Passive Tracking of Physical Activity with FitBit

Filed under: OTC , Sports Medicine

FitBit is a simple motion activated device that tracks the movement of the wearer and provides feedback about physical activity, calories expanded, and how much sleep was obtained by the user. Small enough to be strapped to one's underwear, the device records the internal accelerometer's activity for interpretation on the computer.

The company that makes the device just received $2 million to fund it and put the product on the market, according to TechCrunch.

We particularly like that the device wirelessly syncs with its base station, and keeps your status up to date on the computer.
