  • The Spanish Ministry of Health uses this device in its national cohort of 200,000 individuals, representative of the population aged 16 to 79.

  • Peking University and other organisations in China and the USA use it to assess the CHARLS population, a nationally representative sample of 17,500 Chinese residents aged 45 and older.

  • International research groups use it in randomised clinical trials with special populations (elite athletes, people with heart disease, older adults).

  • The University of Oxford and University College London use it in validation studies against other devices and against data from our wearable camera.

  • Selected for the first international study demonstrating its use in primary care to enable more personalised exercise prescription.
