On February 8, 2010, Edward Sazonov, Physical Activity Innovations LLC, was awarded the title of Bluetooth Innovator of the Year for 2009.

Sazonov received this recognition at a ceremony held at the Wearable Technologies Show at ispo 2010, a trade show for sporting goods.

The award includes a cash prize of € 5, 000 and a Bluetooth Qualification Program voucher ( QDID ) valued at up to US $ 10, 000.

Sazonov ’ s idea, The Fit Companion, is a small, unobtrusive sensor that, when clipped-on to a user ’ s clothing or integrated into a shoe, provides feedback about physical activity.

The data, transmitted via Bluetooth, can help individuals to lose weight and achieve optimal physical activity.

Intended for use in both training and daily activities like walking or performing chores, this simple measuring device may offer a solution for reducing obesity.
