We’ve already covered a few wearable fitness devices that measure the physical activity of users throughout their day, but what separates from other monitors Gruver is the real-time feedback it supplies. The device has an indicator light that changes color according to how much energy the wearer is burning over the course of a day, and it vibrates if the user has been inactive for too long: a polite reminder that it is time to get moving.
Developed in cooperation with Mayo Clinic, Gruver keeps track of the user’s metabolic progress against his or her pre-measured metabolism. The information collected is then synced to the Gruver Online website, giving users the ability to view their daily calorie burn and weight loss progress. Gruver is priced at USD 199.95, which include a one-year subscription to Gruver Online.
Gruver’s targeted customer base is corporations looking to reduce their insurance premiums and employee healthcare costs by improving the health of what are often Increasingly sedentary employees. It’s a savvy strategy: the U.S. Department of Health estimates that the annual obesity cost to American companies Exceeds USD 120 billion. The health market should be on every entrepreneur’s watch list. Tracking and activity-based weight management products in particular are proving to be a growth market, with lots of room for regional distribution and adaptation
