The AIRO wristband from the startup AIRO Health automatically monitors your nutrition intake, stress patterns, daily exertion, and sleep quality. What makes it stand out from other traditional health trackers is that it combines sleep, exercise, and stress tracking along with your calorie intake.
How Does the AIRO Wristband Track Your Nutrition?
The AIRO makes use of a special built-in spectrometer that is embedded on it to track your calories consumed and the quality of your meals. The information will be displayed on the AIRO app installed on your device.
What Is a Spectrometer Doing in a Health Tracker?
Nutrients have different light properties. When the human body breaks down the food during and after meals, the spectrometer will detect the amount of light that passes through the bloodstream based on green, red, and infrared patterns. If you ate a candy, the wristband will show an increase in sugar intake. Not just sugar intake, it also displays protein, fats, and carbohydrates.
How Does It Track Your Stress?
AIRO monitors your stress levels based on your heart rate. If the band senses you are at a high stress level, it will vibrate to alert you. The AIRO app will suggest you take breathing exercises or some sleep whenever required.
How Does It Monitor Your Exercise?
Like it monitors stress, it makes use of your heart rate along with calories burned and counting steps to monitor the intensity of your workout. If you worked out too much, the app will suggest you take rest for you to get back on track.
How Does It Monitor Your Sleep?
AIRO tracks your circadian rhythm and can see distinct sleep cycles. The band will wake you up at the right time when required by vibration. The app shows the hours you slept along with related information.
The AIRO not only warns you but also provides recommendations to deal with it. Slowly, AIRO gets smarter by learning your health patterns. AIRO will be available sometime in 2014. To know more about when it will be available, visit their website.
