MANILA, Philippines – Want to know in an instant how much weight you’ve gained, how much sleep you’re getting or simply put, whether you’re fit?

There’s the newest hardware option that serves as a wristband, app and data service that will help you track all these information.

The UP24 wristband connects wirelessly to your iOS® or AndroidTM device via Bluetooth® Smart to provide continuous feedback and in-the-moment notifications to help you achieve your goals, according to Jawbone®, considered a world leader in consumer technology and wearable devices, building hardware products, and software platforms powered by data science, which announced the launch recently.

The UP system uses your own data to deliver insights and celebrate milestones while challenging you to accomplish more each day and also gives you individually tailored reports on how your sleep and activity interrelate, according to the statement.

Designed for the way you live, UP24 features the same sophisticated form factor and technology that current UP users love. The smooth, hypoallergenic, medical-grade rubber exterior features a new, stylish textural design. Just like UP, UP24 is small and comfortable enough to wear throughout each day and night.

“The UP community has already logged more than 1 trillion steps and 100 million nights of sleep. It’s an astounding amount of data,” said Travis Bogard, vice president of product management and strategy at Jawbone. “UP24 is the first lifestyle tracker to help people make real sense of their data, understand their patterns over time and make smarter choices. The UP system pushes timely information to you to help turn your intentions into action – a gentle nudge suggesting an earlier bedtime if you want to meet your sleep target, or an alert that you have nearly reached your step target for the day.”

The UP system encourages and motivates you to take small steps that can turn into long-term progress – all based on your unique data from your UP or UP24 wristband:

  • Today I Will: The UP Insight EngineTM delivers simple, achievable opt-in commitments called “Today I Will” focused in one of three categories – sleep, movement, or water intake – that challenge you to accomplish a suggested goal in a day’s time.
  • Streaks & Milestones: As you continue to achieve your goals over time, the UP app rewards you with celebrations of your short-and long-term progress.
  • Activity Alerts: When using UP24, you’ll receive relevant move notifications from the UP app throughout the day. These personalized nudges are delivered at a time and place relevant to you – based on your data – all enabled by UP24.
  • Sleep Recovery: UP and UP24 users can get the benefit of the bands’ revolutionary sleep tracking system even if they occasionally forget to put their band in Sleep Mode. UP can estimate users’ sleep to provide an estimation.
  • Activity Log: The UP app lets you reflect on your recent activity by giving you a snapshot of the steps, sleep, workouts and meals you’ve logged since you last visited the app.
  • New Insights: After consistently tracking sleep and activity for several weeks, the UP Insight Engine will generate a personalized assessment of your steps and sleep.
  • Reminders: To stay on track, the UP system allows you to set tailored reminders that prompt you to conduct a desired task at a desired time. Customize your own reminder to complete a workout, get ready for bed, or take a pill, and UP will remind you with an app notification and gentle band buzz.

The UP app was recently updated with new weight management features that offer an easier, smarter way to track what you eat and manage your weight.

  • Personalized Food Library: Quickly see and select from the foods you eat most frequently, right from the front and center of your food-logging screen. More than a quarter of meals logged in UP include regularly consumed items, making easy access to them a time-saving shortcut. UP also surfaces foods that are commonly paired with the items you’re eating via Jawbone’s intelligent food database.
  • Food Score: Use UP’s food detail screen to quickly evaluate how healthy a dish is at a glance.

UP shows you the breakdown of healthy nutrients to less healthy nutrients for any given item, along with a new Food Score to help you quickly asses the overall healthiness of individual items and full meals. You’ll also see a rolling average of the score throughout your entire day.

  • Weight Goal: Log your weight and set a personal goal in the app to see your progress toward your target weight. UP will recommend a daily calorie goal and balance calories burned versus calories consumed to show you your remaining allowance for the day.

The UP24 band comes in three sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) and three colors (Onyx, Persimmon, and Pink Coral).

The UP app is available in 12 languages: English, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazilian), Russian, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
