Episode notes

In this episode, Elias Arjan and I talk about the new edition of the Biostrap, the BiostrapEVO.

I've now been using Biostrap EVO for over a month and I have to say I'm pretty impressed with the quality of the data I am getting.

The BiostrapEVO along with the Shoe pod and external Heart Rate Monitor together provide one of the most advanced wearable health, activity and sleep-tracking devices on the market. The Biostrap EVO enables you to get deeper insights about your body at various points in time by providing clinical-grade data. I'm really impressed with the detailed and highly accurate data readings, exercise tracking, and recovery recommendations based on exercise, exertion, sleep quality and recovery.

Another great feature of Biostrap is the heart rate monitor that provides heart rate variability, blood oxygen saturation and respiratory rate monitoring. With the upcoming release of the Heart Lab - a new feature, Biostrap EVO customers will also be able to assess and track a relatively new metric: arterial age.

Listen in to the episode and discover the powerful pros of Biostrap that health hackers find game-changing. This is the first of a two-part series - in part two I talk to Kevin Longoria, Chief Science Officer at Biostrap.
