Tech Alert: Sona
Sona is a new generation of connected fitness bracelet that aims to bring meditation and stress relief awareness to fitness tracking. The goal of the Sona fitness tracker is to combine fitness, style, and mind-body wellness. In addition to counting steps and monitoring your heart rate, the Sona bracelet links to an app encouraging meditation and mindful breathing.
The founders of the Sona bracelet, Nora Levinson and David Watkins, were focused on managing stress and being productive when they came up with the idea. The heart rate sensor and monitor in the Sona bracelet is 10 times more accurate than the current fitness trackers. This technology can give a “glimpse” into your nervous system and to see the tug of war going on between your stress response and your relaxation response, and to therefore, give you options of how to improve that, over time.
In addition to receiving a daily number of your overall daily health, there is a science-based breathing and meditation program called Resonance that will help you to train your response to stress. The design of the bracelet is geared toward young professionals and is aesthetically pleasing. It is made of leather and metals that are in more traditional accessories. The Sona bracelet tracks everything a traditional fitness tracker does, with the added benefit of helping you to reduce your heart rate and stress through breathing and meditation.
