CIRCULAR UNVEILS ITS SMART RING DESIGNED TO IMPROVE USERS’ HEALTH AND WELLNESS

January 4, 2022 by

A smart ring for better health and wellness. CES Unveiled event series brings together key players in the technology industry, including innovative technology companies of all sizes, influential media, senior-level executives, and prominent tech industry influencers.


THE ONLY FRENCH START-UP IN THE SECTOR OF HEALTH SMART RING Circular team came up with the idea of a health smart ring in 2016. Thanks to the expertise of the team gathering hardware and industrialization experts, algorithmic engineers, and experienced data scientists, the initial concept evolved into an easy-to-use and efficient

solution.

“A lot of wearables are not suitable to users’ real needs, not to mention the lack of

personalization. Also, the users are provided with raw data without knowing how to use it.

As users ourselves, we aimed to design a personal and easy-to-use product capable of

making smart recommendations for a healthier daily life“, said Amaury Kosman, CEO of

Circular.

Very few innovative companies are positioned in the smart health ring market, mainly for technical and production complexity reasons.

HOW DOES IT WORKS?

Circular’s Smart Ring is a wellness wearable that tracks many of your vital metrics, day and

night. The ring focuses on how the user responds to their activities, daily choices, and

rhythms and provides personalized recommendations based on the data it gathers rather

than just providing metrics and raw data graphs.

Weighing just 4 grams, the ring sits on your finger, with a form factor that makes it look

more like a fashionable ring rather than a clunky wearable. lt is comfortable and fashionable

enough for 24/7.

Now available everywhere, the Lili lamp helps dyslexic people to read more easily!

January 4, 2022 by

Customizable, connected and portable, the Lili lamp helps people with dyslexia to read thanks to a patented technology awarded by the French National Academy of Medicine.

Designed for everyday use, the Lili lamp helps dyslexic people of all ages to get access to more fluent and enjoyable reading. Thanks to its patented technology, the Lili lamp allows an immediate and easier decryption of words, while reducing the tiredness experienced during a prolonged reading session. Portable and customizable via a dedicated app, the Lili lamp enables dyslexic people to express their full potential.

Making the lives of people with dyslexia happier is Lili’s ambition!

Lili for Life’s mission is to help people with dyslexia, as its slogan underlines: « With Lili, I read and live again ». With this patented technology, Lili for Life reinforces its ambition to offer a tool that makes reading easier for dyslexic people. According to World Health Organization, 8 to 10% of the world population has dyslexic disorders. Complementary to speech therapy sessions, this tool allows people with dyslexic disorders to progress in both reading and spelling.

How does it work?

Lili for Life has developed a technological device that produces almost imperceptible lights flashes, which correct the “mirror effect”. This innovative patented technology is based on the scientific discovery of two French physicists, Albert Le Floch and Guy Ropars.

Rewarded in 2020 by the French National Academy of Medicine, they discovered that, unlike normal readers, people with dyslexic disorders have two dominant eyes. Therefore, while reading, they see mirror images, which causes an image overlay in their brain and makes reading difficult.

The flashes produced by the Lili lamp create a time lag in the processing of the visual perception of the letters, which removes these image overlays. Therefore, reading becomes more fluent, faster, less tiring, thus allowing a better understanding of the meaning of the text read.

Efficient for nearly 80 % of the Lili lamp users

Between May and September 2021, Lili for Life conducted a beta test on the effectiveness of its Lili lamp on thirty dyslexic people. At the end of the 4-month study, significant improvements in reading and understanding the text were noted for nearly 80% of the users.

The Lili lamp, the ideal tool for all dyslexic people

The Lili lamp has been designed to be as ergonomic as possible. The Lili for Life R&D team has worked on its shape, weight, autonomy, discretion and resistance. Designed to be easily transportable, it has an autonomy of 6 hours.

Foldable, light and supplied with its case, it can be stored easily in a school bag or a handbag to follow its user everywhere.

In order to allow each user to obtain optimized reading comfort, a personalized setting must be made from a smartphone after downloading the Liliforlife application from the Play Store or the App Store. Lili for Life offers its customers free support in this process.

Once set in a personalized way and switched on, no further manipulation is necessary for daily use. Discreet and without visual distractors, the Lili lamp is perfectly suited to school and professional environments.

