Healables – ElectroGear
Wearable Sports and Performance Recovery Gear
If you’re an avid exerciser, you know that it can sometimes take a few days to recover after a tough workout. Healables, an Israeli wearables and textiles company, may have come up with a solution for this dilemma. It manufactures ElectroGear, a line of wearable sports and recovery gear that includes an arm and leg sleeve. The gear is meant to help athletes with the post-workout recovery process by using electron stream technology to charge their cells.
Electrotherapy, such as electrical stimulation has traditionally been used in physical therapy settings to help patients in pain by stimulating the injured muscle. There have even been studies that show that electrical stimulation can be used to heal chronic injuries. According to Healables, its wearables speed up recovery by putting energy back into your body, relieving pain, and increasing performance.
Valencell
Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitor
Digital health company, Valencell, revealed the first cuffless blood pressure monitor last year at CES 2023. Instead of relying on a traditional blood pressure monitor, Valencell created a blood pressure reading device that doesn’t require calibration or a cuff. Instead, it resembles a pulse oximeter that clips on your finger. The device can read your diastolic and systolic numbers. Valencell has also developed an algorithm that can measure blood pressure patterns. It also connects to an app on your smartphone via Bluetooth.
ZeroWheel
Smart Ab Roller
Smart fitness equipment continues to evolve. ZeroWheel is a lightweight and portable exercise wheel that can be used for core exercises, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced athlete. It can be programmed in four different modes using an electric motor that can adjust resistance in multiple directions. It starts with plenty of assistance for beginners and ramps up to intense resistance, so you can adjust the mode as you get stronger.
ZeroWheel includes an app that can be easily accessed on your smartphone via Bluetooth, which tracks your stats while also providing feedback like a personal trainer. You can also compete with friends and family who own a ZeroWheel via the app.
TrueKinetix
TrueTrainer – Smart Indoor Cycling Trainer
TrueKinetix, an indoor cycling technology company claims it’s the first smart indoor cycling trainer. The TrueTrainer was designed to make indoor cycling mimic outdoor cycling by using robotics and AI-based patented TrueForce Technology instead of a flywheel, which is typically found in standard indoor bikes.
The trainer can configure virtual gears to help the bike adapt to any type of training. For example, if you’re training for a hilly race, but there are no hills in your area, the virtual gears can help mimic riding on hills.
The TrueTrainer can generate a maximum resistance of 2,600 watts and simulate up to a 15% gradient incline, so the workout feels more real and challenging to the user.
BlazePod
BlazePod – Reaction training pods
BlazePod is a reaction training device that challenges your cognitive responses using flashing light pods. It’s intended for users of all ages and fitness levels and is designed to challenge your natural response to sensory stimulations. The pods are portable and flash different colored lights at various speeds, sequences, and frequencies to keep you alert as you tap the appropriate flashing pod. The fitness device is supposed to help improve speed, strength, agility, decision-making, reaction time, and overall performance.
Baracoda
BBalance – Smart Bathmat
Baracoda’s BBalance mat is most unique. It’s the first smart bathmat on the market that functions like a scale but claims to be more than that. It measures your weight, body composition, balance, and posture. Other features include a personalized coaching experience with a library of short exercises to help improve balance, strengthen leg muscles, and improve flexibility.
The way BBalance works is through its patented pressure mapping technology that consists of 2,800 AI sensors. The mat can measure users (including pets) weighing between 11 and 440 pounds, so it’s suitable for most people. The pressure-mapping technology can also save 100 unique profiles and can accurately detect different family members when they stand on the mat by recognizing their Footprint ID. The mat can be connected to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth and is water-resistant and machine-washable. It also has an eight-month battery life before it needs to be recharged.
