application for biking/fitness/training

[Jens Meyer]

Hello all!

Your different suggestions and the provided information sound very 
interesting!

I personally would prefer a chest strap (like with most heart rate 
monitors for fitness) vs. ECG-sensors 
(http://www.alivetec.com/products.htm) but this is a step in a good 
direction.

I will do some further investigation later.
Actually I know that the German health insurance company "Barmer" 
started a project with "T-Systems" for mobile fitness which uses a 
bluetooth heart rate sensor also (but GPS is also included).

shop with bluetooth heart rate sensor (German):

project page (German):

Kind regards,

           Jens
