New Software Improves Assessment of Metabolic and Sleep Behavior



PITTSBURGH, May 1 /- BodyMedia, Inc., the pioneer in metabolic assessment and behavioral therapy solutions, announced today it has launched version 6.0 of the SenseWear® software to its customers.

Used in conjunction with the SenseWear® armband, the SenseWear® software 6.0, allows clinical professionals to see more accurate and comprehensive reports of their patients' total caloric burn, duration of physical activity, sleep duration, and sleep efficiency. In addition to improved accuracy, SenseWear® 6.0 will allow physicians to keep track of key health indicators of their patients including blood pressure, weight, and blood glucose.

"Our customers are well aware that increased physical activity and proper sleep play an important role in the regulation of body weight, as well as the prevention and treatment of metabolic disorders," said Tom Futch, vice president of sales and marketing for BodyMedia. "SenseWear is fast becoming the solution of choice for metabolic and behavior assessment among medical practices.
