we all want to be that person the one who wakes up early dive straight into a morning meditation is super productive at work drinks those eight glasses of water and always hits the gym but let's be real living that life means building better habits and our brains want to follow the ones we already have not the new ones we're trying to cram in but sometimes all you need is the right nudge hi I'm Kayla and meet modi a smart companion for building better habits we created modi with a distinct purpose to empower people to take those small steps that over time result in big impacts in our health and happiness these more than just a cute face Modi is designed the latest insights from both behavioral science and social robotics when you place Modi in your home or office every time you walk by he becomes an instant reminder to keep committed each time you do your habit Modi is there to help you track and celebrate your small bits giving you that immediate gratification the better you get the more excited 30 cuz but slack off and Modi might get angry for sat or stay purely emerging Modi knows what works best for you because he's connected to the web he's constantly analyzing and evolving so he knows how you're progressing if you're at risk of falling off and when to send the right types of nudges specifically free compared all this to the same daily push notification you keep ignoring so how can something so simple actually change your behavior to tell you about how we form good habits let's start with something that we're all familiar with forming a bad habit boo cookie fundamentally your brain needs three things to form a habit a trigger a routine and a reward when I saw that plate of cookies I didn't even think about grabbing one my brain immediately triggered me and I knew that eating that cookie would reward me with its sweet Joey deliciousness your brain forms good habits in just the same way by completing this loop over and over again modi works by seamlessly integrating these three elements into your busy lifestyle modi himself is a trigger more specifically what's known as an environmental cue and by using modi your habit is already set up to be small distinct and actionable finally movie celebrations provide an immediate reward he makes sure that you feel satisfied and accomplished each and every time and perhaps big guilty if you're not Moniz the outcome of over a year of human centered design and engineering rigor we discovered that triggers and rewards driven by emotion are far more potent than numbers lists or alarms now we're finally ready to release movies straight to you the only question is what habit will you born when we can't help you magically climb Mount Everest or run a marathon overnight he's there to help you do something more essential become a better view one habit at a time hello I'm ah this is a tie he always loved eating he recently made a decision to eat healthier he recently made this decision every week for the past 10 years but it I did not improve his nutrition because well food is awesome and old habits die hard then he had this amazing idea what if he could create something that would go everywhere with him blog his eating habits analyze them and give him recommendations in real time this is how he came up with Brian Brian was he ties eating pal he was with him all the time and really cared about his nutrition reminding him to snack less chew more any better Brian was a hit soon enough everybody wanted one the sporty girl from the gym they always on a dive guy from the cafe and that woman who always snacks between meetings but as time went by ty felt like he needed to make something smaller more scientific and less awkward yeah so now back by leading academic clinical dietitians top nutritionists and experts in design engineering and software he's proud to introduce bit byte bit byte as a revolutionary tiny device that helps you track analyse and change your eating habits if the first ever wearable device that helps you improve your nutrition with bit bite you know exactly how much you eat how often and how fast it helps you make better decisions and follow them bit by this war on your ear like an earphone only unlike in your phone it doesn't lock airflow the earphones patent-pending design was specially designed for the shape of your ear so it would feel extra comfortable you can snap it onto the slim bracelet or pin and always have it with you bit byte analyzes your strange sounds and gathers information about your eating place and the number of choose you've made so it knows how much food you consume its app shows beautiful infographics of your eating habits and also helps motivate you to keep up with your goals you can tell bit by it's voice-activated sensors what you're eating and receive a daily automated food lock it's also designed to integrate with Apple watch Android wear and other fitness platforms and diet apps and it even functions as a great bluetooth headset bit byte uses pattern recognition and machine learning algorithms to study your eating habits it will give you live recommendations to help you achieve better outcomes say you usually have a snack at 10pm bit bite will notice and recommend some fruit at nine-thirty so you won't feel like snacking later on or if you're over eating at lunch bit bite will notice your poll and suggest you put your fork down even if you're not consuming enough calcium bed bite will notice it and recommend that you have a yogurt basic it's the missing link to a healthier you the thymus team have been working on bit by for a long time and they're ready for mass production all they need is your help so if you care about your nutrition support bit bite it will help you eat better feel better and be healthier bit byte jar bike is the easiest and quickest way to learn how to ride a bicycle using a jar by kids can learn a ride without training wheels or stabilizers and learn a ride in one afternoon as far as a child learning the