Why smartwatch-measured blood pressure still isn’t ‘ready for primetime’

New Post has been published on https://depression-md.com/why-smartwatch-measured-blood-pressure-still-isnt-ready-for-primetime/

Why smartwatch-measured blood pressure still isn’t ‘ready for primetime’

It’s been over two years since Samsung first announced that its Galaxy Watch would be able to measure people’s blood pressure. The feature is available in a number of countries, including South Korea, but not in the United States — the company is still awaiting Food and Drug Administration clearance. In the meantime, other smartwatch companies have started experimenting with blood pressure tech in a bid for monitors on their devices. Fitbit announced a study trialing a blood pressure monitor in April, and Apple is reportedly working on its own version, as well.

Adding a blood pressure monitor to smartwatches could arguably be more important for users’ cardiovascular health than the heart rate and rhythm monitors they have now, says says Ann Marie Navar, a cardiologist at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center. “Blood pressure measurement is something we need to do a lot more a lot of,” she says.

“We’re not ready for primetime yet”

But it’s still not clear how reliable smartwatch-measured blood pressure could be. Measuring blood pressure is much harder than tracking heart rate and rhythm, and getting it right is arguably even more important. “We’re not ready for primetime yet,” says Jordana Cohen, an assistant professor of medicine at the University of Pennsylvania who studies hypertension.

Squeeze-free methods

Having more ways to easily take blood pressure measurements at home could be a big benefit to people with hypertension (high blood pressure) or other concerns. Pressure measurements taken exclusively in a doctor’s office are often unreliable: some people have higher blood pressure in-office because they’re anxious about the visit, while other people have masked hypertension — high blood pressure at home, but normal blood pressure at the doctor. “We don’t pick it up unless we have people check their blood pressures at home,” Navar says.

There are plenty of at-home blood pressure cuffs that take the standard approach: a cuff gets strapped onto a patient’s upper arm. Inflating the cuff cuts off blood flow, and the device measures the pressure blood is putting on vessel walls when blood starts flowing again as the compression is released.

Right now, there’s one wearable device cleared by the Food and Drug Administration to measure blood pressure: a device from medical equipment company Omron, which has an inflatable cuff inside the band that lets it take blood pressure measurements at the wrist using the traditional squeezing method. Unlike smartwatches that are hoping to add blood pressure to existing tech, Omron’s HeartGuide is extremely specialized. It’s even marketed as “a wearable blood pressure monitor in the innovative form of a wristwatch”

Smartwatch companies like Samsung and Fitbit are taking another approach. They are using light sensors on the smartwatches to calculate blood pressure. It’s a big challenge, says Wendy Mendes, a psychophysiologist at the University of California San Francisco who works with Samsung on its tool.

Samsung’s approach is based on a measure called pulse transit time, which is the time between the contraction of the heart and when the pulse arrives at a particular body part, like the wrist. It’s correlated with blood pressure. “The faster that pulse transit time is, the more the vessels are tightening — that’s what’s making the pulse travel faster,” Mendes says. Optical sensors also check if vessels are tightening or widening. An algorithm then uses those two bits of information, along with heart rate, to estimate blood pressure.

Fitbit is a few steps further back in the process — it doesn’t have any blood pressure features available but has a handful of studies underway looking at the relationship between the metrics already collected by its devices and blood pressure. They’re focusing on a measure called pulse arrival time. It’s similar to pulse transit time but measures the pulse at a slightly different time than Samsung does, says Eric Friedman, vice president of research at Fitbit.

There’s a limitation to both of these strategies: generally, they can only reliably measure relative blood pressure. Mendes could strap a watch on and find out if someone’s blood pressure was higher in the morning than it was when they went to sleep the previous night, but wouldn’t be able to tell what the raw number it started at was without benchmarking the device off of a standard blood pressure cuff. “Almost all of these sensors are going to be good at changes,” she says. “But to get the level, you have to calibrate it.” Samsung suggests users recalibrate the blood pressure monitor on their smartwatches every four weeks.

Apple’s blood pressure feature is still in development and has not been formally announced. It would reportedly just give people information on trends in their blood pressure — if it’s increasing or decreasing — rather than a raw measure, which requires the calibration step used by Samsung, according to The Wall Street Journal. That’s a more realistic approach, Cohen says, because the techniques used in smartwatches are much more capable of detecting relative changes in blood pressure.

“I don’t have the hubris to view it as something that’s coming out any day now.”

The sensors currently common in smartwatches probably won’t be able to measure blood pressure without calibration against an outside cuff, Mendes says. “I do think it’s possible, but I don’t think the technology is there yet,” she says. It’s a herculean task, Friedman says. “There have been whole books written around why this is an impossible thing to solve,” he says. “I don’t have the hubris to view it as something that’s coming out any day now.”

That’s why Fitbit is taking a broad approach and is considering all the ways it might be able to incorporate pulse arrival time and blood pressure into the data it offers users, Friedman says. Even if companies can’t directly measure blood pressure through a watch, they might be able to use metrics like pulse arrival time to give people information about swings in their blood pressure (like Apple is reportedly pursuing) or their general fitness levels. “We’re ultimately looking at the maximal health impact we can achieve, and there are a lot of things that would also be quite satisfying,” Friedman says.

Validating the tech

There’s more and more data available on non-cuff blood pressure monitors — movement in the right direction, Navar says. “There’s been a lot of progress in terms of trying to validate that technology against what we would consider more of a gold-standard blood pressure measurement,” she says.

Right now, the only way to access Samsung’s blood pressure feature in the US is through Mendes’ research program at the University of California San Francisco, My BP Lab, which tracks stress and blood pressure. The team asked 123 participants to spend a week taking blood pressure readings using both a blood pressure cuff and a Samsung Note 9 phone (which includes the same sensor as the smartwatches).

