smart body monitoring technology.
2. Comprehensive Fitness Tracking - The InBody Band's ability to track distances, calories, activities, sleep patterns, and provide detailed body composition analysis allows for comprehensive fitness tracking.
3. Convenient Charging Options - The InBody Band's micro-USB port located behind a cover on the side eliminates the need for a separate dongle, providing a convenient charging solution.
Industry Implications
1. Fitness Wearables - The InBody Band's advanced body monitoring capabilities make it a disruptive innovation opportunity within the fitness wearables industry.
2. Health Tech - The InBody Band's comprehensive fitness tracking features, including body composition analysis, create opportunities for disruptive innovation within the health tech industry.
3. Wearable Technology - The InBody Band's smart body monitoring and convenient charging options contribute to the disruptive potential within the wearable technology industry.
