"Our center, which studies and treats obesity and alimentary behavior diseases, is finding many benefits in using the SenseWear Armband for optimizing the therapeutic path we apply in rehabilitating these subjects. The nutritional chronobiological analysis of energy expenditure, the assessment of spontaneous and programmed physical activity, and the follow-up of these parameters were, in fact, difficult to evaluate before we acquired the Armband system."

"As part of an industrial safety study, we have found BodyMedia personnel to be professional and experts in their craft. Their products functioned effectively in various manufacturing environments."

John Jakicic, Ph.D.

"The technology being developed by BodyMedia is state-of-the-art. It provides the opportunity to finally have a technique to accurately assess free-living energy expenditure."

David Kupfer, M.D.

Chief of Behavioral Medicine & Medical Director

"BodyMedia's technology will help us move our research out of the laboratory and into the community. SenseWear will give us the ability to get information from study participants we could previously get only in a lab."

"The lifestyle changes targeted toward increasing daily energy expenditure is one of the cornerstones of obesity treatment... Several recent papers suggested that the Sensewear Armband is an acceptable device to accurately measure energy expenditure. This information would be useful in counseling patients regarding appropriate energy expenditure during weight loss programs and improving daily physical activity."

"My subjects like the Armband because they don't really notice they are wearing it. It's an exciting technology that combines physiological and activity monitoring information."

"I highly recommend the SenseWear system to researchers and clinical health professionals interested in assessing physical activity under free living conditions – participants will find the monitors comfortable to wear, and researchers will find the software has valuable features to facilitate data processing. The Armband automatically tracks wear time and the algorithms are continually improved over time."

"We believe that the data streams obtained from the Armband can be analyzed to reveal a strong correlation between worker/workplace performance."
