A smart bracelet that combats sleep apnoea<\/h2>\n<p>French startup Kyomed specialises in personalised medicine, and e-health technology company Neogia teamed up with them to design a next generation health wearable that fights sleep apnoea. The collaboration yielded the Motio HWTM, a connected bracelet for patients suffering from the breathing disorder. Sleep apnoea causes pauses in breathing, and it\u2019s estimated that 6 percent of the world&#8217;s population suffers from this condition, which can go unrecognised for decades. In fact, 90 percent of sleep apnoea cases are never diagnosed. Kyomed and Neogia think millions will benefit from this high-tech gadget and its \u201cpersonalised artificial intelligence that learns about the user.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Motio HWTM bracelet collects biometrics data such as heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation and sends it to an app on your smartphone. Then, its smart algorithms process the data to assess your sleeping profile. When it detects a variation in this established pattern, it lets you know immediately, potentially saving you from dying in your sleep.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32860\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32860\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32860 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/gadget-1.jpg\" alt=\"Black smart bracelet worn on a woman\u2019s wrist\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32860\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">French startup Kyomed specialises in personalised medicine, and e-health technology company Neogia teamed up with them to design a next generation health wearable that fights sleep apnoea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>2. Qardio\u2019s chest strap monitors more than just your heart rate<\/h2>\n<p>Qardio\u2019s latest high tech gadget is a medical-grade ECG (electrocardiogram) chest strap called the QardioCore. This wearable collects and sends real-time data on your vital signs to your phone, monitoring your temperature, pulse and respiration rates and blood pressure. Rosario Ianella, Qardio&#8217;s CTO, emphasised that \u201ccardiovascular health is the biggest health challenge in the developed world and with QardioCore, we make it easier, better and more cost-effective for everyone.\u201d These are details your doctor needs to know, and the &#8220;the ability to view and analyse such important data remotely and in context, as it is being generated, can substantially enhance the diagnostic yield.\u201d For those of us who aren\u2019t physicians ourselves, this means that the QardioCore\u2019s real-time data collection can help your doctor diagnose a heart condition before you have serious symptoms, potentially saving your life. It\u2019s also really useful for people who\u2019ve already been diagnosed with heart trouble as it helps them keep an eye on their health.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32862\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32862\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32862 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/qardiocore-1.jpg\" alt=\"White QardioCore device on man\u2019s chest peaking through his unbuttoned white shirt\" width=\"800\" height=\"394\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32862\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This wearable collects and sends real-time data on your vital signs to your phone, monitoring your temperature, pulse and respiration rates and blood pressure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>3. Aira smart glasses help the visually impaired to see in real-time<\/h2>\n<p>Aira has developed smart glasses to help the blind and visually impaired with everyday tasks; from shopping to hiking and travelling. This wearable, based on Google Glass, is not designed as a replacement, but rather as an extension of or enhancement to \u201ctraditional methods such as a guide dog or a white cane.\u201d And what\u2019s so great is that users navigate the world as they normally would, but with the help of a phone camera and smart glasses, they can call an Aira Agent \u2013 a trained professional \u2013 to assist at any time. The Aira Agent is able to see a live video, assist the user and help them experience the world.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Bloomlife&#8217;s baby bump pregnancy wearable: no more false alarms<\/h2>\n<p>Bloomlife, a San Francisco-based startup, has created a pregnancy wearable. Attached to a woman\u2019s belly, it measures contractions by reading \u201cthe electrical activity of uterine muscle.\u201d The real-time data is sent to phone apps for iOS and Android, and it can accurately keep track of contractions. Even though it doesn\u2019t serve as a diagnostic tool, it can still help a mother-to-be learn more about her body, and maybe save her from going to the hospital when she doesn\u2019t (yet!) need to.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Bloomlife Pregnancy Tracker Tells Mom She&#039;s In Labor\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SBRy5SdFXdY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>5. 2breathe: a smart wearable that helps you fall asleep effortlessly<\/h2>\n<p>The Tel-Aviv- based company, 2breathe Technologies Ltd, designed Sleep Inducer, a gadget you tie around your torso. It offers a real-time coach for guided breathing, which is proven to help you relax and fall asleep more easily. This smart gadget induces sleep \u201cvia guided breathing, using a full-pattern Bluetooth respiration sensor and patented real-time coaching technology.\u201d Prolonged exhalation, induced with the \u2018guiding tones\u2019, reduces neural sympathetic activity, and eventually helps you fall asleep. It can also provide a detailed assessment of your sleeping session, helping you choose a breathing exercise that best suits your needs. Insomniacs will love it!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32864\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32864\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32864 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/Started-business.jpg\" alt=\"Woman sleeping with a smartphone on the nightstand in front of her coaching her sleep\" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32864\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This smart gadget induces sleep \u201cvia guided breathing, using a full-pattern Bluetooth respiration sensor and patented real-time coaching technology.