Myzone launches MZ Switch mobile heart rate monitor

Myzone launches MZ Switch mobile heart rate monitor
April 21, 2021

10 years after it first exhibited its technology, Myzone has unveiled the MZ Switch, a new heart rate tracker that can be worn three different ways.

Joining the existing Myzone belt which sits on the sternum, the MZ Switch rate monitor can also be worn on the wrist or forearm depending on users’ choice of physical activity.

The interchangeable, waterproof heart rate monitor enables users to continue monitoring their performance when exercising outside as well as now being operational in the aquatic environments.

Described as the “world's first interchangeable heart rate monitor for the gym, outdoors or in water”, the MZ Switch system sees people collecting MEPs - exercise points - and working on their MEP rankings for motivation.

The system sees data from MZ Switch collected in real-time and used to understand work output and recovery, enabling training to develop progression and live results.

Heart rate is determined by PPG sensors which scan the microvascular system.

Myzone says huge investment has gone into ensuring readings are clinically accurate and that it has applied for patents for the new technology.

The new technology is built off the back of the existing Myzone infrastructure, enabling the company to extend its reach into the wider activity, consumer and wellness markets.
