For those who lead a healthy lifestyle and take care of their well-being, we present a list of technical innovations that are designed to help a person keep fit and at the same time facilitate this task.
Fitbit Smart Scale
A small revolution in the field of devices that are designed to monitor the physical form and health status. In addition to traditional functions, the smart scales not only tracks the body mass index, but also measures the amount of subcutaneous fat of the host, informing him of the successes he has achieved. All information about the health of the user via WiFi is sent to the special Internet service Fitbit, where it is converted into graphs and diagrams, helping to monitor the changes.
Tinké
Many companies have tried to create technically savvy devices that are designed to monitor the work of the heart, but best of all it turned out in the Singapore company Zensorium. Tinké is a small, colorful device that plugs directly into the iPhone. It is able to control the heart rate, blood pressure, as well as the level of oxygen in the blood.
Fitness Evolved headphones
Innovative headphones Fitness Evolved combine the functions of a chronograph, timer, and pedometer, and are able to monitor the heart rate. A very useful thing for sports: the owner listens to music, and multifunction headphones collect information about his health: calories burned, the state of the heart, the number of steps passed and the distance. These indicators can be saved on a computer and visualized in a graphical form.
Basis Band
Miniature watch includes many functions: measure the distance traveled, the expended calories, sleep time, fix the heartbeat and pulse. All collected information is transferred via USB to the computer and recorded in the personal profile of the owner. Basis Band has a removable panel, so you can choose any color for any clothing.
EmWave2
It will please workaholics, who are sometimes difficult to relax and people who often face stressful situations. This device contains a pulse sensor that collects data about the pulse of the host. EmWave2 will help a person see how his body reacts to stress.
Baby Watch
The purpose of this device is to provide the opportunity to observe the child 24 hours a day. It allows parents to watch the baby with Wi-Fi. For example, if you are worried about how a child feels when left with a nanny, then this device will be very useful.
Smart baby scale
Scales that are designed for weighing small children. At the bottom of the thicket there are divisions allowing to monitor the growth of the baby. The received data via Bluetooth is transferred to the iPhone and stored in a special application.
Smart fridge
The real kitchen king. Owners of a smart refrigerator can get information from the built-in computer system on their tablets and smartphones. Located on the door, the touch screen can easily give out recipes that are suitable for preparing dishes from the currently available products in the refrigerator. Also, owners of miracle equipment can learn about the weather without leaving the refrigerator and use the display as a notebook for notes.
Wahoo heart rate monitor
This device is attached to the chest and is designed to measure the heart rate. Wahoo heart rate monitor connects to a number of Wahoo applications. It is equipped with Bluetooth technology and sends tracked data to the iPhone.
IHealth Smart Glucometer
It was created in order to measure the level of sugar in the blood. Working with free software from iHealth Lab allows you to watch blood sugar charts for 7, 14 or 30 days. The owners of the device can set a reminder about taking the medicine, and also measure the amount of excess fat in the body.