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>6. Traditional thermometers will soon be a thing of the past with TempTraq<\/h2>\n<p>The hassle of checking someone&#8217;s temperature might soon be a thing of the past. A team from Blue Spark Technologies, best known for their carbon-zinc batteries, are now coming with another useful innovation \u2014 TempTraq. The TempTraq is a temperature monitoring device that consists of a patch and a free app. Maybe the best thing about TempTraq is its ease of use. By placing the patch on the underarm, the patch tracks and sends temperature information via Bluetooth to the smartphone. Through an app, the user has access to precise temperature measurements, between 87.0 to 109.3\u00b0F, in real time over a number of hours. The TempTraq is a single-use device, and it comes in three different forms: a 24h patch, a 48h patch, and a 72h temperature patch. The device is especially efficient for patients that need constant monitoring.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32866\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32866\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32866 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/temptraq-1.jpg\" alt=\"A baby sleeping and wearing device for measuring his temperature\" width=\"800\" height=\"432\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">By placing the patch on the underarm, the patch tracks and sends temperature information via Bluetooth to the smartphone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>7. Bodytrak&#8217;s smart earphones measure all your vital signs<\/h2>\n<p>Working out without keeping tabs on your progress is like driving to an unfamiliar place and forgetting how to go back there again next time. Fortunately, Bodytrak offers a solution. The Bodytrak device is an earpiece gadget that uses sensors to record information about heart rate, temperature, the amount of oxygen the user gets, or the speed and distance he runs or walks. Bodytrak&#8217;s designers are confident in their technology, claiming it&#8217;s more reliable than other &#8211; mostly wrist-worn &#8211; wearables. And they might have a point because Bodytrak is designed as an earpiece. And since the ear is closest to the brain, it&#8217;s the only place where all vital signs can be measured together with accurate results.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32868\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32868\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32868 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/Bodytrak-1.jpg\" alt=\"Two Bodytrak earpiece devices placed on a shiny black surface\" width=\"800\" height=\"445\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32868\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Bodytrak device is an earpiece gadget that uses sensors to record information about heart rate, temperature, the amount of oxygen the user gets, or the speed and distance he runs or walks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>8. S-Skin promises clearer, tighter complexion<\/h2>\n<p>Not only do our phones and other gadgets become smarter with each passing day, now we can have smart skincare, too. Samsung developed a personalised skincare device called S-Skin. The set comes with a portable LED device, microneedle patches and a smartphone app. Using a variety of sensors, this LED device can analyse and determine your skin type and recommend the best skincare regime for your particular skin. All the information collected by the S-Skin device is sent to a smartphone app, where the user can fill out a few questionnaires. Based on the data collected from the sensors and answers provided by the user, the device recommends the perfect skincare regime. The next step in S-Skin&#8217;s concept are microneedling patches. These patches come in two forms; an eye patch designed to firm the skin around the eyes, and a spot patch used to heal problematic skin issues such as red spots, wrinkles or acne. Microneedling patches can change colour according to the user&#8217;s body temperature, and the medicine they hold penetrate deeper into the skin than conventional skincare products.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32870\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32870\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32870 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/skin.jpg\" alt=\"The S-Skin device with infrared LED lights connected to an app featured on a smartphone \" width=\"800\" height=\"451\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32870\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The set comes with a portable LED device, microneedle patches and a smartphone app.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>9. The synthesis of technology and elegance: Motiv&#8217;s Fitness Ring<\/h2>\n<p>We are used to seeing <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/en\/4-ways-in-which-technological-innovation-enhances-athletic-performance\/\">fitness wearables<\/a> designed to be worn around the wrist, but Motiv developed a rather unique fitness device \u2014 the Motiv Ring. The fancy Ring serves as a pedometer by tracking the number of steps you take, but it can also measure your heart rate and monitor your sleep patterns. It&#8217;s connected to a smartphone app where you can keep track of your activity. Made out of titanium, this device is waterproof and has a rechargeable battery that can last up to five days, depending on your activity. The Ring is equipped with an LED light that signals charging time. Apart from its high-tech capabilities, designers also paid particular attention to its simple yet elegant design.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_32874\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-32874\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-32874 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.richardvanhooijdonk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/ring.jpg\" alt=\"A man running with a black smart ring on his right hand\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-32874\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We are used to seeing fitness wearables designed to be worn around the wrist, but Motiv developed a rather unique fitness device \u2014 the Motiv Ring.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Wearable health gadgets keep a close eye on your wellbeing<\/h2>\n<p>We live in an era in which tech innovations have become so refined that in some cases they\u2019re even stylish.
