InstaBeat is a swimming tracker head-mounted device that allows the user to get information about their heart-beat and lap times. The device can be attached to a variety of swimming goggles. This way, InstaBeat goggles enhances the swimmer's training routine and provides them with data about their swimming performance in real-time without the need to exit the water. The recorded data can be uploaded via USB and through the provided InstaBeatConnect online application the user can review the performance data, save them, and compare them to previously recorded sessions.

Main characteristics
InstaBeat is an attachable head-mounted heart-beat sensor and display. The device is made from a flexible waterproof material and can be attached to a selection of swimming goggles.(cit needed) The inner side of the device features a heart-beat sensor. Information about the performance is conveyed through three sets of three coloured (blue, green red) LED diodes on the bottom rim of the goggles. After registering the user's heart-beat, the device can track it and inform the user about the heart frequency by lighting up the differently coloured diodes. The threshold at which different colours turn on is customised by the user through the bundled InstaBeatConnect software. InstaBeat communicates with the application via a USB connector. The application archives previous sessions, displays performance graphs and measures lapt imes, heart beat and burn calories. The data can also be shared on various social networks.(cit manual)
Purpose
InstaBeat provides the means to measure and track swimming performance and help to make training more effective.
