As previously reported, AmpStrip is a thin, sensor-filled waterproof device that monitors heart rate and activity around the clock with accuracy – all within a device as discrete and comfortable as a Band-Aid®. Using hypoallergenic, medical-grade adhesives, it sticks to the user’s torso to automatically track heart rate, activity, respiration, skin temperature and posture; not only during workouts but also during rest, recovery and sleep. The data is wirelessly streamed to a mobile app either in real-time or at the next connection, storing memory between as needed.

President and CEO of FitLinxx, Dave Monahan stated, “We’re thrilled by all the excitement surrounding AmpStrip. There was a need in the marketplace for a heart rate and activity monitor that truly enhanced the wearers’ experience. AmpStrip offers a smarter, more discrete, more comfortable and more accurate solution so athletes can make better training decisions during each workout, when planning for the next workout and in evaluating fitness level over time.”
