New high-tech wristbands measure calorie intake and consumption through the skin

In the fight against obesity, calculating the calories of each piece, every piece or every stick of food seems to be a big deal. But American companies claim to develop smart wristbands that can be used to calculate calorie expenditure by measuring changes in skin cell blood glucose levels and fluids.

HealBe GoBe's latest wearable technology device is designed to improve health. It was designed and developed by the Russian team.

The wristband uses an algorithm to analyze the data collected by the three sensors. These sensors monitor the body's physical changes during the day, walking, eating, sitting and sleeping.

The pulse sensor measures blood flow and heart rate. Accelerometers measure the movement and movement of the body, such as the number of steps.

The third sensor is called a bioimpedance sensor, which the company says can measure calorie intake. In theory, when people eat, carbohydrates are converted into glucose or sugar into the blood. The cells absorb glucose and use it to generate energy, during which body fluids are expelled.

The bioimpedance sensor uses a proprietary software to measure this change and convert it to a calorie value and display it on the wristband screen.

At the same time, the device also generates heat intake and calorie consumption information collected by other sensors, so that the wearer can see whether the amount of exercise in one day is enough to consume the amount of intake. Pulse information can be used to display stress levels, and sleep detection can be used to understand user sleep.

Although this theory seems reasonable and useful, is its calorie calculation scientifically justified?

During the equipment test, the tester consumed 555 calories, and the wristband accumulated by two and a half hours of calculations resulted in 515 calories. The American manufacturer said that the scientific nature behind the wristband has been verified by research.

If the error is corrected, the wristband will be available for sale at the end of this year for $299.99.
