It records data directly onto the Garmin computer used by Astana – Premier Tech. The device offers accurate measurements and is the only wearable solution that captures highly accurate core body temperature without the need for an ingested or inserted thermometer.
The partnership with CORE will help Astana – Premier Tech optimize riding performance by leveraging CORE’s unique technology and expertise. It will enable coaches, nutritionists, and riders to make informed decisions based on core body temperature data.
CORE is a product of greenTEG AG, a Zurich-based company that develops and manufactures thermal sensors. CORE Body Temperature Monitoring provides an affordable, wearable, and convenient solution to accurately measure core body temperature in a non-invasive manner. The technology has been adopted by prominent athletes, teams, and national sporting bodies.
