The Heart Tech Plus (HTP) platform enables instructors, trainers, coaches and PE teachers to assist clients or students with achieving individual results during group fitness activity. The HTP Group application will display each participant's data live on a big display. Once the data is collected in the application it is stored within the application on the ipad for later transmission to the Heart Tech Plus new portal. When the instructor decides to connect to wifi on the IPad they can decide to send all the collected data to the new secure web portal specifically designed for this HTP Group application. Both instructors and students can view, review, study/analyze their data, then set appropriate fitness goals. The platform allows continuous adjustment of goals, based on accumulated data. The newly designed app was build to connect to a robust new web portal.
