The Activity Monitor can measure all the movements you make. These measurements are combined with your age, gender, height and weight, and then converted to the calories you burn in each activity. Whether you wear it in your pocket, as a necklace or on your belt, it doesn't get in the way. The Activity Monitor is waterproof so you can take it with you while you swim. The indicator lights on the side start each day showing zero activity, indicated by a single green light. Each additional green light brings you 15% closer to your daily 100% activity target.

Description:
The Zeo headband uses a patent-pending SoftWave™ sensor technology to accurately and safely measure your unique sleep patterns through the electrical signals naturally produced by the brain. As you pass through different levels of sleep - lighter to deeper and back again - the Zeo Headband tracks how you are sleeping. The Zeo Bedside Display puts last night's sleep data at your fingertips and will store up to two weeks of data for easy viewing. When you wake up, it gives you a personal sleep score - your ZQ - and shows a graph of your Light, Deep and REM sleep over the course of the night. The bedside display will also present you with information about last night's sleep and how it compares to previous nights. The Zeo Bedside Display allows you to store your sleep information on an SD memory card (like the memory cards used with digital cameras). With your SD card and its USB adapter, you can easily upload all of your sleep information to the myZeo Personal Coaching website, and begin to spot trends in your sleep that you have never been able to see before.