“It’s so, so important that we get it right,”

The analysis, published in July, found that the blood pressures calculated by the Samsung device had “moderate to strong agreement” with pressures measured by an FDA-approved cuff. The results were about as close together as the results from two different FDA-approved cuffs were each other, Mendes says. The results held for people of varying skin tones and ages.

Navar hopes to see public data on devices made by companies like Fitbit and Apple, as well. “We’ve seen companies really hold themselves to a higher standard, and I think the clinical research community is really demanding it.”

Still, Cohen says the data available so far isn’t enough to make her confident in blood pressure tracked through a smartwatch. “I wouldn’t recommend somebody use it to diagnose hypertension or for monitoring or treatment of high blood pressure. Not yet,” she says.

Fitbit wearables don’t measure blood pressure yet, but the company is studying whether it can use other metrics, like pulse arrival time, to measure people’s blood pressure.

It’s important to get right — maybe more important than something like heart rate, Cohen says. “High blood pressure is such a major risk factor for stroke, major cardiac events, and kidney disease,” she says. “It’s so, so important that we get it right, because if devices are giving you an inaccurate reading, you can get very false reassurance that your blood pressure is normal.”

Cohen’s seen multiple patients with inaccurate data collected through blood pressure-monitoring wearables purchased overseas, or that don’t make the type of medical claims that would require clearance from the FDA. “I had one patient that had one of those watches that she got from overseas, and she was convinced her blood pressure was perfect,” she says. A monitoring test showed that it was actually 50 points higher than what the watch said. The patient was so reluctant to accept that determination that her care team had to run a second test. “She wouldn’t accept the values,” Cohen says.

“We have to be cautious”

Clinicians will have to carefully examine any new device on the market to make sure it’s working well enough to trust in different groups of people, including people with high or abnormal blood pressure, Navar says. “It may work in someone with totally normal blood vessels, but does it work in an older person who may have stiffer blood vessels? We have to be cautious,” she says.

Blood pressure is relatively easy to double check with a medical-grade cuff at home or in the doctor’s office, Navar says. She’d want to use that as a backup for patients with smartwatches, at least at first. “I’d probably want to make sure that, if somebody is using one of these watches to measure their blood pressure, that we check it against a more standard measure,” she says.

If smartwatches are able to run the validation gauntlet and prove that they can reliably track blood pressure, it could help expand the options people have to manage a health condition at home. “I love the idea of more people checking their blood pressure at home, and anything to help people do that is wonderful,” Cohen says. “But it needs to be accurate or it’s of no value.”

New health monitors are flexible, transparent and graphene enabled

New technological devices are prioritizing non-invasive tracking of vital signs not only for fitness monitoring, but also for the prevention of common health problems such as heart failure, hypertension, and stress related complications, among others. Wearables based on optical detection mechanisms are proving an invaluable approach for reporting on our bodies inner workings and have experienced a large penetration into the consumer market in recent years. Current wearable technologies, based on non-flexible components, do not deliver the desired accuracy and can only monitor a limited number of vital signs. To tackle this problem, conformable non-invasive optical-based sensors that can measure a broader set of vital signs are at the top of the end-users’ wish list.

In a recent study published in Science Advances, ICFO researchers have demonstrated a new class of flexible and transparent wearable devices that are conformable to the skin and can provide continuous and accurate measurements of multiple human vital signs. These devices can measure heart rate, respiration rate and blood pulse oxygenation, as well as exposure to UV radiation from the sun. While the device measures the different parameters, the read-out is visualized and stored on a mobile phone interface connected to the wearable via Bluetooth. In addition, the device can operate battery-free since it is charged wirelessly through the phone.

“It was very important for us to demonstrate the wide range of potential applications for our advanced light sensing technology through the creation of various prototypes, including the flexible and transparent bracelet, the health patch integrated on a mobile phone and the UV monitoring patch for sun exposure. They have shown to be versatile and efficient due to these unique features”, reports Dr. Emre Ozan Polat, first author of this publication.

The bracelet was fabricated in such a way that it adapts to the skin surface and provides continuous measurement during activity (see Figure 1). The bracelet incorporates a flexible light sensor that can optically record the change in volume of blood vessels, due to the cardiac cycle, and then extract different vital signs such as heart rate, respiration rate and blood pulse oxygenation.

Secondly, the researchers report on the integration of a graphene health patch onto a mobile phone screen, which instantly measures and displays vital signs in real time when a user places one finger on the screen (see Figure 2). A unique feature of this prototype is that the device uses ambient light to operate, promoting low-power-consumption in these integrated wearables and thus, allowing a continuous monitoring of health markers over long periods of time.

ICFO’s advanced light sensing technology has implemented two types of nanomaterials: graphene, a highly flexible and transparent material made of one-atom thick layer of carbon atoms, together with a light absorbing layer made of quantum dots. The demonstrated technology brings a new form factor and design freedom to the wearables’ field, making graphene-quantum-dots-based devices a strong platform for product developers. Dr. Antonios Oikonomou, business developer at ICFO emphasized this by stating that “The booming wearables industry is eagerly looking to increase fidelity and functionality of its offerings. Our graphene-based technology platform answers this challenge with a unique proposition: a scalable, low-power system capable of measuring multiple parameters while allowing the translation of new form factors into products.”

Dr. Stijn Goossens, co-supervisor of the study, also comments that “we have made a breakthrough by showing a flexible, wearable sensing system based on graphene light sensing components. Key was to pick the best of the rigid and flexible worlds. We used the unique benefits of flexible components for vital sign sensing and combined that with the high performance and miniaturization of conventional rigid electronic components.”