NOWATCH is launching at wearable at CES 2022

January 4, 2022 by

The world’s first ‘Awareable’, NOWATCH is designed as a screenless wearable for the wrist and helps predict stress by following cortisol levels and in so doing can predict a user’s cognitive zone one hour in advance. In addition, it helps you to improve sleep, and restore balance. The prediction gives the user time

to change their behavior and reduce stress.

NOWATCH senses stress levels in real time using EDA also known as skin conductance, with algorithms developed by Philips, which is superior to the heart rate measures used by other well-known wearables. The NOWATCH connects with an intuitive app developed by the company and is available for iOS and Android.

NOWATCH will attend CES January 5-8th as one of 70 companies chosen in an initiative by the Dutch government to support innovation of startups and scale-ups. At CES, they are located in the Netherlands Tech Square (61928 Sands Eureka Park) and are part of the Netherlands’ exhibit of “Tech Solutions for a Responsible Future.”

“Because of the COVID surge we have been concerned about going to a large convention like CES, but now, more than ever, is the time to introduce our product to the world. Our goal is simple: to give people the time to act before stress becomes too crippling to handle, especially in this time of heightened anxiety,” said CEO Hylke Muntinga.


NOWATCH resets your relationship with technology so that it works for you subtly, securely and with complete privacy. The wearable is designed with interchangeable disks (labradorite, amethyst, white agate, lapis lazuli, tiger’s eye, malachite and falcon’s eye), which have been ethically sourced in India.


NOWATCH supports its stone crafts team with best practices and optimum working conditions. “In November 2021 we had a successful product EXPO at the Music Academy of the West in Santa Barbara, CA. We are excited about introducing the NOWATCH Living Lab, our research and development program that seeks to understand flow states, focus, awareness and the influence of stress, sleep and balance for elite musicians, athletes and other performers. Researching our new technology and elevating the human experience is central to our mission,” said Tim Manschot, President of NOWATCH.

connected-living-announces-partnership-with-temi,-a-companion-device-and-telehealth-delivery-robot

Connected Living Announces Partnership With Temi, A Companion Device And Telehealth Delivery Robot

January 3, 2022 by

Connected Living and Temi announce a global partnership in response to the COVID-19 new world, in which the most at-risk population – our seniors – need enhanced ways to interact with family, community, and medical professionals all from a distance. Connected Living is now the U.S. partner and distributor of Temi powered by Connected Living, an interactive robot that’s been introduced to senior living and healthcare facilities.

The partnership with Temi is the latest addition to Connected Living’s comprehensive COVID-19 emergency toolkit, which enables senior living communities to manage outreach across all of its constituents, including those who work and live inside and outside the property. The suite of technology services geared at creating connected communities for seniors, includes a roster of pre-configured iPads, tablets, Alexa-enabled skills, a unique TV channel with programming designed for seniors, and a unique smartphone app that helps them stay more connected with their families and one another.

“We want to protect and connect our senior population, their caregivers, staff and families. Temi allows us to safely check temperatures at the door, set up family and doctor social or health visits, and interact with unlimited engagement content,” said Sarah Hoit, CEO and Co-Founder of Connected Living, which serves hundreds of senior living communities nationwide. “We need to do everything we can to bring health and wellbeing to our clients and to help stop the spread of COVID-19 in senior communities, while creating significant opportunity for socialization and healthcare visits.”

As the need to connect and protect our seniors is heightened during this COVID-19 global crisis, Temi can be used, in conjunction with Connected Living’s full suite of technology, to schedule both family visits and telehealth calls for anyone in the building and record the temperature of people entering the building or of current residents. This reasonably-priced robot, now being offered by Connected Living as the official U.S. distributor to the senior and healthcare market, can also be used as a “companion device” in the room to connect anytime with family, see interactive videos and content and help senior living community managers with “temperature capture.” Temi can also be used to ask for the foodservice menu or as a communication device to share safe, social distancing activities that might be occurring in the building.

