Fitness Tracking isn’t only About Counting Steps
PAI is Personal Activity Intelligence application introduced by MIO
Slice. PAI’s revolutionary algorithm is designed in such a way that it
can sense personal heart rate, giving the user a simple number that
shows how much activity you need to live a longer, healthier life. The
only product that supports PAI in the watch unit, as well as the
application, is the Mio Slice. It has a built-in heart rate tracker, and
the idea is to aim for a PAI score of 100 which is simple to
understand and removes the frustrating obsession with steps that don't
always work for everyone and replaces it with an actual everyday
target to effectively boost health and fitness.

which users can access helpful information in a friendly, efficient
manner to improve their mobility and independence.
