CliMate: Not in the chest of the "Meteorological Observatory", the new hardware does not have to be measured signs, do positioning

More and more wearable devices are now being used, but they are basically measuring physical signs or location information. Is this all that smart hardware can do? I think not.

Climate is a recently landed Kickstarter smart badge, can be placed in the bag, can be hung on clothes, or even anywhere you can think, to monitor temperature, humidity, ultraviolet data. When the data exceeds the safe range, such as Gale, Thunder, rainstorm weather, climate will automatically send the alarm through Bluetooth 4.0 will be transmitted to the corresponding mobile phone applications. This is very practical for outdoor sports people.

Climate's appearance design is also very characteristic, no longer is the square to behave the geometrical shape, but has made the similar cloud the lovable modelling, and the product localization is also very gentle. Climate is currently on the Kickstarter, with a current price of $39.

Vessyl: Fighter in the Smart Water Cup

The Vessyl Intelligent Water Cup was developed by Justin Lee, a student who studied biomedical computing technology for 7 years. Vessyl can detect the liquid in a cup from the "molecular level", which means it knows whether to pour in coffee or juice, which brand of coffee, caffeine content, fat, sugar, protein content, and other parameters. When you open the appropriate IOS or Android app, Vessyl will tell you the exact data about the drinks in the cup. At the same time, the cup body itself will be able to display the most important basic data, no iphone, also fully available.

Fineck: We really don't need a bracelet to step in, but don't really need a collar to protect the neck?

As a healthy step of the hand ring is a pompous market, many people are doing, the big head is two foreign countries to eat, temporarily see the opportunity. Try another part, like the neck ring?

Fineck was exhibited on the MDCC last November, worn around the neck to monitor the state of the human neck, as well as the waist and certain physical signs, and to make a comprehensive judgment and give health advice. The companion app has three main plates, namely the cervical vertebra health, the lumbar vertebra and the sitting posture as well as the daily movement condition. Fineck also has timing reminders, such as if you've been sitting too long or your head is too long, it can remind you to move your neck. Also in the development of a number of matching games, the equivalent of turning the neck into a handle, left dangling right can play some similar game of balance ball. These games mainly hope to increase the frequency of user use, but also to the boring cervical vertebrae add some interesting elements.

Neck health is definitely a big market to develop, think about how many people sit in front of the computer for a day. I have always felt that it is far more reliable to serve those who sit for too long than to wait on those who like sports. In the current environment in China, make new hardware friends, take a good look at the outside of the wrist, think about where you are uncomfortable, there are many opportunities.

CUE: help you keep track of more professional data about inflammation, vitamin D, etc.

Why do we have to go to the hospital? In addition to face-to-face communication with the doctor, professional inspection equipment is one of the important reasons. But if I tell you that some of the more professional tests are already done at home, will you be tempted?

Cue will be expensive and complex professional inspection equipment miniaturization, detection of relevant data, through Bluetooth 4.0 transmission to the mobile phone, generate a data statistics, users can monitor their physical condition at home. CUE currently supports five different types of tests to test testosterone (one type of sex hormone), fertility index, inflammation, vitamin D, and flu. After each test of a project, mobile phone-related APP will automatically generate a record point, and according to the user test time, arranged into a statistical map, in the relevant data down to the stability of the range, the app will send a notice to users, to provide users with some feasible suggestions.

However, cue successfully extended the "quantization ego" to a relatively more professional field, and this part of the data for the follow-up user's personal health management, medical guidance and other aspects of the more important significance.
