Amiigo Is a Smart Wearable Sensor That Knows What Activity You're Doing

Wearable sensors or fitness-tracking bracelets, such as the Nike+ FuelBand or Fitbit Flex, are starting to go mainstream. But now, there's a new competitor in town — the Amiigo.

The team of entrepreneurs behind this new wristband claims their product is better than the others because it can automatically tell what kind of exercise you're performing. Amiigo will also be able to differentiate more than 100 exercises, track your movements and collect a number of physiological metrics like heart rate and blood oxygen levels.

"Amiigo provides a more personalized fitness tracking experience because we can detect exactly what you are doing and how your body is responding," the group states in their Indiegogo campaign.

Amiigo offers two sensors, a wristband and a shoe clip. They both collect data independently and users won't need both to track their fitness activity, although using them together will increase accuracy. One collects data from upper body activity, while the other focuses on the lower body.
