The 11 professional exercise modes put the Xiaomi Mi Band 5 on the top cadre of smart bands. Also, the 24-hour heart rate sleep monitoring + female health (physical period, ovulation period recording, reminder) is quite interesting. Furthermore, this band also supports stress monitoring, sedentary reminder, step recording, and PAI vitality index evaluation.
The PAI function is another health tracker on the Mi Band. A PAI value of below 100 shows that the user is at higher risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.
