Portrait on BodyMedia’s CEO Eric Teller [Forbes]
Teller, 34, is chief executive of BodyMedia, a company he cofounded six years ago in Pittsburgh. BodyMedia has sold 7,500 armband monitors, 2.9-ounce pods packed with six sensors absorbing physiological data 32 times a second. Wearers dump their data wirelessly to a PC, which sends them to BodyMedia’s computer servers to be analysed by 1,300 algorithms that figure out what that body is doing.
