FITwave International Technologies partners with Links Modular Solutions

Fitness technology product FITwave International Technologies has established an agreement with Links Modular Solutions to expand FITwave products into the Australian and New Zealand markets that will sees the integration of FITwave’s caloric tracking and scoring product FITpas, into a variety of Links products. The integration will allow Links to provide fitness and activity tracking to approximately seven million potential Australian and New Zealand users.

FITpas Personal Activity Score is an application that provides a revolutionary means of establishing a standardised scoring system (the FITpas Score™), which tracks and systematically validates virtually all types of activity. Positioning itself as a complimentary product for healthcare organizations, health clubs, and corporate wellness programs, the FITpas Wellness Program provides Group and Corporate Members with real time and historical reporting of activity scores and participation levels of all group users. By aggregating the activity data into Group Reports, FITpas offers a new method of quantifying the cost-effectiveness and return on implementing any health and wellness program.

To track activity, users of FITpas are able to select from over 500 activities ranging from low impact, such as walking, to higher intensity sports and activities. To add an even more accurate method of tracking caloric burn data, FITpas connects with approximately 100 leading fitness tracking devices and equipment, such as, Nike, Jawbone, LifeFitness, MyZone, Fitbit, Garmin, Fitbug, iHealth, Omron, Polar, and Netpulse, among many others.

FITwave International Technologies President and Chief Executive David Dunlap explains “FITpas is a universal solution to activity tracking in the healthcare industry, ideal for both fitness enthusiasts and less active individuals.

“While a low percentage of the fitness market -  the ‘twenty per centers’ - are seeking new ways to evaluate higher forms physical fitness, the overwhelming majority - the ‘eighty per centers’ -  simply need more ways to track activities and set goals, not commonly associated with a typical fitness egimen.”

Dunlap highlights information published by global consultants Pricewaterhouse Coopers in December last year that stated “instead of prescribing drugs, providers are prescribing exercise regimens and using data to keep patients on track to meet health goals.

“In 2014, the trend has the potential to fundamentally alter how health organisations interact with patients and one another to deliver care and manage health while keeping costs down.”

FITwave International Technologies was founded to provide solutions for the increasing challenges that are encountered when integrating multi-media fitness entertainment with workout tracking capabilities. FITwave provides a platform of turnkey technology solutions designed to meet the growing product and service needs of health clubs, wellness centres, hotels, spas, corporate fitness facilities, and fitness equipment manufactures.

FITpas, by FITwave International Technologies, was created to track and score daily activity using a simple and straight-forward formula to measure, and reward ongoing health and wellness progress.
