What makes Instabeat unique is its ability to read swimmer's heart rate via a patent-pending optical sensor from the temporal artery on the side of the head.

The company will use the funds to support the launch of its first product, PIVOT, which is the most advanced wearable technology for tennis today.

Touted as the most comprehensive rowing stroke measurement, the solution analyses user's stroke and provides real time feedback on performance and technique.

Called RoadwareZ, the device features LED turn and brake signals, GPS tracking, access to a 24/7 emergency service, and a rear-facing camera and microphone.

The device acts like a personal coach, analyzing the swimmer's movements using nine built-in sensors and making sounds to prompt users to correct movements.

A special device that monitors user's rowing progress while exercising works with a companion app to stack users against each other.

World Rugby, New Zealand Rugby (NZR) and Rugby Australia (RA) have partnered with NeuroFlex to adopt an in-match trial of the technology.

Set to replace the original X-Patch, the new model is smaller and lighter, but also more technologically advanced with improved usability and performance.

The water-proof device offers some sport-specific data, including the number of waves hit, the top speed achieved, and the time spent riding individual waves.

A company called Motus has developed a system that uses biomechanics to measure stress on a pitcher's elbow or a change in batter's swing.
