CNET News - Samsung introduces newest Simband health tracker

2014-11-12
so we have what we call symbol now integrated with the world most advanced sensor modules and this is available for the research and developer community for developing different sensors algorithms and applications around digital health it is not a commercial product but a reference designs to advanced digital health basic sensor modules that we include we sim band is what we call sim sense so what we have in here are a couple of sensors on the optical side over here you have multiple LEDs illuminating light in different wavelengths into the wrist when I'm in the monitor mode 100 times a second all of the channels is being transmitted to the cloud and that allows scientists to interface with it in the cloud don't have to worry about hardware and devices and go analyze the information as a result we're able to extract things obviously like how tight but also extract other variables like spo2 of co2 so the combination of all of those together with temperature as well as acceleration in motion let's researcher develop some of the most advanced algorithm synthesizing and combining the different information the electrical information with the optical information and that enables them to get much deeper insights into actually what's happening inside of our body the other part in here is something that we introduced it's a whole new concept called spot-check and when I activate the spot check this is like the electric version or the 21st century of the nurse's station I'm telling it I'm standing and it's simply asking me to hold my hand aim stationary for about 20 seconds I have to keep the ball in the center and now we are taking this stationary information which is consistent and high-quality and send it over to the cloud for developers to go analyze it stress level for example we usually have about a two thousand nineteen hundred in my case that I've been tracking very nicely and interestingly before you go on stage I've found a number to almost double you will go offstage it went all the way back down looking at my blood pressure throughout the day seeing how it changes seeing how many how tight and the tenth of the day it changes has been giving me very interesting insights around the small things that really affect my health like the SS special that I was taking earlier or my weakness to all the desserts so there is the insight and being able to take this information presented to the user in change behavior that's the biggest potential of the technology and that's where you want to take