Finally, the researchers have been able to demonstrate a broad wavelength detection range with the technology, extending the functionality of the prototypes beyond the visible range. By using the same core technology, they have fabricated a flexible UV patch prototype (see Figure 3) capable of wirelessly transferring both power and data, and operating battery-free to sense the environmental UV-index. The patch operates with a low power consumption and has a highly efficient UV detection system that can be attached to clothing or skin, and used for monitoring radiation intake from the sun, alerting the wearer of any possible over-exposure.

“We are excited about the prospects for this technology, pointing to a scalable route for the integration of graphene-quantum-dots into fully flexible wearable circuits to enhance form, feel, durability, and performance”, remarks Prof. Frank Koppens, leader of the Quantum Nano-Optoelectronics group at ICFO. “Such results show that this flexible wearable platform is compatible with scalable fabrication processes, proving mass-production of low-cost devices is within reach in the near future.”

Wearable Technology: The Coming Revolution in Digital Health

A few years ago could anybody predict that daily visits to physicians, physically visiting doctors for common diagnostic procedures like checking blood pressure and blood sugar, a wide range of existing medical monitoring systems and products, will all become conventional methods in healthcare, that more than a million people would buy a watch that not only tells the time but tracks your workouts, too? But that’s exactly what happened. Yes, we are in a world where the role technology plays in our lives is rapidly growing, as we are willing to be more and more dependent on it. The technology’s tendency to get faster and smaller at the same time has fueled the rise of wearable technology. No wonder, continuing evolution in wearable technology is paving the way for the emergence of advanced devices in the field of communication and navigation but perhaps, the greatest potential of wearable technology exists in the healthcare sector. Primarily owing to its ease of use and flexibility, wearable healthcare technology is gaining widespread popularity. Now the Question Arises “What Is Wearable Technology?” In the fields of health and fitness, wearable technology refers to electronic technologies or computers that are incorporated into items of clothing and accessories which can comfortably be worn on the body. Because it can provide sensory and scanning features not typically seen in mobile and laptop devices, such as biofeedback and tracking of physiological functions, wearable technology tends to be more sophisticated than hand-held technology available in the market today. Evolution of Wearable Technology in Healthcare Wearable technology’s roots are centuries old though it might feel like a new thing in the town. For us, the term, wearable technology is a reference to fitness trackers, smartwatches, smart clothing, or some more sophisticated tools like smart glasses, or AR/VR headsets, and similar devices. But the truth is that it has existed long back just in a different form and has evolved over time to give us today’s high tech wearable devices. The evolution of wearables dates back to 1788 when Thomas Jefferson introduced the first ever pedometer. Another invention in this area was that of the “Lie Detector”. Back in 1921, the lie detector was created which was the first machine to have sensors which could measure Galvanic Skin Response (GSR), pulse rate, and blood pressure which indicated the physiological parameters of deceiving. This instrument was of great use to the police. With time, innovations in this space were more powerful, stronger. 1961 saw an enthralling innovation – The first Wearable Computer – a time when computers were the size of the rooms. Innovations have been coming around from that point in time, be it of wearable hearing aids or the world’s first fully digital pacemaker – Vitatron C-Series in 2003. Wearable Tech Becoming Pivotal for a Healthy Lifestyle

The rise of wearable technology ranges from fitness trackers like Fitbit and the Apple Watch to Google Glass and Microsoft’s HoloLens. Let’s take a quick glance at some wearables that are hot in the healthcare industry: Fitness TrackingThe most popular and widely known healthcare wearables are the fitness and sports activity trackers. Most smartphones already have built-in sensors for measuring how many steps you take a day when you are running or riding a bike. The activity trackers might also measure your pulse rate and create colorful graphs and charts to help you figure out the best ways to keep fit and healthy.In 2006, Apple and Nike collaborated for Nike+iPod – a fitness tracking device which lets the consumers use their existing technology to keep fit. 2009 again saw the launch of a dedicated fitness tracker Fitbit. This touch-screen wristwatch not only tracks your steps and sleep, but also alerts you to incoming phone calls and text messages, keeps tabs on your heart rate with a built-in optical heart rate monitor, and uses GPS to track outdoor activity. GPS is especially useful, as you don’t have to take your phone with you when you run or bike to track exercise. Today many fitness trackers with advanced features are available that can help you make your workout more meaningful. To Get a Good Night’s SleepPebble Time: Developed by Pebble in collaboration with researchers at Stanford University, Pebble automatically tracks when you go to bed, displaying sleep, deep-sleep, and the times when you fall asleep and wake up. To Get Rid of StressPIP: A tiny healthcare wearable device designed to give immediate feedback about your stress levels. Its smartphone app helps you learn how to reduce stress by having you transform a depressing scene into a happy one by actively relaxing, giving you tips along the way. You just hold the PIP device between the thumb and index fingers to measure skin conductivity for a few minutes. The longer you can keep stress low, the faster the scene changes. To Keep Blood Pressure OptimalWithings Blood Pressure: One of the earliest connected wearable healthcare devices available in the market. It consists of an app connecting through Bluetooth to the blood pressure monitor itself. The app measures your heart rate, blood pressure, and also counts the steps you take weekly. You can also set up reminders for various issues from taking your blood pressure to taking your medications. Keeping Track of Your WeightFitbit Aria: It is the latest smart gadget of the Fitbit-family. The smart scale tracks your weight and body fat percentage – preferably daily – and uploads the information to a cloud-based account. Keeping Your Heart HealthyAliveCor Heart Monitor: A mobile phone-based electrocardiogram. The tiny, slim, and simple wearable healthcare device attaches to your phone case. Its app has three main divisions: ECG recording, collected data, and a great educational portion.A great use for the AliveCor Heart Monitor is during an experience of symptoms that you have described to your physician in the past. Palpitations, for example, can come and go at random, and relevant data from the actual episodes provides helpful insights for healthcare providers. Wearable Technology for Social ImpactKhushi Baby: Mobile health and wearable technology can also be used for social impact like motivating and monitoring the health care of mothers and children in remote regions of the developing world.KB or Khushi Baby app is a novel mobile app for community health workers that interfaces with a digital necklace worn by patients via Near Field Communication or NFC. All the data is stored on a tiny NFC chip (worn in the form of a pendant) that is synced to the cloud and displayed on an analytics dashboard, where insights can be acted upon by health officials. Exercising in the Most Effective Way Possible Some healthcare wearables can help you make the most of your workout. Gymwatch Fitness Tracker: GymWatch is a fitness tracker that is not about counting steps. Rather, it wants to become your personal fitness coach or your professional performance diagnostician. This is a wearable technology device that is built for the gym, specifically for people that head straight for the weights. The tracker gives you visual and verbal real-time feedback and also connects you with its community of like-minded fitness enthusiasts. Remote Healthcare Monitoring SystemsSome advanced healthcare wearables also facilitate cloud connectivity where any crucial irregularities in the patient’s health will be informed to all concerned medical practitioners treating the patient, and will also update existing electronic medical records through cloud-based accessibility. Eventually, by growing accuracy of remote monitoring offered through wearable medical devices, doctors will be comforted. They will formulate their therapy by thoroughly relying on the data recorded through these devices. Some Wearable Tech Stats

