Digifit
Connect is an Apple approved all-digital transceiver which connects to the
iPhone or iPod touch via the 30-pin connector. Digifit Connect is the enabling
interface to iTMP’s patent pending Digifit™ Ecosystem and is available
immediately for purchase at www.digifit.me.
The
Digifit Ecosystem is a suite of apps that track cardio, running, Spinning®
and other cycling data from the ANT+ compatible sensors. The following apps in the Digifit
Ecosystem are now available for download from the App Store:
iCardio™ - heart rate monitor tracks heart rate, calories
burned and time in target zones
iRunner™ - the only running app that
doubles as a heart rate monitor
iSpinner™ - a
cycling computer that tracks heart rate, cadence and time in target zones
iBiker™ - a cycling computer
that tracks heart rate, speed, distance, cadence
iPower™ - cycling computer that

“I have
a running watch, a bike computer, use exercise equipment at the gym, have an
iPod and a mobile phone yet I had no way to see all of my fitness data in one
place until I tracked it all manually,” says Michael Williams, Founder and CEO
of iTMP . “Now, with our revolutionary Digifit Ecosystem all of my cardio
exercise information is tracked in one central repository on the iPhone. And
because I have it all together
now on one internet-enabled device, with one tap I can send my
data to the cloud.”
"We are very excited about the launch of the Digifit Ecosystem and the Digifit Connect iPhone accessory," stated Brian Macdonald, Director, ANT Wireless. "Now millions of iPhone and iPod touch users worldwide will have a plug-and-play alternative that allows them to conveniently track their health & fitness. ANT+ interoperable sensors help to make it all a seamless, end-to-end solution."
ANT is available on Nordic Semiconductor products (the AP1 and AP2 family). A family of network node products will be available from Texas Instruments starting 2Q 2010. All ANT parts support ANT+.
