Mark Allen partners with Fourth Frontier, maker of wearable EKG monitor Frontier X2
LONDON, England, Sept. 13 (Korea Bizwire) — Mark Allen – dubbed the greatest endurance athlete of all time through an official ESPN poll – has partnered with pioneering medical technology start-up Fourth Frontier to help endurance athletes monitor their heart health and train at optimum levels.
The company has made great strides to release the Frontier X2, the world’s first wearable smart heart device that allows endurance athletes like Allen to closely assess their heart strength and health. The Frontier X2 monitors the heart continuously over long periods of time, providing endurance athletes with unprecedentedly detailed data that is not only valuable in keeping tabs on overall heart health, but also in optimising training and racing.
Unlike traditional heart rate monitors that only record beats per minute, the chest-worn Frontier X2 also records the core functioning of the heart and lungs – generating a continuous ECG graph. Users can thereby monitor and correlate this ECG data with their breathing rate, heart rate, heart strain, and even their specific activity on a detailed dashboard – offering a complete report of your real-time cardiac and respiratory health.
Using cutting-edge hardware, software, and advanced patented algorithms, Fourth Frontier combines the best of cardiac science and wearable technology to afford its users access to data, metrics, and insights that were previously only available in labs and clinics.
“The Frontier X2 is an amazing device that will help you see what’s really going on in your heart,” says Mark Allen. “Your heart is the basis for everything to do with endurance athletics. If your heart is healthy, your entire body is, and the Frontier X2 helps you keep it that way. The Frontier X2 gives you on the spot feedback about your heart, so you can see if you’re healthy, if you’re pushing too hard, if there’s anomalies. If you’re serious about your sport, you should consider the X2 because it’s the only way that you’re going to be able to keep the muscle most important to your sport healthy – your heart!”
“We are elated that Mark Allen is partnering with us to help endurance athletes monitor their hearts and train at optimum levels. Over six years of research and development have gone into the making of the Frontier X2, which has been tested and validated in various settings – ranging from high-intensity sports to care facilities. Thousands of amateur athletes who are users already benefit from the Frontier X2, and this partnership with Mark Allen could help extend these benefits to millions more,” says Sandeep Sibal, CEO and Co-Founder of Fourth Frontier.
