Fashionable Fitness Wear Many of our patients have been paying attention to the surge in electronic products and Smartphone apps that have the ability to track vital signs like changes in body temperature or healthy living habits like portion control goals or calories burned. Now that this sort of technology is readily available, it has been interesting to see some specific trends emerge. Some of these devices are marked for women, some men. When the Withings Activité, a brand new high tech wearable device, came to our attention we wanted to share it with our friends ASAP. A French electronics company called Withings makes this fitness tracker so that it looks like a beautiful analog watch with a classy leather wrist strap that wearers can quickly switch out for a plastic strap as desired for swimming. “It has a Bluetooth chip and a built-in accelerometer that tracks the wearer’s steps taken, distance traveled, calories burned, as well as the user’s sleep patterns. The watch is made of stainless steel and the watch face is made of unbreakable sapphire glass with touch screen capabilities. Are you a fan of using a personal fitness tracker to help you monitor your rehabilitation goals? Would having a device that looks good in the boardroom and performs in the gym encourage you to use wearable fitness-tracking technology more often or for the first time? Let us know. ow.ly/z9oft
