'Up', a motion-sensing band connects with your smartphone through an app and tracks your daily activities, eating habits and sleeping patterns. Based on this information it provides you with personalized recommendations that can help you in improving your health.
It is a smart device that keeps a close tab on your physical activities, calories burnt, your active time during the day vs how lazy you get, number of hours you sleep, your light sleep vs deep sleep and when you let the app know what you ate during the day, it will help you in discovering foods that will make you feel healthier.
Here's how 'Up' can help you lead a healthier life:
Activity: Through shock-resistant motion sensor, 'Up' tracks your daily activities like the number of steps you take during a day, number of calories you burn, the distance you travel and also your active time vs. inactive time. It is intelligent enough to figure out when you've been inactive for a long time (sleep and nap excluded) and vibrates on your wrist to remind to move; you can always customize the interval and time-frame.
Sleep Patterns: Through precision motion sensor it tracks the number of hours you sleep and monitors your deep sleep and light sleep patterns. Not only does it learn your quality of sleep but also has quite a nifty built-in alarm system. Unlike other irritating alarms, it vibrates on your wrist only when it finds an 'ideal moment' in your sleep to wake you up; just before your desired wake-up time.
Meals: 'Up' encourages you to keep a food journal by taking picture of what you are about to eat. It then waits for you to digest your food and asks you how you feel after each meal (energetic, lethargic or regretful). Through this information it helps you discover food items that makes your body feel better and consequently healthier.
'Up' makes sure that it lets you know about every single calorie burned, whether its pacing up and down while talking on the phone, or rigorous workout in the gym; you could be dancing in a discotheque or jumping up and down in the shower. This sweat-proof and water resistant gadget that lasts up to 10 days on a single charge can change your entire lifestyle and inspire you to live a healthier life.
