If you are interested in monitoring your hydration
levels and body composition, you may be interested in a new fitness tracker and
smart band equipped with bioimpedance analysis technology, designed by Eugene
Idrisov. Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the AURA Band,
which has this week launched via Kickstarter with the aim of raising US$ 100,000
over the next 34 days.
The AURA Band claims to be a next-generation fitness
tracker which is capable of indicating when your fat, muscle volumes or
hydration levels change, as well as being able to count your steps and monitor
your heart rate. All of which are used to provide you with insights about your
body’s health and even reward your efforts using AURA coins which can be in
exchange for real-world gifts and discounts.
For those unfamiliar with Bioimpedance, it is a new
state-of-the-art technology and the basis for creating the AURA Band.
Bioimpedance analysis, or BIA, allows the smart band to generate a picture
about your bodies current physical health using your muscle, fat and water
volumes. To take a reading you simply loop your hands around the AURA Band, tap
the device twice and hold the position for five seconds. Once activated the
band creates a low-voltage electrical signal providing both an active and
reactive measurement on the resistance of your tissues. Using other metrics
such as your gender, age and weight the AURA Band can then determine body
composition and hydration level data providing suggestion son how to improve
your health.
With pledges starting from US$ 89 for early bird
backers the AURA fitness tracker is expected to start shipping out to backers
during August 2018 if the Kickstarter campaign is successful and all goes well
with production.
