ZEN PLACE Enhances Health Monitoring Integration

On August 19, 2025, ZEN PLACE announced an exciting expansion of its health care integration features, set to launch in mid-September. The ZEN PLACE app, previously compatible only with Apple Watch, will now integrate with four major health monitoring devices: Oura, Garmin, and Fitbit. This enhancement enables a broader range of users to continuously visualize their mental and physical states through the app.

Background of ZEN PLACE

ZEN PLACE places a strong emphasis on integrated health encompassing the mind, body, and brain. The company has consistently developed services grounded in scientific research, focusing on vital indicators such as resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and sleep quality. Given the increasing popularity of various wearable devices beyond Apple Watch, ZEN PLACE recognized the necessity to incorporate diverse data sources to promote personalized awareness and encourage behavior changes among users.

To further enhance users' understanding of their health, ZEN PLACE is also working on measuring 'Total Power', an indicator of autonomic nervous balance. This integrated data will allow for a more comprehensive analysis of an individual's well-being.

Details of the Update

The upcoming update will allow users of Oura, Garmin, and Fitbit to connect their devices to the ZEN PLACE app. Users will be able to obtain valuable health metrics, including:

• - Resting Heart Rate: Provides insights into an individual’s foundational physical condition.
• - Heart Rate Variability (HRV): Estimates the state of autonomic nervous balance.
• - Sleep Quality: Analyzes ratios of deep sleep and REM sleep among other parameters.

All biometric data gathered from these integrated devices will be centrally managed in ZEN PLACE's cloud system, ensuring data accuracy and standardization. This will serve as the foundation for implementing personalized algorithms in the future.

Future Prospects

With the integration of multiple devices, ZEN PLACE will have access to a more multifaceted collection of biometric data. This will facilitate scientific verification of lesson efficacy and bolster AI-based insights. Beginning in August 2025, ZEN PLACE will also start collecting Total Power data, paving the way for 'Personalized Well-being Navigation' that recommends optimal activities related to users' specific timing and needs.
