Breezing, a startup based on technology developed by researchers at Arizona State University, is offering the world’s first portable device that can track an individual’s metabolism and use that information to provide diet and exercise recommendations for maintaining or reaching a healthy weight.

BIO 2014 attendees will have the opportunity to register to try out Breezing on the main stage at the Arizona Pavilion hosted by the Arizona Commerce Authority.

With a newly designed display area thanks to BizBox, Arizona is ready to connect with the world at the BIO International Convention in San Diego June 23 – 26, 2014.