Looking at the advancements in wearable technology especially in the field of healthcare, here are some interesting statistics that have come upfront: According to the Huffington Post, the number of wearable devices shipped to consumers is expected to reach 130 million by 2018. “Wearables will become the world’s best-selling consumer electronics product after smartphones,” CNBC reports, citing forecasts by market research firm Euromonitor. Autonomous or smart wearables are projected to exceed 305 million units in 2020, with a compound annual growth rate of 55 percent. Healthcare wearables will save as many as 1.3 million lives and the market for the technology will grow to $41 billion by 2020, according to estimates by Soreon Research. Benefits of “Wearable Technology in Healthcare

Wearable technology has touched multiple areas but Healthcare has been the major benefiter of this technology. By deploying wearables technologies, hospitals and clinics can achieve benefits across multiple levels and roles. Some such benefits can be enumerated as: Encourages Proactive HealthcareWith wearable tech, there is potential for a more proactive approach to healthcare. This is because wearables can be used to take action in the early stages instead of reacting to health issues after they begin causing problems. For people that are already prone to health problems, irregularities can be detected before they become problems. Keeps Patients EngagedPeople will become much more engaged with their own health if they are able to use wearable tech to monitor themselves. Users will be able to stay informed about their health condition by getting access to real-time data which is continuously collected from a wearable device. Performs Many Different FunctionsThere are many different types of wearable devices already on the market, with different use cases. Consumer-focused devices are the most common, but there are many others, especially in the medical field. As wearables continue to become more common, more medical uses for these devices will surely be developed. Benefits Healthcare Providers and EmployersWearable technology has the potential to provide enormous benefits to healthcare providers. By using wearable devices to monitor patient data over a long period of time, medical professionals can get a better view of the issues that are affecting their patient. They can then use the data to make a more accurate diagnosis than they would have been able to without using the device. Monitors Vulnerable PatientsHealthcare providers can also use wearable tech to monitor vulnerable patients who are prone to medical issues. If they are at risk but not seriously ill enough to be in the hospital, wearable tech can be used to monitor them at home to ensure no problems occur. Improve Patient Care and SatisfactionProvide surgeons and physicians with critical information to improve decision-making process while increasing opportunities for patient connection. Examples include using smart glasses to view patient vitals and relevant information during surgical procedures without taking eyes off the patient. Strengthen Operational Bottom LineFacilitate cost savings by equipping building and custodial staff with wearable devices that increase productivity. The Future of “Wearable Technology”

If we can be sure of anything, it’s that the future means we’ll be wearing our technology on the outside, and, perhaps one day, on the inside, too. The wearable health industry has exploded in recent years, and the trend isn’t slowing down. First-generation wearables, including fitness trackers like the Fitbit and Jawbone’s Up, health apps like Walgreen’s Balance Rewards, and smartwatches, are very popular with consumers. And healthcare professionals are eager to get in the game, too, exploring the possibilities for helping patients with chronic illnesses or who live in remote areas manage their conditions. As the cost of wearable devices goes down and the ease of collecting the data improves, the likelihood of seeing wearable technology become commonly incorporated into healthcare services and recognized by health plans goes up. What’s more, patients are ready for wearables. Evidence from the patient engagement survey showed 49 percent of patients globally wear or would be willing to wear technology that measures and tracks both fitness/lifestyle and vital signs. Conclusion From a medical standpoint, wearable technology offers exciting possibilities for the digital healthcare industry. The wearable hardware developers, wearable app developers along with regulators and healthcare service providers, must embrace the potential of wearable technology in providing better patient outcomes. Pentoz Technology is a leading healthcare software development company that partners with startups and healthcare providers to launch novel digital health products like wearables apps to ultimately deliver better healthcare outcomes for patients. Our deep domain expertise, an expert team of healthcare software developers, and a rapidly growing healthcare client base make us an ideal healthcare technology partner.

