For Immediate Release ACTXA SPUR SIMPLIFIES TRAINING IN YOUR HEART RATE ZONE, WITH NEW HEART RATE MONITORING SINGAPORE (24 May 2017) – Actxa today released the Spur, an all-day activity tracker with continuous heart rate monitoring and heart rate zone indication markers. A convenient alternative to the traditional chest strap, the Spur intends to make training in the different heart rate zones accessible to everyone, not just the athletes. Fitness enthusiasts and professional athletes have, for decades, used their heart rate to determine the ideal intensity levels for their training. Your heartbeats tell you how well your cardio-respiratory system is working. The more intense your workout, the higher your heart rate is. The Spur measures your resting heart rate with a built-in sensor at the wrist, and helps calculate and track your Warm Up, Fat Burning, Cardio, Intense and Maximum heart rate zones, buzzing you when you’ve entered or exited the latter. “It’s great that many of us are walking 10,000 steps daily, but it’s important to do it at a moderate intensity to improve our cardiovascular health,” explains Joel Chin, CEO. “We also need to make sure our sessions aren’t too intense on recovery days. With the Spur, you get the guidance and monitoring you wish for, to plan your training schedule, so your body gets both the workout and rest it needs for better health.” In addition to monitoring your heart rate, the Spur also tracks your step count, caloric expenditure, active duration time and distance travelled. You can set personal goals and track your progress with the Actxa App, which provides you with a graphical report of your activity and stores up to 100 of these Activity Reports before overwriting them. The Spur also monitors the quality of your sleep by tracking your movements throughout the night, which provides you with a better understanding of your sleeping habits, allowing you to tweak them for better rest. While many of these features aren’t new in the world of fitness trackers, the Spur comes at a fraction of the price, without sacrificing its reliability. “We want to make fitness attainable for everyone. A healthy lifestyle isn’t just for the technologically adept or the elite athlete with their fancy equipment. It needs to be accessible for the regular person on the street,” shares Joel. The Spur is the latest fitness tracker to join Actxa’s range of products. About Actxa Formed in 2015, Actxa is steered by a team focused on designing, developing and delivering the latest fitness technology at affordable prices. Helping track 5 billion steps made by the 156,000 participants in the National Steps Challenge organised by the Health Promotion Board in 2015, Actxa was also the official tech partner for the National Steps Challenge Season 2 in 2016. Actxa’s tagline ‘Mind Your Fitness’ is about empowering customers to embark on healthy lifestyles through a range of innovative products all easily connected via a smart app. From daily activity trackers to a smart scale, minding your fitness is powered by Actxa’s wealth of experience in technology and biomechanics, simplified for the busy life.

Actxa launched the new Spur+ in October 2018. A powered-up version of the original Spur released in May 2017, the Spur+ comes with additional all-day heart rate monitoring, Move Alert, VO2 Max and Fitness Age measurement. At $109, the Spur+ is excellent value for money. The question is, if you already have the Spur, is it worth paying $109 to upgrade to the Spur+? The answer? A resounding YES. The features offered by the Spur+ aren’t just for those who are serious about their fitness and health, they also provide a wealth of useful information for the casual exerciser. Read on for three reasons why you should consider upgrading to the Spur+. Reason 1: All-day heart rate monitoring Knowing how your heart rate fluctuates throughout the day can give you insight into the effectiveness of your fitness program, your stress management skills, and even serve as a warning for potential heart problems. If your resting heart rate decreases over time, it’s a good sign that your overall fitness is improving (i.e. your workouts are effective). Noticed an unusual spike in your heart rate? Find out what you were doing then. You might have just uncovered a source of stress that you weren’t aware of. Feeling lightheaded or dizzy? It might be a symptom of your heart beating irregularly and it may be a good prompt to schedule a check-up with your doctor. The point is, knowing how your heart behaves is like peeking into the hidden side of you, your thoughts and your health. Reason 2: Move Alerts It’s easy to walk into the office and get overwhelmed by a tsunami of emails, meetings and deadlines. Some might even say this is normal. However, when we get lost in our work for hours, we often neglect a vital part of our health – movement. This is why the Spur+ Move Alert is an essential addition to our lives. While there is that possibility that some might find these customisable reminders annoying, we need to remember that these alerts function like our morning alarm. They remind us that we need to do something, now. A quick, short walk around the office every hour is more than enough to reduce the negative health impacts of sitting for hours at your desk. Reason 3: VO2 Max and Fitness Age VO2 Max is a measurement of your cardiorespiratory/aerobic fitness level. It shows how well your body takes oxygen in and transports it to your muscles, which then produces energy you can use. The higher your VO2 Max scores, the fitter you are. This is great news for those who want to take their fitness seriously, and who need detailed information on their performance. But what about