One of the most innovative senior living communities in the country, and client of Connected Living, is Connecticut-based, Maplewood Senior Living, who introduced Temi to the marketplace by purchasing 30 robots for their new high-end Inspīr Modern Living community center in Manhattan, along with one additional Temi for use in all their other properties, allowing for immediate interaction with anyone a resident wants to connect with virtually. Temi has been lifting spirits and connecting residents with family members and doctors. “We are committed to continuously innovating the way we do things, and bringing the best of what the market has to offer to our residents,” says Eleonora Tornatore-Mikesh, Chief Experience & Memory Care Officer of Maplewood Senior Living. “While this has always been our commitment, being able to deliver social and emotional visits with family, and/or connect with a doctor in the resident’s room is critical at this time.”

Through vibrant digital screen “faces,” Temi interacts with humans via autonomous navigation, dynamic video, enhanced audio, and advanced artificial intelligence. Within senior living communities, the gender-neutral Temis function as companion devices with virtually endless possibilities for education, healthcare, and entertainment through a proprietary Connected Living Alexa skill.

“The entire concept for Temi came from a visit to my grandmother, when I realized she was struggling to handle her smartphone,” said Yossi Wolf, Temi Co-Founder and Chairman. “Partnering with Connected Living to bring the convenience of personal robots to thousands of other elders is truly the fulfillment of a dream, and knowing that we’re easing the burden on this population is incredibly rewarding. Connected Living is a big part of making this dream come true.”

That comfort level is essential because Temis are playing a vital role in delivering healthcare to seniors on lockdown. The robots have proven useful in connecting residents with family, but also with doctors for remote consultations on non- emergent care.

“Our mission is to do the most work where we can do the most good, so harnessing technology to connect and protect the people we love is our focus.”

Sarah Hoit, CEO & Co-Founder of Connected Living

Connected Living was recently featured in a case study by LeadingAge called, “Improving System-Wide Communication with Connected Living Enterprise Platform During the COVID-19 Crisis.” To request a copy of this case study or if you have a community in need of assistance to learn more about Connected Living and Temi, please email [email protected]

leomo-brings-wearable-motion-analysis-technology-into-performance-running

LEOMO Brings Wearable Motion Analysis Technology into Performance Running

January 1, 2022 by

With the release of its five new running-specific Motion Performance Indicators (MPIs), LEOMO Inc. has created a new digital paradigm to allow runners and triathletes to precisely understand the complexity of their entire gait cycle and make appropriate changes in real-time for optimal efficiency and performance while training and racing.


LEOMO’s Running MPIs track specific aspects of a runner’s gait cycle through five proprietary motion sensors and convert that data into coachable metrics via the new TYPE-S sports computer. Runners and triathletes can utilize LEOMO’s wearable motion analysis technology to make minor adjustments to their form during a run to improve speed and efficiency and can use those digital insights to develop the necessary strength, greater mobility and better postural control for long-term development.

LEOMO will explain the new Running MPIs via a free live webinar at 11 a.m. MDT on Thursday, May 7. To promote the launch, LEOMO is giving away three TYPE-S Sensor Kit Pro device packages to performance-oriented runners.    

“We believe all runners and triathletes can achieve a greater level of efficiency with our technology and be able to run better, faster and healthier,” said Kunihiko Kaji, CEO and co-founder of LEOMO. “For the first time, runners can understand precisely how their body moves and provide cues on how to improve their form. Those changes can lead to big gains in running performance.”

Each of the LEOMO Running MPIs measures specific aspects of a runner’s movement patterns and can help runners identify any weaknesses, imbalances and inefficient movements which may be adversely affecting their form. With specific insights gained from the MPIs — Strike Angular Range, Thigh Swing Speed, Recoil Angular Range, Heel Pitch and Smoothness — runners can develop more efficient habitual movement patterns by executing conscientious technique changes, appropriate form drills and strength exercises.

Strike Angular Range (Strike AR) is the measurement of the angular range of the foot as it swings back towards you before striking the ground. By improving symmetry and increasing angular range, a runner can increase the amount of propulsive force that goes into the next stride.

Thigh Swing Speed is the measurement of the maximum velocity of the thigh as it swings forward on each stride. High swing velocity is a key to fast running, and a reduction is often indicative of changes in form, timing, and fatigue.

Heel Pitch is the percentage of the stride that a runner is on ground generating propulsive force, and serves as a way to quantify the storing and releasing of forward energy of a runner’s stride.

