Mio PAI and Garmin

Gizmo over 4 years ago

Short question:

Is there or will there be an equivalent of Mio PAI in our watches?

I think it's just a matter of proper calculation algorithms, no additional sensors needed.

I don't think there is now, but it would be nice if someone made an IQ-app for it.

I think they are called PAI Health now - https://www.paihealth.com.

If that's what you mean, yes they integrate with Garmin - on the server side rather than device. As soon as you sync your watch you can view updated PAI stats either on PAI's mobile app or web site.

Oh, I didn't know about it. But I do not see it directly on the Garmin portal, needed integration with this https://www.paihealth.com ?

Go here and follow the instructions - www.paihealth.com/get-the-app

Ok, but it does not change the fact that Garmin, when creating sports watches, could think about implementing it on its website in the future

PAI Health is a seperate company, which owns the intellectual property and has their own business model. Garmin now owns the consumer facing portion of Firstbeat, so I'd guess that this is the similar feature that's most likely to appear in new devices - www.firstbeatanalytics.com/.../

... in new devices? Because in the old ones you can't, it's just soft, algorithms. Got it, marketing, let the customer buy a new product ...
This means that Xiaomi has a contract with painhealth, because it is already there in their new bands.

I tested the PAI Health app for Android. It seems to work fine with Garmin Connect, so I am getting PAI points on the phone app now. Still no support for PAI points on the watch itself.