Lenovo’s Watch X Is An Attractive But Terrible Smartwatch

Our verdict of the Lenovo Watch X: The Lenovo Watch X is an affordable and well-equipped hybrid smartwatch. However, given its poor overall performance, your $70 would be better spent elsewhere. 310

High prices and a lack of compelling, unique features have meant that smartwatches never really became a mainstream product. Hybrid smartwatches have begun to fill the void, combining some of the best smart features with a traditional timepiece at a fraction of the cost. Lenovo’s latest, the Watch X, is an affordable entry in the hybrid smartwatch market. So, how does it hold up?

youtube

Read on as we take a closer look, and at the end of this review we’ve got one shiny new Lenovo Smart X watch to giveaway to one lucky reader.

Specifications

Display: 1.5 inch OLED

Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.0

Sensors: Optical Heart Rate, Pedometer, Sleep Tracking

Battery: 600mAh

Watch Casing: Zinc alloy

Band: Stainless Steel, Milanese

Weight: 0.0810 kg

Dimensions: 9.65 x 1.67 x 0.48 inches

Waterproof Rating: Unspecified

Price at time of writing: $70 from GearBest.com

Design

Based on initial impressions, you’d be forgiven for mistaking the Watch X with a regular wristwatch. The only obvious hallmark of a smart device is the stainless steel Milanese strap with a magnetic clasp often bundled with fitness wearables. However, because the watch itself has a metal back, the strap continually gets stuck to it. This isn’t a problem when it’s actually on your wrist, but is quite annoying when attempting to store or charge the watch.

The main watch face has just four hour-markers at 2, 4, 8, and 10. There are also a few significantly smaller ones for minutes 5, 25, 35, and 55. There are no second hands to be found, with two reasonably clear hour hands. These hands are shorter than usual to make way for the OLED digital display towards the bottom of the watch face.

The grayscale digital display is minimal, with a width of just 0.5 inches. Lenovo does a reasonably good job of fitting everything into that small space. The text is readable and sits alongside easily distinguishable icons. As with many wearables, the watch has a ‘raise to wake’ feature, so moving your wrist will light up the display.

Where you’d usually find the stem of the watch (the knob on the side for adjusting the time), is where you’ll find the Watch X’s single physical button. While it might look like a stem, you can’t use it to set the time. Press the button, and the display will turn on. Multiple presses cycle through the various menu items. The rear of the watch is where you will find the charging connection and the optical heart rate sensor.

Features

The Lenovo Watch X doesn’t have many of the features we now view as standard with smartwatches. There is no color screen, music playback, GPS, or SIM card support. But, for the price, the Watch X is well equipped. For the health-conscious, there is sleep tracking, continuous optical heart rate measurement, and a pedometer. Some of this data is accessible from the watch itself under the Activity, Heart Rate, Sleep, Alarm, and Run.

Activity

The first menu option on the Watch X gives a brief overview of your activity that day. Once you’ve selected the Activity option, the watch will begin cycling through your stats. Your total step count, kcal burnt, total active minutes, and distance are all displayed.

As a regular Fitbit user, I have a rough idea of how many steps I do on an average day. Rather than wearing the Watch X and comparison device at the same time, I gathered data with the watch over a few days and compared it to past Fitbit data. For the most part, the two correlated. The steps and distance of my regular walks were more-or-less consistent across both devices.

Heart Rate

Optical heart rate sensors have been a standard feature on most wearable devices released in the past few years. That said, they don’t often pop up on devices as affordable as the Watch X, so it’s a welcome inclusion. Their accuracy is debatable though, and so shouldn’t be relied on for medical decisions. The heart rate sensor on the Watch X was broadly in line with my historical Fitbit data. Although there were sudden spikes in heart rate, these were caused by a chronic medical condition, rather than an error on the device.

Sleep

The science of sleep is still in its infancy, so while there are many products out there that claim to aid or monitor your sleep, you shouldn’t rely on them as definitive. In this case, it does require wearing the watch to bed every night. I’ve used my Fitbit and phone-based apps to monitor my sleep for quite some time, and the data gathered by the Watch X broadly matched.

Alarm

Fortunately, the alarm feature is nice and straightforward. Using the app, you can set multiple alarms on your watch. The alarm syncs to the watch via Bluetooth. When it’s time, you’ll be alerted with a pulsing vibration and the text ‘Alarm’ on the watch. You can even schedule recurring alarms for getting you out of bed in the morning. Fortunately, the Watch X performs this relatively simple task with ease.

Run

Like many activity trackers, you can use the Watch X to track your run. However, as the watch doesn’t have in-built GPS, all it does it track your steps and place the run into a separate area in the app. Still, if monitoring your runs from one device is important to you, then the Watch X may be the hybrid for you.

Setup

For all the hype around the Watch X—it reportedly sold out within 15 seconds—its specifications are incredibly tough to nail down definitively. Every site says something slightly different, and the watch itself only comes with a small leaflet, all in Chinese. It’s seemingly just there to encourage you to scan a QR code to download the companion Android or iOS app. Incidentally, the site linked to the QR code failed to load, so I had to find the correct app from the Google Play Store manually.

Unlike many gadgets which are pre-charged to a point, the Watch X arrives with no charge. With no instructions on how to use the watch, it wasn’t clear if I hadn’t turned it on, it wasn’t charged, or didn’t work. After charging for three and a half hours, the watch was fully charged. Following some experimentation, pressing down and holding the stem button turns the watch on.

After powering on, the watch didn’t display the correct time. As you’re not able to manually set this on the device, you have to turn to the app. The app’s calibration settings state “When the hands stop rotating, please enter current time to calibrate.” Not only did the hands not rotate, but entering the current time did absolutely nothing.

After multiple attempts and some online research, it turns out that you don’t enter the current time. Instead, you enter the incorrect time currently displayed on the watch itself. Counter-intuitively, the watch then syncs to the correct time. It’s so obvious! Fortunately, you don’t have to set the watch up more than once. But the initial experience of the watch is less than ideal. In many ways, it is the absolute antithesis of Apple’s “it just works” philosophy.

