help Basis Peak FAQ
What health data did the Basis Peak track?
Basis Peak tracked measures such as heart rate, skin temperature, movement, and sleep-related patterns. Its value came from combining those signals into longer-term activity and wellness trends.
Could Basis Peak track sleep automatically?
The device was designed to monitor sleep without requiring the wearer to start a separate sleep session. It used movement and physiological signals to estimate sleep periods and stages.
What happened to the Basis Peak product?
Basis Peak was recalled in 2016 because some units could overheat and cause burns or blisters. Intel, which owned Basis, discontinued the product and shut down its services afterward.
How does Basis Peak differ from a modern smartwatch?
Basis Peak focused strongly on passive wellness and sleep tracking rather than apps, calls, or smartwatch features. Modern devices such as Fitbit and Apple Watch generally provide broader functions, but their exact sleep measurements are still estimates.
