Bring your own device

The app does not require a proprietary heart rate monitor. Visit this link to purchase discounted heart rate monitors in bulk for your business.

Bluetooth-compatible devices

Heart rate monitors send two signals: Bluetooth and ANT+. Depending on the manufacturer, some only send a Bluetooth signal (e.g., Polar), and some only send an ANT+ signal (e.g., Garmin).

The iPad and iPhone only have Bluetooth hardware, meaning they can't connect to ANT+ monitors without additional hardware. If your business already owns a WASP antenna from North Pole Engineering, you can connect it to the OnBeat app.

Fitbit and Apple Watch

OnBeat does not currently work with FitBit or Apple Watch. The Fitbit does not allow third-party apps to receive real-time heart rate data. The Apple Watch is only able to connect to a person’s personal phone. If this changes, we will be sure to integrate with them.
