How to look after yourself in the fall: New health gadgets

The pace of release of new technologies can not keep up.Recently, not only the seventh iPhone has appeared on the market, but also other gadgets of a narrower purpose, which brought us closer to an alluring and frightening technological singularity by another step. We spent the summer in the depths of hedonism, but the sun and the sea are not always around, and the new season is a time to think about ways to make our lives easier. We chose new, interesting and useful smart devices for health and sports: total tracking of physical activity, round-the-clock synchronization with mobile applications and personalized fitness tips. Many of the devices went on sale this summer: while we swam and sunbathed, scientists, startups and marketers worked tirelessly.

Hexoskin Smart Tops

The new product Hexoskin is named the world's first smart biometric clothing. T-shirts, T-shirts and long-sleeved tops work as an advanced tracker: sewn mini-sensors measure the rhythm of your heartbeats, the intensity of movements, the number of steps, respiration rate and even the amount of oxygen consumed. Hexoskin can also perform the function of a sleep tracker, however, it is unlikely that it will go for pajamas. Data can be synchronized with the native application and various wellness programs like MapMyRun and RunKeeper, in order to build an optimal training regime. Of course, the secret is not in the magical fabric: when you first purchase, along with a T-shirt, you need to order a compact device, which will bring the sensor data together.

The application analyzes all indicators, helps to identify risks, and also instructs you when running in real time, helping to improve the technique. It looks like a couple more years - and the trainers will be replaced by smart gaiters, headphones and tops.
