Michael Luna draws on over 35 years of experience in management, engineering, and design to serve as the chief technology officer at Jawbone. In his position at Jawbone, Michael Luna is responsible for strategy related to technology and innovation. Mr. Luna was involved in bringing to market UP, the first fully commercialized wrist-worn device containing a bioimpedance sensor.
Today’s fitness trackers have a huge variety of sensors that measure everything from altitude and air pressure to UV rays. The differentiation for Jawbone's fitness trackers, however, lies in their bioimpedance sensors. The sensors are used to measure the skin’s impedance using a tiny electric current emitted from two electrodes . The data gathered is then used to track heart rate, sleep, respiration, hydration, and skin conductance and much much more.
As technology continues to evolve, the possibilities for wearable technology are endless. In addition to providing the wellness, sports and medical communities with helpful data regarding a\ body composition and heart rate, applications and new sensors from many of the companies and startups in the space are being tested that would measure peoples emotions, fertility, and other physiological processes.
