The idea of creating this wearable heart rate monitor is called the UP3. It is said to be made comfortably that you will be able to wear in bed, easy to use and no need to change modes to capture the heart rate, and feed them knowledge that will better themselves when it come to making healthier choices to maintain that long-term health. With this new technology, Jawbone stands out better than any other company because they made their product do something that others couldn't. Everything comes down to how long a product can last. As a consumer you don't want to buy something that you plan on wearing throughout the day that is just going to die within a few hours. Battery life was the big factor in this creation.
Another way the UP3 stands out is because this invention can now monitor your heart rate during activity, resting heart rate which is then broken into sub categories like long term health, energy, and metabolic efficiency, and the measure your heart rate throughout the day. whether that's based on the food you eat, if you are staying hydrated or not, if you have stress or anxiety, and lastly the amount of coffee you drink.
Creating this heart rate monitor as advanced as it is to me is very smart. The way technology is today people are becoming more lazy than how it use to be. With this wearable monitor, it is helping us develop those healthy habits for long-term heart health. For all those who aren't able to sleep at nights, the UP3 can track and determine your REM and deep sleep stages. With how advanced this world is becoming, I really hope people start taking advantages of products like these to really benefit themselves in the long run.
The UP3 is just one of several new wristbands that has been innovated to benefit its consumers in multiple ways.
ReplyDeleteIt's important to maintain and evaluate your health, but it's also not cheap to do. Wristbands like this, as well as synced smartphone apps can allow the individual to monitor their own health without scheduling a costly appointment with a doctor.
Many people are starting to buy these health wristbands. I think it is a great idea. It helps keep track of your health. Keeps people on track and focused about their overall health. It is nice to see the different designs that are coming out. I think that would help increase its popularity.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is unfortunate that it costs people so much money for them to finally be concerned with there health, but its hard not to get excited about a product that can do so many different things. The big key with technology like this that you hit on is how long is it going to last. There are a lot of different wristband like this one on the market, but I think the UP3 can be one that is a success.
ReplyDeletei completely agree. WIth how fast technology grows, there may be a better product out which is why i dont feel that it should very expensive by any means.
DeleteI think as these become more popular and integrated into society they will become cheaper and i would probably look into using one if it became significantly cheaper
ReplyDeleteI think that these products are great. The promote living a healthy lifestyle by making activity easy to track. So many people don't take care of there bodies and this helps be an accountability for people in that area. Many of my friends have these and I have been thinking about investing in one myself. Although expensive, they are built to withstand exercise and adventure. I think that if someone is serious about what these tools do that the cost is worth the investment in a product that works.
