SMHEART LINK - iPhone doubles as a Heart Rate Monitor and FitnessTracking System

SMHEART LINK - iPhone doubles as a Heart Rate Monitor and Fitness Tracking System. iTMP Technology, Inc., a pioneering iPhone hardware and software developer, announces the commercial launch of SMHEART LINK, a highly-anticipated new technology that is poised to bring unparalleled health and fitness capabilities to Apple iPhone and iPod touch users.

For the first time ever, a technology is now available that allows the iPhone to double as a heart monitor and fitness tracking system that actually listens to a person's heart. In addition to the iPhone and iPod touch, SMHEART LINK can be compatible with other smartphones, PCs or other Wi-Fi enabled devices.

SMHEART LINK is a wireless bridge that collects data from distributed health and fitness sensors such as heart rate monitors and cycling sensors and sends it to the iPhone via Wi-Fi. iTMP’s suite of iPhone fitness apps allow users to track their fitness data on iPhone’s superior display with a user interface that raises the bar for fitness tracking devices. SMHEART LINK is compatible with a growing list of heart monitor chest straps including some from fitness leaders such as Polar, Garmin, Nike, Reebok, Timex Ironman, New Balance and Numetrex. It is also compatible with biking sensors to track speed, cadence and power (watts).

Upon completing a workout, users can effortlessly upload their data to the internet with the tap of a button. iTMP has initially partnered with New Leaf Fitness and MapMyFitness for this upload functionality and is in discussions with other potential partners as well.

iTMP has launched three iPhone fitness applications now available on the iPhone App Store:
+ iRPM+ ; Bike Computer/Heart Monitor v 2.0 is a cardio fitness system and cycling computer that works with SMHEART LINK to track any cardio exercise, anywhere. It's available as a free download for a limited time on the iPhone App Store.
+ iSPINNING ; a cardio fitness system and cycling computer that enables Spinning enthusiasts to track and record their cardio exercise anywhere - available as a demo in the AppStore.
+ iNewLeaf ; a cardio fitness system and cycling computer that allows you to incorporate unique metabolic profile data from New Leaf to more precisely track and monitor the right exercise intensity for "real results." — also available as a demo.