those of us who exercise casually? What can we learn from our VO2 Max? In case you haven’t guessed yet, the lower your score, the fitter you are. The Spur+ also shows you the average Fitness Age of people in your age group for context. This is especially useful if you want to track your improvement over time and you need a benchmark to compare against. Bonus Reason: Challenges and Rewards The Spur+ can be used with the National Step Challenge Season 4 (NSC4), a nationwide event where you get rewarded for walking and exercising daily. It is also fully compatible with the Healthy 365 mobile app. Simply clock 10,000 steps for 40 Healthpoints daily. Unlock the different tiers of rewards as you progress and use your Healthpoints for attractive rewards like Actxa e-vouchers! Download the Healthy 365 mobile app from the App Store or Google Play, sign up for the challenge, and start accumulating your Healthpoints for sure-win rewards today!

If you find the name Actxa familiar, that’s because it supplies the step trackers for the National Steps Challenge for the past years. Actxa is a Singapore brand formed in 2015 and focuses on developing health and fitness related products. Their software arm, Activate Interactive Pte Ltd, develops apps like Health 365, and games for health and fitness since 1997. Their experience in this area clearly shines in the Actxa app. The Actxa Spur+ is the flagship fitness tracker retailing at S$109, with current ongoing promotion at S$94 . Other basic trackers only count steps, and the Tempo 2 issued by the National Steps Challenge Season 4 comes with a heart rate monitor. The Actxa Spur (no “plus”) is similar spec to Tempo 2 but runs on Actxa App which has more fitness stats. While it comes in only one strap size, there are enough holes to fit even my daugher of 11 years. The Actxa Spur+ comes with colour display plus VO2 Max monitoring. It is functionally comparable to Garmin Vivosmart 4 or Fitbit Alta HR (which does not have VO2 monitoring), but both are more expensive and no colour display. What is VO2 Max? It calculates the maximum amount of oxygen a person can consume during a workout. It is a good indicator on how much endurance a person has for prolonged exercise. Without any clinical machine to measure, those VO2 Max monitors on the wrists are usually based on formula around the measured heart rate. In short, a higher VO2 Max reflects better fitness level. Design-wise, the Actxa Spur+ has 2 diagonal strips printed on the glass surface. The strap is smooth on the underside while the outside is textured. The standard watch buckle ensures the strap does not come loose easily as compared to most other fitness trackers. Charging is via proprietary magnetic charging dock. There are no physical buttons, so the only way to navigate the tracker is to tap the screen. Connecting the watch to the smartphone is a breeze. The best part is that you can connect to any smartphone without having to re-pair or reset the watch. Just disconnect the watch from the old phone, install the Actxa app to the new phone, log in, and sync. Using Bluetooth Low Energy protocol, the device is authenticated through the Actxa app instead of the phone Bluetooth settings. The watch shows real-time stats like steps, distance walked, heart rate, etc. but the screens are fixed. Also, you can see from the above screenshots that you can enable a few features on the tracker, like main display, alarm, notifications, move alert, wake-up gesture. All the data is synced to the smartphone app, where there are dozens of screens to present the stats. Like all fitness trackers, the app offers interesting insights on your health stats. The Actxa Spur+ offers more stats than most other trackers for the same price. Here are the metrics in detail: Intensity Minutes Workout Tracking Heart Rate Monitoring Steps Monitoring Calories Tracking Active Time Tracking Distance Tracking Weight Tracking Sleep Tracking From the daily dashboard, you have a summary of each of the above stats. The step tracking is a bit more sensitive than my Samsung Gear Fit2 Pro, which is a good thing specially if you depend on it to clock your daily 10,000 steps to earn your rewards. You can drill into the details on each of the metrics. Here is what it looks like for all-day heart rate monitoring. If you have recorded any workout activities (long-press on the tracker), then the app will show the heartrate chart and the intensity level, among other information. One issue: when battery is low, it cannot start a new session. Or during workout when the battery hits low, the workout will end prematurely. The VO2 Max will also be plotted over time, with every workout you record. This page below shows sleep quality. On certain nights, Actxa Spur+ could not detect my sleep duration accurately, for reasons unknown. Verdict The Actxa Spur+ is a full-featured activity tracker designed to provide loads of fitness metrics for the wearer. These metrics are indicators of fitness level, and like most wrist trackers, they are not as scientifically accurate as clinical equipment, but captures the fitness trends of the wearer over a period of time. While there are many inexpensive products from China, many of them are not designed by English-proficient developers resulting in some challenges in understanding the user interface. Compared with the established brand trackers, Actxa is value for money. If you participate in the National Steps Challenge and needed a more advanced fitness tracker with more health stats, the Actxa Spur+ is a great choice for less than S$100. The Actxa Spur+ is available at selected retail outlets, Lazada, Actxa website, and Singpost branches, at a launch promo price of S$94 (RRP $109).

