Fitness & Health Demo

Holiday Season is right around the corner, and you know what that means- family, friends, food, and those stubborn extra pounds that magically appear. The Fitness and Health industry has skyrocketed in the Silicon Valley area. From heart rate monitor trackers, to calorie counters, and even exercise routine apps, there is something out there for everyone. It is estimated today that, “wearable technology is a $700 million industry in the form of sports and activity trackers.” Looking at the future it is not something that is slowing down anytime soon. By 2016, “worldwide spending on wearable technology will reach $1.4 billion” and in 2014, “wearable device shipment volumes will reach 19 million units… [growing] to 111.9 million in 2018.”

Tech in Motion (http://www.techinmotionevents.com/) Silicon Valley is excited to host this fun, interactive and informative demo with companies who are paving the way for a healthier and longer future. If you are someone who is just getting started, a fitness guru, or even a wearable junkie, make sure to check out this event!

Companies:

Lumo BodyTech (http://www.lumobodytech.com/) takes a fresh new approach for closing the gap where tech meets fashion. Their Lumo Lift and Lumo Back posture and activity trackers, which encourage people to stand tall and move more, have recently received notable coverage in outlets such as the Wall Street Journal, Oprah Magazine, and ABC News. Lumo is backed by Madrona Ventures, Eric Schmidt's Innovation Endeavors, and Jerry Yang's AME Cloud Ventures.

About the Product: Stand tall and move more with Lumo BodyTech’s posture and activity tracker the Lumo Lift. The Lift, worn as a tiny magnetic clasp on your upper body, tracks your body positions, gently vibrates when you slouch, counts steps, calories, and mileage, and encourages small habit changes that add up to a big impact on your overall health.
