•  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

Behavioral  approach  -­‐  Habits

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

Can  only  see  1  Day  at  a  ]me      Like  to  track  trends  over  ]me  –  Correlate  to  ea]ng,  weight  loss,  meds  (not  in  this  case),  stress  levels,  et  al…

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
