BioBand

Complete Fitness Tracking Wearable with Heart Rate, Motion, and AI -- Integrated with MyFitnessTech

BioBand is our flagship wearable: a wrist-worn device that streams heart rate, blood oxygen, and motion data straight into MyFitnessTech. The breadboard prototype is up and running, and we're now bringing it to life on protoboard. From there, each piece gets layered in -- app pairing, custom PCB, and a 3D-printed enclosure -- until it's a device athletes can actually train with.

What it Does

  • Tracks heart rate & blood oxygen with biometric sensors
  • Counts reps automatically with motion tracking
  • Detects exercise type (push-ups, squats, bicep curls)
  • Streams real-time data into the MyFitnessTech app
  • Pairs with MyFitnessTech for AI-powered workout coaching
  • Stores workout history with cloud sync

Tech Stack

Hardware

  • ESP32 microcontroller
  • Biometric sensors
  • Motion tracking sensors
  • Custom PCB design
  • LiPo battery (8+ hours)

Software

  • MyFitnessTech app integration
  • Python ML models
  • Cloud data sync
  • Bluetooth LE protocol

SipSync

Automatic Water Consumption Tracking with Smart Hydration Insights -- Integrated with MyFitnessTech

SipSync makes hydration tracking automatic. A flow sensor mounted to your bottle measures every sip, and the data flows into MyFitnessTech where it's combined with your activity, body metrics, and local weather to set hydration targets that actually fit your day. The protoboard prototype with flow sensing and temperature reads is done -- next come the bottle-mount enclosure, app integration, and the smart hydration algorithm.

What it Does

  • Automatically tracks water intake throughout the day
  • Syncs hydration data to the MyFitnessTech mobile app
  • Adjusts daily hydration goals based on activity level
  • Factors in body weight, weather, and exercise intensity
  • Sends smart reminders when you're falling behind on intake
  • Visualizes hydration trends and patterns over time

Tech Stack

Hardware

  • Flow sensor for volume measurement
  • ESP32 microcontroller
  • Temperature sensor
  • Rechargeable LiPo battery
  • Bottle-mount enclosure (3D printed)

Software

  • MyFitnessTech app integration
  • Bluetooth LE data sync
  • Hydration algorithm (weight, activity, climate)
  • Cloud-synced hydration history

Smart Hydration Factors

SipSync doesn't just count ounces -- it considers the full picture to personalize your hydration targets

Activity Level

Pulls workout data from BioBand and MyFitnessTech to increase hydration goals on active days

Weather & Climate

Uses local weather data to adjust for temperature and humidity, so you drink more when conditions demand it

Body Metrics

Accounts for body weight and personal profile to calculate a baseline daily water target unique to you

🕐

Time-of-Day Pacing

Distributes intake goals across your waking hours and sends nudges if you're falling behind schedule

Done So Far

What's Working

  • Protoboard prototype fully assembled
  • Flow sensor measuring water volume accurately
  • Temperature reads from the ESP32 build
In The Works

What We're Building

  • Bottle-mount 3D-printed enclosure
  • Bluetooth LE sync into MyFitnessTech
  • Hydration algorithm (weight / activity / climate)
On The Horizon

What Gets Added

  • Smart reminders & hydration trend insights
  • Cross-device data with BioBand activity levels
  • User testing & a deployment-ready unit

New Project

Project Beacon

A Physical Showcase Display That Brings Our Devices and Data to Life

Beacon is our showcase piece: a physical display built to show off everything Fitness Tech makes. Wherever the club goes -- tabling, demo days, club fairs -- Beacon comes with us, putting BioBand, SipSync, and MyFitnessTech in front of people with live, real data instead of a slideshow. It grows with the club: every new device we build earns a spot on the display.

What it Is

  • A portable, purpose-built display for events and tabling
  • Showcases BioBand, SipSync, and the MyFitnessTech app side by side
  • Streams live sensor data from our devices onto the screen
  • Lets visitors try the hardware and see their own data appear in real time
  • Tells the story of each project -- from breadboard to finished device

How It Grows

  • Display and mounting hardware come first
  • Live data feed from our devices gets wired in next
  • An interactive demo mode lets visitors explore on their own
  • Project story panels get added for each device we ship
  • Every future Fitness Tech device earns its spot on Beacon

Want to help build Beacon?

Design, fabrication, and software contributors welcome -- help us show the world what Fitness Tech builds.
