Health-related tech has been at the forefront of recent times, with smartwatches able to keep track of your exercise routines, bodily functions, and even when you take a fall. And just when you thought there was no more room for innovation in the health tracking sphere, in steps ‘BHeart’ from Baracoda.
What sets BHeart apart is its unique source of energy, and no, it’s not solar-powered; it’s powered by you. That means that your body movements are a constant energy source for the tracker, so you’ll never have to remember to charge it again.
Baracoda employs a patent-pending technology known as BMotion that captures kinetic energy from environmental light, motion, and body heat as you go about your day, and translates it into power.
The energy gathered then powers up a range of sensors that can collect data regarding your health, activity level, sleep, and mental well-being. On top of that, to get your body and mind to be the best versions of themselves, it can offer personalized advice to improve your daily lifestyle.
The strap can be worn with various other smartwatches with a lug width of 18-22 mm or as a bracelet that can send your health indexes to a dedicated app. And, of course, it is capable with iOS and Android devices.
BHeart settles into a niche in the health tracker market, making it easy and accessible for people to use as customers don’t have to worry about their bands not being charged before heading out for the day.
If that wasn’t enough, the company has also placed sustainability at the core of the production of BHeart. The strap is made from plastic-free materials, sustainable leather, and lightweight alloys, which make it durable.
BHeart will begin sales in April and can be found on Baracoda’s website for a starting price of US$100.
