Interactive Health Technologies

Interactive Health Technologies IHT is the industry leader in comprehensive student wellness accountability. Most of these laws require PE curriculums to have at least 50% MVPA.

Our science-backed wearable technology delivers heart rate data and performance metrics in real-time to connect physical and emotional health in education. 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. Unfortunately, most schools have no way to track, report, or evaluate activity. The IHT Spirit System provides a solution by 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 has indicated that children who are physically active do better in school, have higher self-esteem, and attend class more regularly. Therefore, PE 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 fitness but also on their path to academic success.

"No" isn't the end of the story … it's just the beginning.

We gathered the stories of 4 incredible educators who fought through budget rejections and bureaucratic walls to bring heart rate monitor technology to their students. Their secret? Learning the funding strategies that actually work.

The funding was always there. What these educators had to learn was where to look and how to ask.

A STEAM teacher in Georgia was staring at three years of flat math scores – and instead of accepting it, he did something revolutionary: He put heart rate monitors on his students.

He turned lessons into games. And the results? Kids became more engaged. Their confidence increased, their scores were higher, and even the teachers said they were becoming better teachers.

“The possibilities of where we can go are endless. We need to continue to inspire teachers to try new things. They are risky, but if we don’t take risks, we don’t get the reward. It is on us to ensure that students are learning, but we can do that by making sure they are having fun and staying engaged.”
– Sean Splawski, the Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) Lab teacher at Mableton Elementary, Georgia

❤️ February is American Heart Month. Cardiovascular health isn't just about what happens in a doctor's office. It starts in the gym, the classroom, the home – with kids learning to understand and care for their own bodies.

That's why we built the Spirit Heart Rate Monitor: to give students, educators, and families real-time data that builds lifelong healthy habits.

Turning heartbeats into meaningful insights, one heartbeat at a time. 📊

What are the core benefits of wearable technology in schools and which educators benefit most from them?

Heart rate monitors aren't just changing PE class. They're changing how students learn, engage, and perform across the whole school day. The results are pretty remarkable.

From PE to counseling to special education, real-time heart rate data is helping kids understand themselves in a whole new way.

Schools with IHT heart rate monitors are proof: When kids move, their minds perform.

A before-school fitness program at one of the nation’s largest school districts is showing meaningful academic gains. An elementary school’s students had benchmark score increases as high as 36 points after participating in daily movement sessions tracked with our heart rate monitors.

This fitness program blends social skills with purposeful physical activity for 30 minutes every morning. Teachers and administrators report students arrive in class energized, focused, and ready to learn … and the data backs it up.

This success shows what happens when schools prioritize student wellness with data-driven tools that both motivate students and give educators meaningful insight. It’s not just physical fitness – it’s preparedness, confidence, and performance.

If your school is looking for ways to elevate academic readiness, this model is worth a closer look: https://ihtusa.com/iht-blog/before-school-exercise-program-leads-to-academic-success/

As schools and districts start planning for 2026/2027, we’re helping educators move from reactive wellness efforts to proactive efforts, using data that supports the whole child.

Most schools don’t lack intent when it comes to student wellness. They lack visibility.

How do you know:
• When students are motivated vs disengaged?
• Are students meeting the MVPA requirements?
• When stress levels are rising?
• Which wellness strategies and activities are actually working?

If you’re involved in wellness planning, PE, virtual education, counseling, or student support, let’s connect now before schedules and budgets lock: https://ihtusa.com/start-a-conversation/

Caitlin Schoville, two-time SHAPE Teacher of the Year, explains why visual observation alone can be misleading:

"Visually watching someone participate does not show or tell you their cardiovascular health. For example, a student who is walking a lap on a track may be in the MVPA zone, while another student is running the lap but is barely into their yellow/MVPA zone."

🏃‍♀️ That's the power of heart rate data in PE!

For 10 years, Pleasant Valley Junior High in Iowa has been using heart rate monitors to help students understand TRUE effort … not just what it looks like from the outside. The results? Increased MVPA time, empowered students, and family nights that change parents' perspectives on modern PE.

Read more about how this junior high built a decade-long culture of accountability and heart-healthy habits: https://ihtusa.com/iht-blog/junior-high-heart-rate-monitors-for-pe-build-student-accountability-heart-healthy-habits/

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.
