1.5 months ago, the domestic new hardware manufacturer PICOOC just completed a 21 million dollar B round financing, in the last week, 36 Krypton Shenzhen Open Day, we invited Picooc co-founder Mengfandi, he shared with us the PICOOC product story and some unique ideas in design.
1 Picooc currently only intelligent weighing a product, although widely praised in the industry, but the current health management in China has not attracted enough attention to the people, for this environment, Mengfandi that with the increase of national income, the improvement of living standards, health management in China will certainly form a large market, This will lead to more and more demand. When your living standard is elevated to a certain stage, you may notice your body. It was used to exchange money, and now it's for the body.
2 In addition to the smart scale, PICOOC why did not do smart sphygmomanometer and smart bracelet? Mengfandi gave the answer is that PICOOC has not thought that the hand ring is just needed, and on the scale of this piece, we still think it has a lot of places to dig, but also can do better.
In fact, including Sphygmomanometer Picooc also done a large number of user surveys, including the current domestic sphygmomanometer more famous Omron, although the technology is very mature, but many users do not believe that the electronic sphygmomanometer measurement results. Most hypertensive patients frequently pressure, he is needed to buck, to take medicine, once he has no trust in this thing, it has no meaning. At present, the most accurate measurement of the hospital is the kind of mercury pressure sphygmomanometer, so the biggest problem now is that no one believes that the accuracy of electronic sphygmomanometer measurement.
3 PICOOC After the smart scale, what will be the next product? Mengfandi said PICOOC will have new products in August, but the specific product types he didn't talk about.
4 Why did Picooc decide to cancel the LCD screen of the smart scale? Will it be added to the second generation of products? Mengfandi said the screen was removed because we bought a lot of previous body fat scales to see, body fat scales and scales are still different, body fat will show a lot of things, including water, bone and so on, but on such a small screen, you can not see the bow, and even if you see it has no meaning, We just make this data more meaningful. Mobile phones are now a necessity in life, you're basically bringing your cell phone with you anywhere, and we're just on the traditional product, putting meaningless data, meaningless little screens, and even things you can't see into your phone to show more value.
Mengfandi also felt that this was an evolution, and of course the market also proved that PICOOC's product sales are far greater than the competitors with the screen products, which fundamentally prove that consumers are accepted.
5 What if your design concept conflicts with your research and development department and hardware department? Mengfandi thinks this must be a comprehensive look, as a designer, must be a comprehensive understanding of the situation, for example, I previously in Huawei mobile phone, must go to the Foxconn factory "squat" one months, I do not mean to do so, but I am very understanding of the process, very understanding of technology, very understanding of hardware, and even the stacking of architecture on the basis of To do the active adaptation.
