Healbe Corporation used CES to unveil GoBe, the device that is touted as 100% automatic whole body health manager which can measure a user’s calorie intake without any manual input (through the user’s skin).
GoBe combines data collected from an accelerometer, piezo pressure sensor, and an impedance sensor with an advanced algorithm to deliver insights into whole-body health. Users can view calories consumed, calories burned, activity level, heart rate, blood pressure, stress level, hydration level, and quality of sleep.
Like any other modern wearable, this one also syncs with an iOS or Android app to display specific data rather than averages or estimates, enabling users make healthier decisions in everyday life.
The company has worked with independent testing facilities in the U.S. and Russia where researchers found that GoBe accurately measures calorie intake, nutritional intake, and calories burned with an accuracy rate of 84 to 93 percent.
Right now, GoBe is in the development phase and won’t be released until later this year. From what we can tell, with its automatic tracking capabilities, it stands a chance to disrupt the market. We’ll see how that goes….
