Hi,

LifeBEAM has released the prototype and announced the launch of a major new product in the fitness technology category. It's an artificially intelligent, talking fitness training system incorporating its biosensor technology into earphones. It competes with Fitbit. Since the product is very innovative, the prototype was extensively reviewed by Engadget, TechCrunch, Thrillist, MacWorld and elsewhere.

In keeping with WP:CRYSTAL policy, I'd like to include a new sub-section about the new product. Here's the relevant Crystal Ball policy, as a reminder: "Although Wikipedia includes up-to-date knowledge about newly revealed products, short articles that consist only of product announcement information are not appropriate. Until such time that more encyclopedic knowledge about the product can be verified, product announcements should be merged to a larger topic (such as an article about the creator(s), a series of products, or a previous product) if applicable. Speculation and rumor, even from reliable sources, are not appropriate encyclopedic content."

Here's the suggested section:

Artificially Intelligent Wearables
In June, 2016, the company released the prototype of Vi, a wearable AI earphone personal training device that combines voice instructions with bio-sensors. The voice-activated digital assistant is similar to Apple's Siri with the fitness tracking features of Fitbit. The earbuds have sensors that track heart rate, heart rate variability and motion while running. Sensors also track weather, elevation, and location. Vi analyzes the data and provides real-time coaching based on fitness goals. It also chooses Spotify or Apple Music tracks that match the beats per minute of the recommended pace. The product is scheduled for consumer release in December, 2016.

Because of the significant development in product development, the lead should also be slightly altered to reflect the company's direction:


 * It was then expanded to consumer fitness products, including artificially intelligent wearables.

Thanks for your consideration. Happy to assist in any way I can.BC1278 (talk) 01:32, 14 June 2016 (UTC)BC1278
