NEW YORK, October 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
SPO (SPOM), a leading developer of biosensor and microprocessor technologies for use in portable monitoring devices, today announced through its partnership with MZB & Company Inc. (MZB), the launch of a new and innovative consumer wellness watch designed to measure the overall daily activity level of adults and children.
The new wellness watch branded as "Live Well by SHARP" incorporates several innovative features that include patented LED display functionality and a time-piece which continuously measures the number of daily activities, recommended steps and calories burned against preset recommended goals. This can be especially helpful for those who wish to monitor their daily activity levels without the need to use or wear additional devices. Furthermore, the attractive design is aimed at encouraging people to wear the watch at all times.
Primary customers for the watch include those who are looking to improve their daily activity levels, as well as the overweight and obese. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 100 million adults and children today in the US alone are considered to be overweight or obese; a condition defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) in excess of 30. Obesity can be a major factor for limiting lifestyle and it is estimated that by 2017, over 40% of the US population will be defined as obese. "Live Well by SHARP" is an affordable, simple-to-use, mass-market wellness watch for those individuals seeking to increase their activity levels and overall wellness.
Michael Braunold, Chief Executive Officer of SPO commented: "Through our partnership with a major market player like MZB - a world leader in the retail consumer timepiece market - the "Live Well by SHARP" watch is being manufactured and commercialized at a time when the market is actively seeking solutions to a serious problem facing society as a whole. We believe that together with MZB, we can help people improve their wellness and overall outlook on life by encouraging more daily activities."
MZB plans to leverage its unique global sourcing capabilities to enable distribution of the wellness watch around the world, while ensuring affordability yet still maintaining the highest standard of product quality and consistency. Braunold continued: "Our ability through MZB to deliver a cost-effective solution to address a serious global problem and to define ways to help improve both the standard and quality of life is exciting and challenging. We are pleased to be in a position to participate in this important initiative with MZB as our partners."
