HeartBeat Corporation was co-founded on December 24, 1991[1] by Adam Benjamin[4][5],and worked with Sega of America and Electronic Arts.[4]
HeartBeat Catalyst
- Main article: HeartBeat Catalyst.
In November 1993, HeartBeat Corporation released the HeartBeat Catalyst, a Sega Mega Drive exercise peripheral with fitness sensors which detect heart rate, motion, and skin salinity levels for in-game feedback. While the company claimed that a number of games were planned to be compatible with the peripheral, the only title to ever utilize the hardware's unique capabilities was the HeartBeat Corporation-produced Outback Joey (the peripherals's pack-in game.) Contrary to popular belief, the HeartBeat Catalyst does not require the related HeartBeat Personal Trainer to operate.[1]
HeartBeat Personal Trainer
- Main article: HeartBeat Personal Trainer.
Sold alongside the HeartBeat Catalyst was the HeartBeat Personal Trainer, a bundle comprised of the Catalyst hardware and a fitness-themed Sega Mega Drive (and still including Outback Joey. Contrary to popular belief, the HeartBeat Personal Trainer is not required by the related HeartBeat Catalyst to operate.[1])
