Mia measures your activities and
automatically synchronizes the data.
Mia is based on top-notch research from NTNU and provides you with insights into your health. We track your activities over time so you can know if you're doing what's necessary to stay healthy. Research shows that if you are active enough, you live longer and reduce the risk of heart disease, dementia, and unhealthy weight gain.

Mia will tell you if you are active enough
Your AQ (Activity Quotient) tells how your physical activity from the past week benefits your health. Extensive research from NTNU shows considerable health effects from all AQ values of 25 and above, with optimal health in those staying above 100 AQ over time.
AQ is the perfect activity standard for men and women of all ages, including smokers and persons who are overweight, have high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes.
With AQ it's easy to reduce your risk of early death, research showing that increasing AQ values could add up to 13 healthy years to your life.

“ With enough physical activity over time, 70% of us can live on average 10 years longer and healthier years. Based on our very strong research, Mia makes it possible for everyone to achieve and measure the level of activity that is necessary to maximize health and lifespan.”
Set your personal
AQ goals
Your AQ is calculated from your personal heart rate curves over the past seven days. This is because your heart rate is the best measure of how hard you're working during an endurance activity.
AQ doesn't care about how many steps you take, how fast you move from A to B, or whether you're active every day. Since AQ only considers the effort you put into your physical activity, it tells equally much about health effects for the unfit and fit.
Thus, setting AQ goal of 50 or 100 might be just as achieveable for untrained persons as it is for very fit persons.
Improved health
Mia will give you insights and feedback on how your recent activities impacts your health. Your personal Fitness Age and VO2 max, based on research from NTNU, tells you how old your body actually is with high precision.
As physical fitness is a superior measure of overall health, a low Fitness Age and high VO2 max results in better sleep, more energy, improved mood and significantly reduced risk of a magnitude of diseases.
What is enough activity?
Mia Health will give you the answer
The new measurement standard introduced by NTNU is
AQ (Activity quotient).
AQ translates your heart rate from any physical activity and personal profile data (age, gender, resting and maximum heart rate) into easily understandable AQ points.
