Healbe GoBe: "smart" fitness bracelet of Russian design
Vladimir Paramonov, Compulenta
The project of a "smart" GoBe physical activity monitor developed by the Russian company Healbe has been funded with great success in the Indiegogo crowdfunding system.
We have already talked about many fitness trackers. Among them are Fitbit Force, PUSH, Bowflex Boost, Angel and some others.
"Smart" fitness bracelet Healbe GoBe (here and below the developer's image).
The GoBe product, according to the creators, differs from other similar products by "the most accurate and comprehensive information about the vital signs of the body."
The novelty is equipped with three sensors: an accelerometer, resistance sensors and heart rate. This allows you to measure a variety of indicators, in particular heart rate, the number of calories received and spent, sleep quality, body weight changes and even the level of stress and dehydration.
The obtained indicators are transmitted wirelessly via Bluetooth to the mobile application, which will be available in versions for Android and iOS operating systems. There, the data is analyzed and presented in an easy-to-understand form: users will be able to view graphs, evaluate the dynamics of data changes over time, etc.
According to available information, the bracelet is made on an ARM architecture processor. It is equipped with a monochrome indicator that displays the current time and some other indicators. A microUSB port is used to recharge the battery: it is claimed that the fitness tracker can function for three days during "normal use".
At the time of writing this note, there was almost $670 thousand in the Indiegogo piggy bank. This is more than six times more than the $100 thousand initially requested by the developers. There is less than a month left until the end of the fundraising.
So far, you can order a "smart" bracelet at an estimated price of $ 200. Deliveries are due to start in June.
