People in general are concerned about their health and fitness. There are various ways by which one can lead a healthy lifestyle every day.

But what most people overlook is monitoring the finer aspects of health on a daily basis. There are various factors like body's heart rate, sleeping patterns, Body Mass Index, Body Mass ratio, Bone Density, Muscle Ratio, Body water content, Visceral fat, Body type etc. whose monitoring is extremely critical and relevant for one to lead a wholesome healthy life.

Lenovo Smart Band Models HW01 plus come equipped with PAI:
PAI is Personal Activity Intelligence. Rather than just using steps, PAI’s revolutionary algorithm makes sense of your personal heart rate data, giving you a simple number that shows how much activity you need to live a longer, healthier life.

Dr Wisloff – a pioneer in health and exercise research, created the PAI system from the HUNT study, one of the world’s largest health studies involving more than 45,000 people over 25 years. From its research, he was able to show how much exercise people personally needed to stay healthy. By focusing on quality exercise, such as moderate-to-high intensity exercise, he found that people who kept their PAI score above 100 were more likely to live longer and stay healthier.

We strive to become a consumer-friendly and interactive eCommerce Platform providing the best in technology gadgets for health monitoring and wellness at affordable rates.