Lenovo Watch App

The companion app is undoubtedly the weakest part of the Watch X experience. Even once you’ve managed to find and download the correct app, the on-boarding and initial setup is a mess. Every time you open the app, a full-screen advert for the Watch X Plus (a pricier edition of the watch with barometric pressure sensors and Roman numerals) displays for five seconds. A smaller banner ad is permanently placed inside the app too.

You’d expect an app named Lenovo Watch to deal exclusively with features and data generated by the watch. Instead, the app is a fitness tracking app, which also happens to include watch data. But that’s not made clear anywhere, with the Workout section prominently displayed on the first screen. Workout options include run, climb, ride, and something called Details but with a swimming icon. Run data can be generated by the watch, while the swim data is only for the Watch X Plus. The other two options are phone-only.

Under the watch settings, there is a section named Funny Function. Included under that banner are: remote shutter, heart rate, smart alarm, and smart reminder. Smart alarm is the previously mentioned recurring alarms function. The Smart reminder feature is actually about receiving notifications on your Watch X. There are options for both call and message reminders. Despite many attempts, I could get neither to work.

The most confusing options are remote shutter and heart rate. Remote shutter supposedly allows you to operate your phone’s camera from the watch, but also never worked. You’d expect the heart rate option to allow you to access the heart rate data from the watch. Instead, it activates your phone’s flash and asks you to place your finger over the light to measure your heart rate. This didn’t work either.

Performance

The Watch X is apparently waterproof, but after some research, I found that it is variously listed as: waterproof, not waterproof, waterproof up to 8ATM, and potentially IP68 rated. With no clear answer, I wore the watch in the shower to put it to the test. After total immersion, it had no apparent damage and still functioned as expected. The Q&A section on the Gearbest website even suggests the Watch X is suitable for swimming, contradicting the in-app statement that swimming data is only available on the Watch X Plus. Or perhaps it’s safe for swimming, but you won’t get any data out of it? Who knows.

Similarly, the battery specifications of the Watch X are up for debate. While some say that it includes a CR2302 watch battery, the fact that you have to charge it suggests otherwise. It’s possible that the watch battery would provide backup power to time-keeping part of the watch. However, when it was initially out of power, the watch hands didn’t move either.

Lenovo claims 45 days standby time on a full charge, but you’re likely to get closer to five days real world usage. This isn’t terrible and is a far cry from charging it every night. However, the Ticwatch S—a fully featured Wear OS device—lasts a full two days too.

Is The Lenovo Watch X The Hybrid Smartwatch For You?

On paper, the Lenovo Watch X is an intriguing device. Hybrid smartwatches dial down the tech, but bring affordability to a mostly high-price market. The Watch X is waterproof and can theoretically replace your fitness tracker with its inbuilt heart rate monitor and pedometer. Even more surprisingly the Watch X actually looks stylish. You can’t ask more of a smartwatch that only costs $70.

However, the great design is let down by infuriating and, at times, downright sloppy software. Most of the Watch X’s features are found on equally affordable fitness trackers. Until Lenovo addresses the app’s shortcomings, you are probably better off avoiding the Watch X and opting for a straight up budget fitness tracker like the Mi Band 3. That is unless you like the Watch X’s timepiece design. In which case, save yourself the hassle and just buy a normal watch.

Enter the Competition!

