Azumio Launches New Argus, The First All-In-One Health And Fitness App

PALO ALTO, Calif., Sept. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Azumio today launched the new Argus, an all-in-one health and fitness app that helps people quantify and conquer their lifestyle goals. Featuring video guided workouts, a heart rate monitor, pedometer, sleep tracker and social community, Argus gives people all the data, coaching and camaraderie they need to do more and live healthier.

A leader in mobile health and fitness technology, Azumio's Argus unites its lineup of apps into one flagship platform. Unlike typical apps that focus on a single lifestyle challenge, Argus provides a holistic system designed to improve all dimensions of health. Argus maximizes the full potential of smartphones as a stand-alone app and seamlessly integrates data from many existing wearable devices. Whether the goal is fit into a wedding dress, run a 10K, keep up with active kids or sleep better, Argus can track and contextualize all the data that matters.

Because Argus combines so many different health tools, the app functions like a supportive personal coach. Argus includes several features that set it apart from other apps on the market:

• Biometrics. Measure your heart rate using the smartphone camera with the built-in Instant Heart Rate technology. Place a finger on your smartphone camera to take heart rate readings or run the Standup Test, a measure of fatigue that can prevent overtraining and injury. Use Sleep Time alarm clock technology to wake up during your lightest sleep cycle and measure the quality of your sleep.
• Guided Workouts. Choose your goal (strength, cardio or flexibility), body parts and time limit, and Argus will create a custom home workout complete with video instruction and voice cues.
• GPS + Pedometer. Do more. Start your hike, bike or run with the built-in GPS and pedometer to map your journey and achieve your fitness goals.
• Social Community. Challenge friends and family to see who can take the most steps. Share your activity and results to keep motivated and inspire your community.
• Set and Visualize Goals. Choose how much water to drink, sleep to get and steps to take. See charts and trends of how your lifestyle improves over time.

"At Azumio, our mission is to help people achieve their healthiest and happiest selves, and we believe that Argus can ignite that spark of motivation that lies within everyone," said Bojan Bernard Bostjancic, CEO, "Through Argus, we aim to transcend technology and become the world's first social community for healthy living. This is a platform designed for all people and all goals."

Argus is available as a free service on mobile and web with paid features that include long-term workout plans, additional biometrics, ad-free use, and audio cues for GPS activities. The app is available on iOS and Android. Learn more at Azumio.
