You know what they say about exercise. Not only is it great for your physical health, it’s also food for the brain. Something about increased blood flow to the cerebral mass results in great ideas. For some of us anyway.
Entrepreneur James Park, inspired by the physical demands of the Nintendo Wii, tried to come up with other ways of combining fitness and games. The process resulted in the invention of the Fitbit Tracker, a tiny gadget that clips to your clothing and, using motion sensing, keeps track of things like calories burned and sleep patterns. The information is then sent wirelessly to a base station that in turn sends the information to a website for analysis.
At first glance this might sound like another late night infomercial-type gadget, but it’s not. Fitbit, only founded in 2007, raised $2.4 million in October 2008. The Fitbit Tracker will go on sale this month for $99.