Farming 4.0: Ready to Feed 9.6 Billion Farming may not seem to have much to do with the latest Internet of Things (IoT) technology, but this could not be further from the truth as Smart Agriculture takes off. Some of earliest Technologies were created to facilitate Agriculture, and as affordable Mechanisation like Tractors and Combines arrived, Farmers – keen to further boost their Yields - were eager adopters. On the face of things, subsequent Progress appears to have been slow. However, dig a little deeper and we can see that Modern Farming and Food Production is actually right up to date: it’s all Data-driven, GPS-assisted, Machine to Machine (M2M), Big Data and IoT-ready. It’s Farming 4.0, offering high-precision Crop Control, backed by useful Data Collection and Analytics, and Automated Farming Techniques, there are clearly many advantages a Networked Farm has to offer to Optimise Crop yield and reduce Waste. Farming today faces a tremendous challenge. Food production must increase by 70% by 2050, as the World Population is predicted to rise to 9.6 Billion people according to figures from the Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations. This will require a significant increase in Yields, which in turn will require Precision Management of Land and Animal Welfare. Historically, Farmers have had to Sense for themselves the State of the Climate, the intentions of the Weather, the condition of the Soil, and the needs of their Livestock. Going forward, they will need help to interpret all the extra Information needed to keep driving Productivity higher. The Cloud now brings the opportunity to collect Large amounts of Data from numerous Locations – even down to the level of Individual Animals or Rows of Crops - to remove a lot of the guesswork. And a host of Sensors are arriving in the Market to help gather the year-round Digital Harvest. The era of Animal Wearable has already dawned. Farms have begun studying location Data from ‘Connected Cows’ to identify anomalous behaviour indicative of injury or illness, and a more recent project has developed Cow Pedometers that can help identify when Females are in heat to help improve insemination success rates. As far as Growers are concerned, tomorrow’s arable Farms and Greenhouses may contain untold numbers of Sensors to aid Precision regulation of conditions such as Irrigation, Soil Temperature and exposure to Light. Over-Irrigation, for example, can be at least as bad for crop Yields as under-Irrigation. Moisture sensing is a science in itself, and depends on factors such as Soil type and Sensor Technology to accurately report the conditions Plant roots are experiencing. Smart Irrigation is not only important for boosting Crop Yields but also to save Water, which will come under increasing pressure as the World Population rises. Soil Temperature, on the other hand, is important for Crops such as Asparagus. A two-sided covering layer is often used, that provides a choice of reflective or absorptive qualities and so enables growers to raise or lower the Temperature as needed. A prototype IoT based system can Manage the Temperatures of multiple rows of Crops in Multiple fields can be greatly simplified. UAVs in agriculture are a low-cost aerial camera platform, equipped with an autopilot using GPS and sensors for collecting relevant Data, like a regular Point-and-Shoot Camera for visible images. While a regular Camera can provide Information like Plant growth, Coverage and other things, a multi-spectral sensor expands the utility of the Technique and unleashes its full potential. It allows you to see things which you cannot see in the visible Spectrum, such as moisture content in the Soil, Plant Health, Stress Levels and Yield. Other Developments include a Digital Tool for assessing Tomato quality by Optical Measurement of Sugar and Acid levels, cross-referenced with a Database of Taste-Test results. Improving the growing processes is just one aspect of increasing Yield. The Precision Farmed Produce must also be handled carefully to Minimise Spoilage, which can occur during Harvesting, Packaging or in Storage. Research has been ongoing for some time, as a report by researchers suggests. Experiments using ‘Electronic Tomatoes’, recorded the Accelerations, Impacts and Speeds experienced by the Crops and was able to identify the Gentlest Combine Harvesters for the Task. The TuberLog Electronic Potato applies similar principles to protect the World’s most common Vegetable Crop. Although Potatoes may appear quite Robust, they are highly sensitive to Temperature variation during Storage. For Optimisation of Yield, Potatoes need to be harvested before Temperatures drop too low and in dry soil conditions to avoid clods of soil sticking to them, preventing Air being able to circulate while the Potatoes are ‘Curing’ after Harvest. Ideally they should be Stored in the Dark for a couple of weeks at Temperatures of 10-15⁰C at a Humidity of around 90%. This allows the skin to Harden and extends the Potatoes’ storage life. Thereafter they should be kept at steadily decreasing Temperatures until they reach around 2-4⁰C for table Potatoes and 10-13⁰C for processing Potatoes – and at a slightly lower Humidity. They also need to be handled gently. Cuts in the skin will become breeding grounds for Micro-Organisms, which can spread resulting in heavy losses to the Crop. It’s also important to avoid bruising, which can occur at any stage of Harvesting or Transportation. According to Lincolnshire-based Martin Lishman Ltd, who manufacture and distribute specialist agricultural equipment including the TuberLog, estimates suggest more than 60% of some Crops are damaged, leading to high levels of Wastage and associated financial losses for growers. TuberLog can be added toPotato batches at the start of their journey. Being in the heart of the action, it can pinpoint the most troublesome areas by measuring and logging typical acceleration forces. The Device is coupled with a Data logger, and the user can wear Headphones to hear each impact in real time and can see the Data on a Smartphone Screen. The Ambient Temperature at the point of the recording is also measured and stored alongside the impact data in the logger. It can be downloaded via USB or Bluetooth to a PC or laptop for later or more detailed Analysis using the system’s software. Farming 4.0 is a fascinating and fast-moving field, with clear relevance to the way we live today - and arguably even greater importance for our future survival. It’s also growing quickly and tipped to exceed $18 billion by 2022. A great opportunity to develop new Technology for the benefit of everyone.

Weight Loss With Wearable Tech

Weight loss with wearable tech.. Realistic? The makers of these wearables seem to think so.

Some of these devices come with the proactive claim of helping you lose weight just by wearing them, the others are more weight management devices which automatically or manually measure your calorie intake, measure calorie output, and offer nutritional information, exercises and more to help you on your quest to shed some lbs.

HRM Fitness Trackers

High-end fitness trackers with heart rate monitoring capabilities can be beneficial in your weight loss program if they are used with sensible diets. For instance, most of them come with companion apps that allow you to log what you eat, which is then converted into calorie consumption.

Fitbit’s app includes food logging, either manually or via barcode scanner. Others, such as Garmin, require you to sync their app with a third-party apps such as MyFitnessPal. Even if there is no food logging feature with your fitness tracker’s app, you can simply download a smartphone app that does it – there are many of them.

Good quality fitness trackers will monitor your steps with decent accuracy, they will also monitor different sports/activities. Combining data from the different sensors and HRM, they will tell you how many calories you burned during your walk, run and other activities. This metric is usually called “Active Calories”.

Being disciplined in logging foods (calorie consumption) and using your fitness tracker to keep a close eye on how many “Active Calories” you are burning can be an effective way of managing your weight loss.

Slender Tone

The original weight-loss wearable, Slendertone uses gentle electrical impulses (EMS) to stimulate the muscles into contracting. This repeated flexing of the muscles can result in calories being burned while you’ve got your feet up in front of the TV – unless you happen to be drinking a pint of gravy..

The electrical stimulation can also result in the strengthening and toning of muscles. Slendertone say they can reach the parts that are difficult to reach with conventional exercise.

There are various Slendertone packages available that target different areas, such as stomach, legs, arms, bum, face, and full body.

Does Slendertone work? Yes, as long as it’s used alongside a good diet.

• Slendertone

MTG Sixpad

The MTG Sixpad, as advertised and recommended by Christiano Ronaldo, uses EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) like Slendertone. As well offering a more streamlined and sporty look than Slendertone, MTG claim their “CMM Pulse” core technology which uses a proprietary waveform combined with the optimum 20Hz frequency is the most advanced EMS solution on the market. It’s also not the cheapest though.

The MTG Sixpad’s streamlined and wireless design means it can be worn under your clothing while you’re out and about. The soft silicone gel pads contour your body shape and conductive gel sheets attach and distribute the electro stimulation.

This weight loss wearable features various different EMS training modes for different intensities, conditioning, warming up, cooling down, and 15 levels of manually adjustable intensities with one-touch operation.

