Purpose of the System Intended Use The system records and analyzes physiological parameters, and uses algorithms to report daily movement, calories burned, degree of physical activity, and steps taken. These objective health metrics facilitate main- tenance of a healthy weight and an active lifestyle, and in conjunction with a balanced diet can result in a favorable influence on overall health.
The SenseWear system components include the Armband and the optional Display device. The Armband collects data through sensors to analyze physiological and lifestyle data. The Display shows up-to-the-minute user information. Armband Operating Instructions Proper Wear Wear your Armband on the back of the upper left arm (the tricep). To work properly, the Armband logo must face upward towards the shoulder and the silver sensors on the underside of the Armband will be in contact with your skin.
