The world of wearable technology has certainly taken
a slight shift in terms of its hardware. It is no longer limited to just
smartwatches alone, as there are many different kinds of tracking devices in
the market now. Healbe would like to stand out from the crowd with the GoBe 2
Smart Life Band.
The GoBe 2 claims to be the first and only wearable which will
be able to keep track of calorie intake, hydration levels and emotional state
automatically. All of these in the name of achieving one’s weight loss and
general health goals, something that many of us have at the start of each new
year.
The GoBe 2 is a second-generation device, with its
primary target being those who would like to lose some weight. Activity and
stress sensors work together alongside the patented Healbe FLOW Technology,
where it will then be able to monitor nine key health parameters. Some of the
health factors that are taken into consideration include calorie intake,
calories burned, energy balance, water balance, stress level, emotional state,
heart rate, sleep quality, distance traveled and number of steps per day.
It does so in a non-invasive manner, and to be able
to keep track of your emotional state is certainly not a common feature found
in other kinds of smart bands. Being sleeker in design and lighter than its
predecessor, the GoBe 2 has a stylish, contemporary black faceplate which
showcases easy to read bright blue characters as well as intuitive symbols and
notifications. All tracked data will be securely sent to smartphones and
portable devices over Bluetooth LE, which can be viewed on the Healbe GoBe
apps.
Expect the GoBe 2 to be available later this month
for US$ 179.95 apiece.
