Polar launches first B2B wearable for workplace use

Polar has unveiled the Polar 360 sensor band, its first B2B wearable designed specifically for workplace applications.

The screenless, compact device collects biometric data such as heart rate and skin temperature to support employee health and performance monitoring. Consumers can wear it on the wrist or other areas, such as the upper arm, and integrates with company apps through Polar’s API or allows for custom algorithm development via its SDK.

Applications include monitoring driver alertness in logistics, personalizing corporate wellness programs, and identifying risks such as burnout, fatigue, or exposure to extreme temperatures. Polar says its technology is backed by nearly 50 years of experience and involvement in over 14,000 health studies. It ensures reliability and compliance with privacy standards.

B2B wearables in the workplace are expected to improve operations across industries, said Zachary Robichaud, instructor at the Ted Rogers School of Management, Toronto Metropolitan University and according to Pymnts.com.

“Wearables have the potential to provide real-time insights, improve communication, and enhance ergonomics and safety,” Robichaud said. “In sectors like manufacturing, health care, and logistics, they can monitor worker health, reduce injuries, and facilitate hands-free communication.”

This shift toward business applications “signals a maturing of the wearable market beyond consumer products,” Robichaud added, noting that businesses will prioritize scalability, security, and system integration as adoption grows.
