The Biostrap is a full body fitness tracker that pairs a wrist-worn tracker with a shoe pod sensor. The wristband counts your steps, monitors your sleep, tracks your resting heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation.

Have I Been Sold?

After having tested this device for a week, I have requested a refund and am waiting for feedback from the team. So far, nothing, and it all reeks of a scam. Here's why: https://www.reddit.com/r/Biostra... If you somehow end up here, please do not buy this product. It is a ripoff, and performs well below the minimum bar set by almost every other device out there.

Be wary....even when they have a defective product they still will charge you the 25.00 restocking fee. I received a defective sensor and was not credited back my restocking fee even though it was their issue.

So, obligatory stupid question - How is this different than a Fitbit?

@thuy_larry Great question! As you can imagine, we get that question a lot. We believe Fitbit (and most wearables today) got it all wrong. It’s not about steps -- or even just heart rate. There’s so much rich data embedded in your pulse waveform than what the current market is taking advantage of. Biostrap differs by: Deep biometric insights. That’s a fancy word for recording your raw pulse wave and capturing it to extract interesting features from it. Btw, Fitbit (and 99% other wearables) simply count beats. Activity classification. That means recognizing and give you metrics about your exercises: bench press, squats, pulldowns, you name it. We use two devices to make that detection even more precise. One for your wristband to measure hand movement and one on your shoe to measure feet movement. Our ultimate goal is to help people understand their health at a 30,000ft view and make decisions that truly impact their health. Just counting steps doesn't cut it. 🙃

How large was the beta test group? And how did you find the users?

@jjstidd We had a small group of about 50 people. Most of them were close friends and family and some individuals that reached out to us early this year. All the feedback we received from our from our initial beta testers was crucial. We want to continue this feedback loop with all our customers to keep improving as a product.

@sameerkat Got it. How many of the updates going forward will be crowd sourced? Is there a clear vision for where you want to take it next? More devices, API, Ect.

@jjstidd API access is definitely on the roadmap as we see lots of interest in accessing this data. We'll also be looking at add more devices to our platform in the future. :)

One thing though- I didn’t see anything about an API. Will we have access to it?

@pixelfires It's a feature we're commonly asked for (especially amongst the quantified-self crowd). I'm a developer myself, so I'm definitely getting it on our roadmap sooner than later. :)

@kevinosuna1989 Hey Kevin! The multi-device nature of our system is very unique and allows us to track multiple body parts simultaneously. This, coupled with machine learning, allows us to know what movements are being performed. We also look at health from a top-down perspective -- total health, so to speak. It's beyond heart rate and steps. Biometrics we focus on are Resting Heart Rate, HRV, Spo2 and more.
