LG has unveiled the company’s new technology called HRM Earphone Heart Rate Monitor that will track metabolic rate and maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) while you listen to your favorite tunes, and the Lifeband Touch activity tracker that works in concert with it. The earphones continuously monitor distance, calories, steps taken, 3-axis accelerometer direction of movement, while also providing the user with high quality audio (aptX system) and featuring a built-in mic. The HRM Earphones are connected to a small medallion device that processes data and passes it on via Bluetooth to the user’s LG Fitness App on their smartphone. This info can also be transferred onto an LG Lifeband Touch Activity Tracker, a watch-like device equipped with an OLED panel that provides at-a-glance view of incoming calls, the time, music controls, and real-time biometric data being collected.
