AIO smart sleeve
If keeping track of your heart’s activity when you’re active is of prime importance, this sleeve’s for you. The AIO smart sleeve is a wearable ECG fitness sleeve. Unlike fitness trackers, it uses electrocardiogram technology to monitor heart rate by analyzing the electrical activity produced by the heart as it beats. It’s the same method used in medicine and is the most accurate. This sleeve measures your heart’s activity and HRV for longer periods of time and can provide in-depth analysis. Just connect the AIO device to your smartphone via Bluetooth and place it under the sleeve. You’ll also get reports on steps, distance, MET values, and sleep.

Hexoskin smart shirts
Hexokin’s smart shirts are similar to the AIO smart sleeve. They use a device and app to monitor cardiac, respiratory, rest, and activity data using ECG technology. Track your sleep and breathing volume as well as your activity. An interesting feature for those who like to train hard is this product’s ability to help you avoid burn out. It records Heart Rate Variability or HRV which is a measure of your stress and training fatigue, to avoid going overboard.
