Who Dat?
• Basis Science was founded in 2011 • Pre-‐orders in late 2012 • Broad shipping broadly in late 2013 • Sold to Intel in March 2014, for 100 million • $199 for the device (not so cheap)
“Basis was founded by Nadeem Kassam, Bharat Vasan, and Marco Della Torre in early 2011, receiving $32.3 million in funding, including a Series B round of $11.8 million that included funding from Intel Capital.”

How Do It Know?
Unique to Basis is it’s mul]-‐sensor approach to tracking -‐ both Biology AND Mo]on. • Heart-‐rate sensor (op]cal blood flow) • Skin temp (accurate to tenth of a degree) • Perspira]on (calculated from galvanic skin response)
• 3d Accelerometer

Why Limit The Habits?
I’d like to define my own habits, e.g… • 30 min walk between 6-‐7 AM • Sleep before 10:30 during weekday • Target heart rate 4 x week

Love! Meh Feh! LOVE!!!
• Sensors (biology & mo]on) • Ac]vity Details • Sleep Details • Interac]vity of the views • Seamless mode switch (walk,
run, bike, sleep)
Meh… • Habits • Points / Rewards • Look and Comfort • Charge (bout 3 days max) • Device interface (both
bu2ons & auto-‐light mo]on) • Ac]vity Pa2erns
Feh!!!!!… • Craosmanship • Charger (mini-‐USB anyone?) • No Data Export • No Public API • No app or device integra]on • No Social • No longitudinal views

Overall View
• I get it! I see why Intel bought them • Minimal Viable Product approach – the good and the bad
• REALLY go2a provide API and integra]on…soon! There’s a window of opportunity
• Basis + Fitbit is great for me. Both pass “Turnaround” test for