In case you missed it, here is Actxa’s CEO, Lim Chun Hong’s interview with CNA938 streamed last Saturday. In his interview with SportsTalk host R. Sasikumar, he shared Actxa’s vision as well as how Actxa’s unique, high-value, outcome- and evidence-based solutions can be customised to help communities such as interest groups or corporations meet their specific goals. About Actxa Our values stem from the need to be present: for the people and causes that matter, in our children’s lives for years to come, and for our parents to be in ours too. We also believe that through bettering ourselves, we will better the people around us, and ultimately our communities and cities. With the prevalence of easy-to-use smart devices in the pockets or on the wrists of people in all stages of life, we want to create a world where everyone can see how they’re really doing, which can often be different than how they feel they’re doing. Through awareness, of where we are and where we want to be, we can close the gap and make the right moves to journey towards our best selves. Actxa brings together people, partners, science, technology and data to create positive changes to the health, quality of life and well-being of every individual and community. In addition to offering evidence-based wellness programmes to individuals, communities and corporations, Actxa is proud to have been supporting population health initiatives such as the National Steps Challenge, a nationwide get active and healthy programme in Singapore. Since the programmes’ inception in 2015, we have positively impacted the lives of more than 1 million individuals, and counting. Email: marketing@actxa.com Website: www.actxa.com

Last month, the Heart Wellness Centre at Singapore Heart Foundation hosted a ‘Let’s Talk About Sleep’ webinar as part of their health talk series to help their cardiac rehab clients lead a healthier lifestyle. Actxa’s CEO, Lim Chun Hong, was invited as a speaker where he shared about the importance of sleep and how it is the foundation of a balanced and healthy lifestyle. Sleep was once considered an inactive, or passive, state in which both the body and the brain ‘turned off’ to reset and recover from the day’s waking activities. However, this is no longer believed to be true as scientists have found that your brain goes through characteristic patterns of activities throughout each period of sleep and sometimes your brain can be more active when we are asleep than we are awake. Watch the Webinar to Learn About: What is sleep? (01.10) Why is sleep important for well-being? (02.43) What happens to the mind and in the body when we don’t get enough sleep or quality sleep? (03.49) How much sleep do we need to thrive? (08.59) Are you recovering during sleep? (12.04) Habit changes that will vastly improve your sleep (18.14) Importance of a balanced lifestyle and how Actxa’s proprietary Healthy Living Score can help us gain awareness on where we are in our preventive healthy journey (29.16) Q&A session (31.46) About Actxa Our values stem from the need to be present: for the people and causes that matter, in our children’s lives for years to come, and for our parents to be in ours too.

