Weight Loss and Obesity Treatment
|
Obesity contributes to five
of the top 10 diseases that have the highest mortality: cardiovascular disease,
stroke, diabetes, hypertension and cancer. This epidemic is growing every day,
nationally and internationally. According to 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) conducted by National Center for Health Statistics,
nearly two-thirds of adults in the United States are overweight, and 30.5 percent are obese.

Obesity occurs from
reduced energy expenditure (calories burnt) and increased energy intake, which
directly relates to the amount of daily physical activity and exercise. Data
from numerous studies indicates that increase in energy expenditure through
daily physical activity is the key to long-term success in weight control.

|
Until now there has not been an accurate and objective device that can
calculate the amount of physical activity. The innovative technologies and
clinical experience of Dr. Sun made IDEEA a highly accurate and intelligent
device for physical activity monitoring.

Until now there has not been an accurate and
objective device that can identify types of physical activity and calculate the
intensity of physical activity and energy expenditure in daily life. The
innovative approach, the powerful analysis tools, and the minimal intrusion to
daily life made IDEEA an ideal tool for obesity study and energy expenditure
assessment.
|
|
Accurate yet easy to use, IDEEA as a physical
activity monitor provides objective and scientific guidance for doctors,
nutritionists, professional trainers, and health club owners who want to help
people in controlling weight and living a healthier life.
|
|
IDEEA is what researchers have been waiting for decades! It is the most
powerful and accurate device ever of its kind. The data analysis and
result presentation is astounding.
|
|
|
The birth of IDEEA creates a new era for studies in physical activity,
behavior and fitness. Truly remarkable!
