EMBRACE : A Health Watch
Embrace a new medical life saver for you.Embrace is just like a watch but can track your health with it's advanced innovations.Embrace is just like your smart-watch but which just monitors your health. Embrace is stylish looking watch which has metal case wrapped around leather straps.
Embrace is a medical quality device to monitor and better understand your behavior. Embrace is the thinnest among it's class ever made.
Embrace is quite a unique concept which can monitor and understand better your behavior using it again and again.Embrace is developed in the MIT labs and futher funded by many organizations. the main idea around which Embrace is developed is to bring a better lifestyle to people that live with Epilepsy: they get an alert when an unusual event happens, like a convulsive seizure, warning them and their loved ones.Not only that Embrace also can check your entire day in a glance in a way that is easy to understand. Not only during exercise, but also at work, during your commute, during the night. If you push yourself too much, the Embrace will gently remind you with a vibration, that you need some time to recover. You can also customize it to suit your needs and behavior. It helps you to adapt a better lifestyle.
To understand better ; When Epilepsy people wear Embrace, they will get an alert when an unusual event happens, like a convulsive seizure. These alerts will be received on smartphone to parents, roommates or anybody who can check on them. If a person wears a ‘companion’ Embrace , it has additional feature like if the two Embraces are within some specified range the ‘companion’ Embrace worn by the person will vibrate to alert them and save a person.
It has a Electrodermal sensors which help Embrace to understand your behavior. Electrodermal activity, or EDA, is autonomic data that is activated by regions deep in the brain involved in emotions such as fear, anxiety, and positive excitement. It is strongly activated during the kinds of seizures that involve a region of the brain that has been shown to shut down breathing.
Embrace will come with two apps:
(1) Empatica Mate : Basically personal stress, sleep, and activity feedback. Empatica Mate also comes with a diary for understanding better your daily life.
(2) Empatica Alert : an event detector for people with Epilepsy.
Empatica Mate : This app will provide you with customized insights on your behavior. You can set up Embrace to vibrate when you reach a certain level that you want to monitor. For example, you can set it to vibrate gently when your body’s stress level is climbing, before it gets too high, while you can still have a positive response.
Empatica Alert : This will be able to monitor events that might be a convulsive seizure, and get an alert that will go both to the wearer (where it can be silenced if needed) and to selected family members or friends who can bring help.
Embrace comes in two sizes a normal one and a small one for the kids. It also has a variety of colors of leather straps. Though it's not a smart watch it is building it's own segment.Even when we see the smart watch we feel uncomfortable , as not used to it, but carrying another device to track is pain.It would be necessary for some patients but for a normal person it feels another gadget attached to the body. If Embrace would be a combination of both medical-smart watch it would be a different ball game.In all the device is a great take on it's concepts.
WOULD YOU BUY ONE OR WAIT FOR SOMETHING THAT HAS ALL FEATURES IN IT?
