ARCHOS is set to launch a whole range of wearable and personal health technologies at the upcoming CES technology show next week.
The equipment will link into the Connected Self app and will allow up to eight different users to set goals and monitor progress. In the starting lineup are:
ARCHOS Connected Scale. Recognises 4 difference users, measures body shape based on mass and height, tracks body fat mass to help users lose weight intelligently and is equipped with onboard memory to prevent data loss between synchronisations.
ARCHOS Activity tracker. Monitors daily footsteps, calories burned and automatically displays time when synchronised with a smartphone. Recharges using USB connector and is equipped with a battery life of up to 7 days.
ARCHOS Blood Pressure Monitor. Equipped with memory for over 40 different measurements also displays heart beat information. Comes with irregular heart beat detector and can filter data by time period (morning, day, night).
We are spending some time with ARCHOS at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas next week, and we will bring you the latest news on all these products.
If Archos can do what it claims it will with this smartwatch, it could be a pretty big breakthrough. A watch with the functionality of the Pebble and compatibility with iOS and Android phones for only $83 would be a pretty sweet deal for any smartphone user.
I wonder whether this blood pressure monitor uses the pulse waveform to measure BP as with
the Tarilian device, sadly not yet on the market. The problem with all inflating cuff systems is that the user knows the measurement is being taken, which distorts the measurement.
