Mio

Mio is a Canadian company developing fitness related wearables to help users achieve performance goals.

The company has been creating performance wearables for two decades. In 2011 they developed the first wrist-based optical heart rate for tracking athletic performance in partnership with Phillips. Two years later they introduced the first continuous, real-time heart rate monitor on the wrist – the Mio Alpha.

Their presence in this space was important, until they decided to pull back from the market in 2017. Now they are making steps to come back.

Founded in 1999.