For Immediate Release SINGAPORE, (21 February 2018) – Actxa, local developer of digital health and fitness products, recently acquired the exclusive rights to launch and distribute Firstbeat Lifestyle Assessment, a professional-grade coaching service, in Singapore. Using a unique heart rate variability analysis , the Firstbeat Lifestyle Assessment effectively measures beat-by-beat heartrate and provides insightful knowledge into one’s health and stress levels, helping users to take concrete steps to improve their lifestyle and productivity performance. Established in 2002, the Firstbeat technology (Firstbeat) is based on a spin-off from the Research Institute for Olympic Sports in Finland and the University of Jyväskylä, both of which are internationally acclaimed academic institutions known for their research and expertise in sports science. Leveraging on 20 years of study in the field of heartbeat and heart rate variability, Firstbeat created a unique digital model of physiology that turns heartbeat data into personal feedback and actions. Built with near-laboratory level accuracy for professional athletes, this technology is now made available for people from all walks of life through the Firstbeat Lifestyle Assessment. Using factual data from the bodyguard device that the user has to put on for 3 days, together with a web diary that logs down the activities that the user goes through during the assessment period, we can have personalised data to the user’s stress, recovery and exercise levels, and how they co-relate. By turning that information into rich, valuable and understandable feedback, individuals, corporates and even wellness professionals (such as coaches and gym instructors) can now connect the dots between the user’s lifestyle choices and well-being and identify steps to a healthier, fitter and more productive life. Individuals, with the inclination to take on personal responsibility of making lifestyle changes, can use the findings to complement annual health checks, or even integrate them into wellness initiatives (with the help of wellness professionals), such as weight loss, stress management or exercise programs. Corporations can help employees achieve positive occupational health and wellbeing for increased productivity and reduced absenteeism. Since its launch, over 250,000 people have experienced the Firstbeat Lifestyle Assessment with amazing results. 82% of them reported an improvement in their ability to manage stress, improve exercise habits and quality of sleep, 85% of them reported that they feel more productive at work and 88% of them reported an improvement in well-being. “We are proud and excited to introduce Firstbeat Lifestyle Assessment to the Singapore market. We hope that this unique service will help Singaporeans, who are living a demanding and fast- paced lifestyle, to better cope with daily stresses, reach their goals and most importantly feel good about themselves, both physically and mentally. With this new service, Actxa goes beyond designing and manufacturing digital health wearables to provide users a more holistic, and end- to-end approach towards monitoring their personal health and wellness,” said Mr. Lim Chun Hong, CEO of Actxa. The Firstbeat Lifestyle Assessment for individuals is available for purchase through its website at S$299.00 per assessment. Corporate companies and Wellness professionals looking to implement Firstbeat Lifestyle Assessment can contact Actxa directly at sales@actxa.com.

Monitor your health and activity effortlessly with these smartwatches and fitness bands – we put 4 to the test and see how well they measure up to the demands of daily life. Polar A370 A sleek fitness band that’s equipped with a colour touchscreen, a single side button and changeable wristbands. The A370 is Polar’s first unit to offer continuous heart rate tracking but one of its most unique qualities is its advanced sleep metrics. It offers an in-depth insight into your sleep quality, differentiating between ‘bed time’ and actual sleep time, along with any sleep interruptions and provides feedback on ways to achieve better sleep. Within the training function, there are various pre-set sport types such as ‘Group Exercises’ and ‘Running’ but you can customise your own exercise profiles on the app and load them into the unit. The verdict A slim and sporty fitness tracker that’s relatively straightforward to set up and use. Best for the casual gym-goer. Actxa Spur The most affordable of the lot, the Actxa Spur is the training wheels’ equivalent of a fitness band. Actxa first produced the Stride as a free step counter for the Health Promotion Board and the Spur is its jazzed-up, upgraded version. It supports heart rate monitoring through six heart zones: Relax, Warm Up, Fat Burn, Cardio, Intense and Max, and shows you the duration spent in each zone in a handy coloured chart on the app. While you can’t swim with it, it’s able to withstand sweat and lasts up to 10 days in between charges. The verdict An entry-level, easy-to-use activity tracker for basic day-to-day tracking. Best for the tech-adverse lot. Apple Watch Series 3 The third iteration of the Apple Watch takes the best features of the Series 2 and plays them up – it straddles the line between smartwatch and phone, especially the recently launched version with both built-in GPS and cellular service. It comes with all the notifications functions you need, altimetre, 50m water resistance and allows you to talk to Siri too. Of course, you have full access to the app store which is an unbeatable quality. The verdict An all-round smartwatch that gives you on-the-go connectivity. Best for busy folks. Fitbit Ionic Fitbit Ionic is the brand’s first foray into fitness smartwatches – it allows you to make payment with your pre-saved credit card and pops notifications of your fancy. There are a handful of apps to tap into, including Strava and the Weather app, but nothing to shout about. Its fitness tracking functions, though, are impressive – steps, distance, heart rate and quick access to workout modes are all neatly visualised in the app. There’s also a nifty built-in Relax function that reminds you to rest and meditate. THE VERDICT A lightweight smartwatch that’s better as a fitness tracker than as a smartwatch. Best for the sporty crowd and zen-seeker.