rider bike confidences is everything having a product that it gives that stability from the outset could really fast track child's development and confidence in Saigon I mean as far as I'm concerned the the gyro bike is the paper clip of the bicycle world I mean why is why is nobody on it before it's such a brilliant concept well any spinning disk is a gyroscope it's just a matter of what you do with the gyroscope to put it to work for you when you spin a disc it creates a force it doesn't want to move off its axis what we do is we turn it on its side and when this spinning disc is tilted it actually turns the wheel so that the child can continue riding up right gyro bike has engineering happening all around the world and specifically in Holland we have advanced war going on with computer simulation models to understand the art of balancing a bicycle when a bicycle this is writing at a low speed in this model we can see a house table the bicyclist we implemented the gyro wheel into the model the gyro wheel is doing a great effort on under stability of the bicycle Jagran can help I could see the opportunity here not just for children but started to think about how this technology could help more people a lot of children with disability get left behind and therefore something that people take for granted like riding a bike and not being a 12 year old with stabilisers would give them so much confidence go Ani go well that's the farthest well up the first time she's ever actually got on a bike and being able to ride out you think it's it's really fascinating when you see the gyro bike for the first time and that it doesn't fall over and that's really revolutionary I haven't seen anything like that before I must be fantastic for a child's confidence when they're learning how to cycle from a customer perspective that that speed and simplicity of teaching the child the cycle that process can happen quickly then you know the learning becomes a small part of the journey and the child can can then start exploring and seeing how far they can go mark one was invented by the University students at Dartmouth and they produced a very successful product like all version ones in any product there's lots of learnings from it and we took all of that learning and put it into version to it the principal improvement in the in the new gyro bike wheel is the electronics are greatly improved the new product is more efficient it'll run longer it's lighter it'll produce more force and we've added a great deal of fun in the mega sound and the ability to change sounds after you've learned how to ride a bike using the product you can reduce the settings until the bike does less balanced and the child does more until it's completely turned off and if you want to make the bike lighter you can actually take the cover off remove the flywheel and put the cover back on we listen to our customers and we've developed a wireless control that allows you to change the stabilities chain to the audio function and also change the volume controls we've got as far as we can in terms of design and development and we're really looking for people to support us and get behind us so that we can move to the next phase of production and get this product out to as many people as possible I love bikes I grew up on bikes some of my best memories in life are on my BMX with my friends I want to instill that type of memory that type of love in product with anyone who touches his jar by genre by engineering is all about balancing 404 so we're always balancing and that's why our tagline is brilliantly balance I think any dog owner can relate to it you look into their eyes and share a brief connection and see that they really want to understand so when you think about trying to talk to your pet there's really only so much you can say but what if somehow you can communicate more what would you ask them first this was the inspiration for clever pet clever pad is an interactive device that reward your dog for solving simple puzzles we know that when your reward an animal for performing certain behavior it's more likely to perform that behavior again in the future we use this every time we try to get our doc to do something for a treat and to the most important factors of making this work or repetition consistency so clever that uses your dog's morning meal the time it spends at home to encourage interactions throughout the day it starts out simple your dog will get a treat whenever she presses any of clever bets buttons once she's got this down clever pit makes her job a little bit tougher now she only gets a treat when she presses the button that's lit up once she's learned that the game changes again clever pet gradually teaches her to interact a more interesting ways and she stays active and happy all day long the really great thing is that this is all automatic clever pet engages your dog even when it can't be helped my favorite part about working with dogs is seeing progress on a daily basis I've learned a lot about how dogs interact with their surroundings and the most important takeaway is that a dog to the job is a happy dog what's really interesting is that all my clients have the same request they all want a happy healthy and well behaved dog so when I was first introduced to clever pet I learned that there was something for these problems keeping our dogs engaged and busy while we're not at home I've introduced dogs to just about every interactive toy and device on the market and nothing challenges your dog like clever men does we begin with simple pet behaviors and have since advanced some more complex interactions at clever pet we're driven by compassion and curiosity to find a way to care for pets when they're alone and get a better sense for who they are so whether you're looking to keep your pet healthy and happy or simply dealing with your dog's anxiety when you leave the house clever pet adapts to meet your dog's needs clever pet engage idle pause
