Azumio: Developing the Next Generation Mobile Health Technology

Azumio is a mobile health technology company known for creating a biofeedback health application that runs on Android and iOS platforms. To date, Azumio’s mobile app called “Instant Heart Rate App” has been downloaded over 10 million times.

Azumio was founded with the humblest of intentions: to improve people’s wellness by promoting healthy habits through innovative mobile apps that provide users with personal health data. Azumio believes that once users are well-informed, they can develop a healthier lifestyle.

The people behind this Silicon-based company are scientists, researchers, clinicians, and professors at the University of California and Stanford University. Azumio also enjoys technical backing from established leaders in the technologies industry, especially those involved in mobile health.

The Instant Heart Rate App fits anyone that goes through a regular fitness routine. It provides real time heart rate reading. By simply placing a finger over a smartphone camera, the data is provided anytime, anywhere. The Instant Heart Rate App works by tracking the changes in color in the light that pass through the finger. The whole thing takes only 10 seconds. Before a work out, in the middle of training, or after a long run, the Instant Heart Rate App provides these important data.

Azumio believes that the Instant Heart Rate App is still the most accurate heart rate monitor app in the world. For CEO Peter Kuhar, the app is a wellness tool that can be carried 24/7. He added that tracking the heart rate would help determine the level of exertion before and after workout which are essential in knowing the optimal heart training zone.

The Android app Pro version is available at $2.99 aside from its free version. The iPhone app can be acquired at $0.99. Azumio is based in California. It has financial backing from the world’s most dynamic investors like Felicis Ventures, Accel® Partners, and Founders Fund.
