Introducing the Hiyd Tracker
Hiyd has released a new health tracking device designed to integrate with traditional watches. The product is a small, slim disc that attaches to the back of any watch, allowing users to track health metrics without needing to switch to a dedicated fitness tracker.
Microsuction Attachment Technology
The device uses microsuction technology for attachment, which consists of textured silicone with tiny pockets that create a vacuum when pressed. This method avoids magnets or adhesives, preventing residue and interference with mechanical watch movements. The tracker is 0.3 mm thick at the attachment point and 2.7 mm thick overall, weighing 7 grams.
Biometric Data Collection
The Hiyd tracker collects various biometric data, including heart rate, heart rate variability, sleep staging, movement, calories burned, and VO2 max estimations. This data is then synced to a companion application available on iOS and Android platforms.
AI-Powered Data Analysis
Hiyd's team is training its AI by filming and labeling datasets of various activities to fine-tune the sensor's accuracy. The AI analyzes this data to provide insights into user activities. The app also plans to incorporate nutrition tracking, focusing on how eating habits affect sleep quality and workout performance, offering personalized insights.
