Yes, you're right. That's why we're primarily targeting a B2B market. Imagine that a gym has machines with our technology embedded. The gym's users would be able to seamlessly track their workout across different machines, just by using them as they normally would, no need for extra weight.

Note that, for continuous ECG monitoring, you need skin contact with 2 electrodes, from different limbs. That's why with Nymi, authentication is performed only once when the user puts it on, with one finger touching the visible electrode (the other electrode is on the underside of the band). In this case, there is no continuous verification of identity, or other parameters.
