eButton Tracks and Reports Your Workout Progress

Many devices track your every move, watch your every step and basically can monitor what you do while you’re on the road to better fitness. But eButton could take it to the next level. Currently it is a project being developed at the University of Pittsburgh, but the concept here is to track what you do and then report to a personal trailer or other fitness coach.

It uses a miniature camera, accelerometer, GPS and a variety of other sensors, so when worn on your person it knows pretty much what you’re doing. The aim is to track one’s lifestyle as much as activity. This does sound like it could be a sort of high-tech stalker, but hey no one says you have to wear it. But for those who need a little extra pressure this one probably could supply it in droves!
