Wearable devices for health and fitness have been on the horizon for quite some time, but Polar Balance is a new weight management service that's being introduced at CES 2016 that delivers information with an emphasis on personalization.
The comprehensive service begins with the use of Polar's Polar Balance Bluetooth Smart scale and wearable activity tracker. From there, users are able to tap into the Polar Flow app or the brand's web service in order to get intuitive feedback on their weight goals. In addition to noting a user's activity and weight, the service provides encouragement and tips related to one's specific wellness goals. For instance, Polar Balance might suggest that a user lower their daily caloric intake or increase their activities. By setting personalized goals, users have a clear plan for achieving and maintaining health goals.
