Real Stories. Real Impact.

“Our program was stuck in 20th-century education. IHT has given us a gift to make a difference in every kid or student’s life. The impact can be lifelong.”

Scott Smith

San Bernardino CUSD

“The best part about using the (monitors)is the communication with the parents that it allows. The emails with the daily workout sessions are great for letting the students and the parents know what is going on in class.”

Jeff Miesner

Odebolt Arthur Battle Creek Ida Grove High School (Iowa) teacher
“The support I have received has been top-notch. Whether it has been to help problem solve the checking-in process, code re-writes, replaced malfunctioning Zones, straps, and sticker, the support has been amazing.”

Will Navis

“It has been so beneficial for the students to use them because I used to use pedometers and it just didn’t give the accuracy that a heart rate monitor it in terms of the effort.”
Kim McCool

Scripps Middle School, Mich.

“For parents, it gives them a way to see exactly what we are learning in the classroom. The HRM is going to tell the truth. Even if the student can’t articulate it, that’s okay. The data will speak for itself. That’s something that I am very interested in.”
Deak Swearingen
Ann Arbor Public Schools Adaptive Physical Education Teacher Consultant
“I’ve had quite a few kids who have said, ‘you know, when I reach my goal I feel really good inside.’ They’re relating that endorphin release and all that stuff now with hitting their target heart rate.”

  • The Spirit Monitor is designed for K-12 students, from elementary through high school.

  • The Spirit Monitor uses color-coded LED lights to instantly show which heart rate zone a student is in, giving immediate visual feedback on the student's wrist without requiring the student to view an app to get the feedback.

    The app also keeps and tracks this data for teachers, counselors, therapists, and parents.

  • The Spirit System monitors heart rate in real time on the student's wrist, syncs the data to the Classroom App or Individual App, and then stores and analyzes all of it in a central platform for long-term tracking and reporting.

This data syncs with the Spirit Software Suite, giving teachers, counselors, therapists, and parents actionable insights on each student's physical and emotional wellbeing.

This allows teachers to adjust activities to ensure students are exercising at healthy intensity levels while keeping the focus on personal growth rather than comparison. Individual data is used privately to support student progress, not to embarrass or single anyone out.