There are two versions of the MTG Sixpad available: Abs Fit, which concentrates on your abs; and Body Fit, which works your waist, arms and legs.

Ronaldo said he thinks MTG Sixpad is an excellent product for enhancing your muscles, especially if you’re training for explosive power and agility, and then for maintaining peak condition.

Cold Shoulder

Like Slendertone, the Cold Shoulder vest helps you burn calories without exercising, but instead of mini electric shocks it basically shivers the fat out of you by way of mild cold exposure therapy.

The Cold Shoulder vest was designed by a NASA scientist. With an 8 hour gel ice system ice draped over the shoulders and back, the vest is designed to absorb body heat without interfering with the body’s natural processes. The cold therapy method used by the vest can burn up to 500 calories per day, according to its makers.

Weight loss aside, wearing the vest is also a pretty effective way of keeping cool.

Healbe GoBe

This wrist-worn weight management gadget doesn’t come with the claim of burning calories while you’ve got your feet up, instead, its prerogative is automatically measuring your calorie consumption.

The first version of the HealBe GoBe was short of convincing reviewers of its calorie counting accuracy, but a common consensus was “the device has potential, and if it could be improved it would be worth another try.”

As it happens, an updated version, the GoBe 1.2, is inbound with updated firmware, an updated app, slimmer design, and among other new features there’s a galvanic skin response sensor which monitors your stress levels by combining with heart rate data, sleep quality, and other parameters.

The GoBe uses Healbe FLOW technology to automatically measure calorie input by reading the glucose levels in the cells through your skin. An advanced algorithm analyzes impedance readings and makes the calculations based on your glucose curves.

According HealBe, the GoBe weight management wearable can track your calorie intake with around 85% accuracy.

• HealBe GoBe

Thin Ice

Thin Ice is a more hi-tech version of the Cold Shoulder vest. It contains battery-powered Peltier-based cooling technology and uses Bluetooth LE to connect with its companion smartphone app for iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

Within the app there are a selection of digital weight loss delights, such as controlling the temperature of the vest, and checking how many calories you’ve burned.

The makers of Thin Ice claim their technology can help to burn 500 – 1,000 calories a day by tricking your thermoreceptors, which stimulate the brown adipose tissue pathway. The resulting effect activates brown fat which burns calories to generate heat.

The Thin Ice weight loss vest only targets specific areas of the body, thus not triggering the shivering response.

WELT

WELT, short for Wellness Belt, was developed as part of Samsung’s C-Lab program which gives the company’s employees the opportunity to create new products and launch new startups.

The WELT is indistinguishable from a regular leather belt, but hiding inside are some pretty nifty features to help you reduce your waistline.

The smart belt automatically measures your waist size and then lets you know if you’re yeilding any extra circumference. There’s also a feature to discourage overeating that monitors the belt’s tension and notifies eaters when they’re about to burst.

Along with the waist measurement and anti-burst features, WELT also counts your steps and keeps track of periods of inactivity.

• Release Date

There’s no price or release date yet for the smart belt, but the startup is now official so it probably won’t be too long before we find out.

AutoDietary

Unlike the rest of these devices, the Autodietary necklace isn’t likely to roll off the production line anytime soon, if ever.

The objective of Autodietary is to automatically measure your calorie intake, but unlike the GoBe which reads the glucose levels in your cells, the Autodietary listens to the sounds of foods while they’re being munched.

Essentially, Autodietary listens to your neck as you eat. The necklace contains a high fidelity microphone that records audio of your chomping and sends it over Bluetooth to a smartphone app which compares the sound to pre-recorded sounds in a growing audio library. If the there’s an exact match, the system will automatically assign the calorie input for the food you’re eating.

• Release Date

Autodietary works on the premise that every food has a unique sound when being eaten. Sounds ridiculous? Just a tad, but I wouldn’t rule it out for the future.

BioRing

Smart rings are showing up in numbers recently. The latest one to hit our radar is the BioRing.

When it comes to the Swedish made BioRing, size doesn’t matter. Despite being ten times smaller than the average fitness tracker, the smart ring offers a greater number of healthy features than most of them.

It has a built-in optical heart rate monitor, accelerometer, and bio-impedence sensor that work with an advanced algorithm that enables the ring to automatically calculate your calorie consumption. Furthermore, it can distinguish between fat, protein and carbohydrates. It does this by measuring the changes in your cells with high and low frequency electrical signals that read the cell tissues’ resistance. Something like that, anyway.

As well as auto-logging calorie intake, the BioRing monitors your water levels, steps, distance, heart rate, stress levels, and it has some pretty advanced features for monitoring sleep patterns.

If you’re still not impressed with this smart ring’s feature set; it will also vibrate when you receive an incoming call, text, email and social media notification.

• Release Date

The BioRing is coming in November 2016.

CloudTag Track

CloudTag have a ten-year background in medical research. They claim their ECG medical-grade fitness tracker is far more accurate than optical heart rate tech offered by the likes of Fitbit and Garmin.

The CloudTag Track can be worn on the wrist while you’re going about your daily business and sleeping, and then clipped onto clothing near the heart when you’re exercising.

With emphasis on weight loss, the CloudTag app provides a personalized fitness and nutritional program and relates directly with the user by continuously adapting to your fitness and weight loss progress.

By entering your weight into the app on a daily basis, CloudTag will be able to predict how long it will be before you reach your desired weight.

So far, the app provides 350 exercises and a ton nutritional tips to get you fit and burning fat. The wearable also comes with a full set of activity tracking features, such as steps, taken, calories burned, and automatic sleep monitoring.

• Release Date

The CloudTag Track is due to be available sometime this summer (2016).
