Our Pedometer app is usually portable and electro-mechanical, that counts each step a person takes by detecting the motion of the person's hands or hips. Our applications automatically determine how a person's step varies. Distance traveled (by walking) can be measured directly by GPS systems. Best use for every person, sports and physical fitness enthusiasts.
Pedometer is a motivation tool for people wanting to increase their physical activity. This app allow people to track their progress; however, many will also find entering their daily step count and a heart-beat count onto a calendar to be motivational as well. Pedometers have been shown in clinical studies to increase physical activity, and reduce blood pressure levels and Body Mass Index. A study published in the Journal of The American Medical Association concluded, “The results suggest that the use of a pedometer is associated with significant increases in physical activity and significant decreases in body mass index and blood pressure.”
Features:
• Technology: The technology for a pedometer includes a mechanical sensor and software to count steps. Our advanced step counters rely on MEMS inertial sensors and sophisticated software to detect steps. These MEMS sensors have either 1-, 2- or 3-axis detection of acceleration. The use of MEMS inertial sensors permits more accurate detection of steps and fewer false positives. The software technology used to interpret the output of the inertial sensor and "make sense of accurate steps" varies widely.
• Accuracy: The accuracy of step counters varies widely between devices. Typically, step counters are reasonably accurate at a walking pace on a flat surface if the device is placed in its optimal position. Accuracy of distance measurement also depends on the user entered step-length.