Recoil Angular Range (Recoil AR) measures the range of how high your foot rises after leaving the ground on each stride. The higher the recoil range, the easier it will be to swing the leg during the subsequent swing phase.

Smoothness reflects the lateral smoothness of the pelvis during each stride and a runner’s dynamic control during the gait cycle. Greater smoothness indicates a higher level of coordination, stability and synchronization in a runner’s stride.

“Understanding how a runner moves with digital analytics is the key to short-term improvement, long-term development and reaching new levels of performance,” says LEOMO sports analyst, Joseph Cavarretta. “Once you understand the specific movement patterns that make up your running gait, you can begin to train your form and build strength to achieve greater uniformity, improved efficiency, and increased speed.”

The TYPE-S device provides runners with a tool to quantify athletic form, function, and performance via five IMU sensors, LEOMO’s proprietary motion tracking technology, and the LEOMO app interface. The TYPE-S also has access to the Google Play store, making it possible for athletes to use all of their favorite third-party apps to further enhance their training and racing experiences, and can automatically sync training and racing data to Strava and TrainingPeaks.

TYPE-S runs on the Android operating system which allows it to combine the functionality of a sports computer with the convenience of a phone. Wi-Fi connectivity and integration of a Nano SIM card allow a user to stay connected via 2G/3G/LTE connectivity. An athlete can use TYPE-S to email a coach, text training partners, call family members, and browse the internet before, during, and after a run from their TYPE-S device. Since its inception in 2012, LEOMO has developed new technological innovations in the endurance sports industry. LEOMO plans to continue developing new, groundbreaking solutions for high-performance athletes, coaches, fitters, and researchers. The goal is to create high-quality products that focus on the data necessary to optimize an athlete’s performance.

LEOMO launched the TYPE-S in January 2020 in two performance packages. The TYPE-S Sensor Kit Pro ($799) comes with five proprietary IMU sensors, sensor adhesives for attachment to the body, two sensor clips for attachment to running shoes, while the TYPE-S Sensor Kit ($449) includes two IMU sensors, sensor adhesives, and two sensor clips. You can view your running and motion data in real-time on the LEOMO app on the TYPE-S device or analyze and compare it from the online dashboard of the LEOMO Web Application. LEOMO’s running MPIs are also available on LEOMO’s TYPE-R device.

With air quality a massive concern in the home in many places globally currently, the Aerio 300 is able to analyse it within just three minutes and clean areas up to 1580 square feet, making it ideal for offices or at home.

The Smart Aerio 300 Air Purifier has a 5-in-1 filter system with a highly efficient H14 True HEPA medical-grade element to filter 99.97% of fine dust, animal hair, pollen, mites, air pollution, PM2.5 and ultrafine particles under 0.3 micrometers. The UVC LED helps to kill harmful viruses and bacteria in the air and in addition, the Smart Aerio 300 creates negative ions to keep the air clean. The activated carbon filter can also remove the smell of pets, kitchen smoke, cat litter smell, smoke smell and neutralize formaldehyde and other harmful substances

With a CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) up to 330m3 an hour, the Smart Aerio 300 can clean up to 1580 sq ft within 1 hour and 840 sq ft within 30 mins, producing fresh indoor air four times every hour, making it perfect for the living room, bedroom, and office. The purifier provides three purification modes including a sleep mode where the noise produced is less than 25 dB, so as not to disturb at night. The AUTOMATIC MODE on the device will accurately analyse the air quality and adjust the purifier to the appropriate power, implemented with high efficiency and energy-saving 40% for effortless clean, breathable air. It also includes a built-in negative ion generator.

With an AI Algorithm and sensors, the Smart Aerio 300 analyses the air quality of the environment in 3 minutes, and illustrates the results on its air quality ring light with blue symbolising excellent quality, green for good, orange for moderate and red indicating bad air quality. Using the free accompanying APP, more specifics can be viewed in detailed reports such as the particulate level.

The Smart Aerio 300 can be Voice Controlled via Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant and the APP allows for more than ten advanced features including remote direct control, scheduling purification sessions, replace filter reminds, scene-setting and the ability to share devices with the family or co-workers. The Purifier also has a CHILD LOCK function where its back shell design magnetic structure includes safety sensors so that the power supply is instantly cut off if it is opened.
