SNAPSHOT
Instabeat is the first wearable that allows professional
swimmers to monitor their performance while training, unlike
any competitor on the market. The founder Hind Hobeika, a
former competitive swimmer, has created a waterproof
heads-up display monitor that tracks, stores and displays
instant color coded feedback of swimmers' heart rates on the
goggles' lenses. Instabeat can be mounted on any swimming
goggles, and has embedded sensors that detect the heart
rate as well as the laps, distance and speed of the swimmer.
The training data is sent to an online dashboard for
swimmers to analyze their workouts and optimize their
training programs to achieve their peak performance. Hind
Hobeika was listed among the top 10 most interesting
startups in the Middle East by Forbes Magazine and one of
the top 100 most influential Arab women in 2014. Instabeat is
invested in by Berytech, Saned, Wamda Capital, MENA
Venture Investments, Jabbar Internet Group, Fundbox and
Saturnalia Investments.