Smartband that indicates the level of sugar I came across this device absolutely by accident. A small smartband that looks similar to, for example, Xiaomi Mi Band 3 has one quite unique functionality - it can determine whether the user's blood sugar level is high, low or maybe appropriate. Marcus Soo, product manager of Actxa from Singapore, explained to me how the device works. It uses a database collected on the basis of many studies in Singapore hospitals (the company has a contract with the local health care). It compares the measured parameters (mainly heart rate and body temperature) with the results in the database and returns one of three results (low, normal, high). Of course, it will not replace a glucometer for people with diabetes, but it will work as an early warning system against sugar drops.

For immediate release ACTXA STEPS UP ITS FITNESS GAME WITH IMPROVED ACTIVE WEARABLE, ACTXA SPUR+, FEATURING ALL-NEW VO2 MAX AND FITNESS AGE FEATURES Level-up your exercise, fitness and health by tracking and stretching your cardiorespiratory/aerobic fitness with the all-new Actxa Spur+ SINGAPORE, November 2018 – Actxa, local developer of digital health and fitness products, has launched its all-new active wearable, the Actxa Spur+, to empower not only the fitness enthusiasts but also the average Joe on the streets to be in better control of their fitness and enjoy the health benefits that come with improved fitness levels. The Spur+ now includes a new key feature – VO2 Max – the gold standard metric that defines an individual’s cardiorespiratory and aerobic fitness level. It describes your body’s ability to bring oxygen into your body through your lungs, transport it through your blood supply to your muscles, and use it as part of your body’s most efficient energy production method. The Spur+ accurately measures VO2 Max using a proprietary method from Firstbeat Technologies, the leading provider of physiological analytics for sports and well-being, founded in the hub of sports sciences of Finland with the University and physiology labs. According to a white paper by Firstbeat Technologies, an individual’s VO2 Max decreases by 1% every year after the age of 251. However, individuals can actively improve their VO2 Max regardless of age, by engaging in regular exercise to maintain fitness performance and endurance for overall health and well-being, for longer work ability, better quality of life and longevity. 1 Firstbeat Technologies White Paper (2014). Automated Fitness Level (VO2max) Estimation with Heart Rate and Speed Data With the all-new VO2 Max feature, the Spur+ is also able to determine an individual’s Fitness Age in comparison to their chronological age. The higher the VO2 Max , the more aerobically fit a person is, and the lower their Fitness Age is. Available in a sleek black or midnight blue design, the Actxa Spur+ wearable is water-resistant and comes with a face-lifted interface that features a colour touchscreen display. The gadget tracks and displays “Intensity Minutes ” , giving wearers the instant visibility of their progress as they work towards achieving the WHO-recommended weekly goal of 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activities (MVPA). To get a personal VO2 Max reading, users simply need to record a workout of at least 15 minutes, either by jogging or brisk walking. The improved gadget also provides All-day Heart Rate Monitoring , with a five-minute reading interval. It also features Move Alert to remind users when a (customisable) period of inactivity is detected. With all these data and information effectively synchronised to the Actxa mobile app, users are presented with an easy to use interface to view and track their data as actionable insights. “We are excited to launch the Actxa Spur+ this October. The product has been carefully designed with new features that give users more in-depth and meaningful insights into the effectiveness of their exercise regimes. By capturing data that sheds light on how workouts and day-to-day routines translate into improved fitness levels, we hope to make the Actxa Spur+ a big part of our users’ lifestyle as they strive for a more healthy and active living,” said Mr. Lim Chun Hong, CEO of Actxa. The Actxa Spur+ is available for purchase at retail outlets island wide at S$109.00. Tag & Hashtag Us: @Actxa | #ActxaSpurPlus | #ActxaSG
