Basis believes that all of the data in the world does you no good if you can’t act on it. This is what makes Basis different. Basis goes beyond just data capture. It analyzes all of your data and suggests small steps in your daily routine to help you create powerful, healthy habits.
Basis Band Description
As mentioned, Basis uses heart rate in several important ways that distinguishes us from other trackers on the market:
1. Advanced sleep analysis. Basis uses heart rate to track your REM Sleep, Deep Sleep and Light Sleep – the only health tracker that detects these important sleep phases. This is possible with the low movement and dark conditions while you sleep.
2. Stress management. You can use your Basis band to see how your body reacts to certain situations – like a stressful meeting. You just need to ensure you are still for the best reading.
3. Cardiovascular health. Basis automatically provides resting heart rate each day to allow you to see your overall cardiovascular health as well as changes. Athletes can also look at their changes in their resting heart rate to ensure proper recovery after training.
4. Caloric burn calculations. Heart rate is also incorporated into the caloric burn calculations (when the signal is available) to ensure you get proper credit for your activities.
