Counting calories

Updated onApril 21, 2025

Aidlab use a proprietary algorithm to deliver accurate calorie burn estimation. Designed for precision, validated on hundreds of participants, and powered by real-time physiological data.

How We Estimate Calories

The number of calories you burn is not a guess. Aidlab uses a multi-layered approach to deliver real insights — not estimates.

At the core is a proprietary algorithm that combines:

• Heart rate, measured with a clinical-grade ECG sensor.
• Movement patterns, detected by onboard motion sensors.
• Training type, identified in real time during physical activity.
• User profile data such as age, sex, height, and weight.

This data fusion enables Aidlab to understand the intensity of your activity, not just the motion, and provide a reliable estimation of calorie expenditure throughout the day.

Scientifically Validated

Our algorithm has been developed and validated on data collected from hundreds of participants across a variety of activities — from walking and cycling to high-intensity interval training (HIIT). Thanks to this, it adapts to different body types, fitness levels, and exercise patterns.

Where to Find Your Data

You can view your calorie burn:

• In the Aidlab App, directly on the main screen in the Calories module.
• On your Aidlab Dashboard, accessible from any browser.

The values shown reflect the time you've worn Aidlab while it was actively connected to your phone. No connection = no data.

Make Sure It Works

To enable accurate calorie tracking:

1. Log in to the Aidlab App.
2. Wear Aidlab correctly and ensure it's connected via Bluetooth.
3. Complete your user profile with:
   • Age
   • Sex
   • Height
   • Weight

Missing any of this? You’ll still get data — just not with the same level of accuracy.

Why Calories May Not Appear

If you don't see any calorie data:

• Ensure you are logged into the app.
• Confirm that Aidlab was worn while connected to your phone.
• Verify that your profile data is filled out completely.

Calories are calculated only while wearing the device, and only when heart rate is available. Historical data is accessible per day — but only if Aidlab was worn during that time.
