Firstbeat and Valencell Collaborate to Create Meaningful User Experience in Biometric Wearables and Hearables

Apr 27, 2017 | Posted by Industry News | Health Innovation, Health IT, HIT Feed, News |

The combination of Valencell’s highly accurate biometric sensor technology and Firstbeat’s advanced physiological analytics create innovative user experiences

Valencell (@Valencell_Inc), the leading innovator in wearable and hearable biometric sensor technology, and Firstbeat (@FirstbeatInfo), the leading provider of physiological analytics for sports, fitness and wellbeing, announce a strategic collaboration to ensure Valencell’s biometric sensor systems and Firstbeat physiological analytics work seamlessly together and to explore to full potential of what can biometric wearables can achieve. Today’s market demands more insightful user experiences that use science to go beyond basic heart rate measurement to provide personalized, actionable insights on exercise, stress, sleep and recovery, among other things. These insights require highly accurate biometric sensor data and advanced analytics like those provided by Valencell and Firstbeat.

Valencell and Firstbeat each have decades of experience in research and development, validation and IP built into their respective technologies, and both pride themselves on their shared commitment to creating accurate, scientifically-validated results that their users can rely on.

“Firstbeat transforms heartbeat data into information people can actually use to live healthier, happier, more productive lives. This effort begins with the sensors that collect the biometric data that we interpret,” said Joni Kettunen, Ph.D., co-Founder/CEO of Firstbeat. “Valencell clinically validated biometric sensors are among the best in the world, which makes this a golden opportunity to explore the potential of what these technologies have to offer people.”

Independently and together, Firstbeat and Valencell technologies are already integrated into a substantial number of consumer devices from industry leading manufactures. Last year, sound solutions provider Jabra brought Valencell sensors and Firstbeat physiological analytics together, as part of the true wireless headphones Jabra Elite Sport and the wireless Jabra Sport Pulse Special Edition heart monitoring sports headphones, both of which have received strong user reviews for these features.

“Successful biometric wearables require two things above all else: highly accurate biometric data in all conditions and advanced analytics to provide meaningful insights that help people achieve their goals,” said Dr. Steven LeBoeuf, president and co-founder of Valencell. “Firstbeat’s analytics technology, when fueled by accurate biometric data, is some of the best in the world. By combining Valencell’s highly accurate biometric sensor systems with Firstbeat’s analytics, OEMs can deliver mobile health and fitness applications that provide real value to the consumer.”

Dr. Steven LeBoeuf, President & Co-Founder of Valencell Inc.  participated in a panel discussion at the  Firstbeat HRV Summit in Helsinki, Finland. The summit took place April 20-21 in Helsinki, Finland and gathered top professionals from around the world who share a common interest in changing the way physiology is used to improve health, life quality and sports performance. The 2-day program provided state-of-the-art keynotes, hands-on tests, demos and case studies for participants. The event was an opportunity for professionals to network and test the latest products and services based on HRV analysis.

Firstbeat HRV Summit was used as a platform for both companies to further discuss their collaboration as well as answer any questions on their expertise.
