Our Story
Recognized by the American Heart Association as the 2014 Most Innovative Technology in the Field of Cardiovascular Health.
With childhood obesity reaching epidemic proportions and costing an estimated $147 billion, 36 states have passed legislation mandating enhanced physical activity in schools.
Most of these laws require PE curriculums to have students log at least 50% of their class time exercising at a moderate to vigorous level (MVPA). Unfortunately, most schools have no way to track, report, or evaluate activity. The IHT Spirit System offers a solution with the top-selling heart rate monitor in public education, tracking and reporting student heart rate data on a daily basis. This information, compiled with other student health data, provides teachers, administrators, and parents an accurate and complete analysis of student health on an ongoing basis.
Beyond satisfying state mandates, research indicates that physically active children do better in school, have higher self-esteem, and attend class more regularly. Therefore, IHT’s education heart rate technology not only helps children maintain a healthy fitness routine, it also improves the lives of children in the classroom and beyond.
IHT strives to support students not only in physical fitness and emotional wellness, but also on their path to academic success.
