up by jawbone wristband

UP is a system, wristband and iPhone app, that tracks how you sleep, move and eat so you can monitor your activity throughout an entire day. The UP by Jawbone Wristband tracks your steps, distance, calories burned and time spent active vs. idle. While sleeping the band records how many hours you slept, how long it took you to fall asleep, time spent in light vs. deep sleep and how many times you woke during the night. All the data can be assessed in the free iPhone App and you can also input your food and drink intake to really get the full picture of your daily health.
