World's First Bluetooth Heart Rate Belt

Ultra-low-power RF specialist Nordic Semiconductor and Hong Kong-headquartered Dayton Industrial, a world leading OEM/ODM of wireless monitors for global sports and fitness consumer brands, present the world's first production-ready Bluetooth low-energy heart rate (HR) chest belt that is ready to go into volume production. Now, anyone who owns a smartphone with Bluetooth version 4.0 will be able to set up and use a wireless HR belt within seconds. This technology spurs the development of a whole new range of Bluetooth low-energy-based health and fitness apps that could include new ways of collecting, interpreting, and displaying HR training data, including motivational social media-based data and progress sharing.
The nRF8001's class-leading ultra-low-power performance and size will enable the Dayton Bluetooth low-energy HR belt to run for up to 1.5 years from a CR2032 coin cell under typical usage conditions (1 hour/day) while featuring an extremely slim (1.1 cm thick) and compact (3.8 x 6.5 cm) plastic sensor housing that supports a soft fabric finished belt product weighing just 46 g (less than the weight of two AA batteries).
"This is not only the first Bluetooth low-energy product we have developed but also the slimmest wireless HR belt we have ever produced," comments Johnson Chan, Product Engineering Manager, Dayton Industrial.
