V-Linc™ Technology

With over 25 patents pending, Valencell’s V-LINC™ sensor technology continuously measures more real-time biometric and physiological data than other fitness monitors, with higher accuracy, and does so in a single device. V-LINC™ technology is the only solution on the market that allows you to capture accurate, meaningful, actionable, and personalized health and fitness data such as metabolic rate and cardiovascular fitness (VO2max). Moreover, V-LINC™ technology comprises the only earbud-based continuous heart rate monitoring technology proven accurate during virtually any exercise in virtually any physical environment or condition. 

  • Heart rate
  • Respiration rate
  • Energy expenditure
  • Metabolic rate
  • Calories burned
  • Distance traveled
  • Steps taken
  • Speed
  • VO2max (cardiovascular fitness)
  • Ventilatory threshold
  • Recovery time
 V-LINC technology measures calories burned, heart rate, distance traveled

Because of the unique physiology of the ear, wearers can get more accurate health and fitness metrics with earbuds than with other devices, especially when moving around and/or engaging in physical activity. The unprecedented accuracy of these physiological metrics, provided in real-time, helps consumers customize and personalize data to help meet their specific goals. Users can view these metrics live through applications on their iPhone, Android phones, or other smartphone devices.

Valencell has executed hundreds of tests to prove the robustness of their technology during many different physical activities and environmental conditions. Reliable metrics are generated for virtually any weather condition.

Seamless integration of V-LINC™ technology within mobile devices makes it ideal for use in fitness training, athletic performance coaching, and many other related applications. To learn more about the applications of Valencell’s technology, see APPLICATIONS.
