To health! Ten most interesting new products of 2014
Last month I wrote about wearables in sports and medicine . The health trend continues to evolve, and now manufacturers offer more and more solutions - both external and embedded in smartphones and other familiar devices.
One of the first innovations presented this year is the Intel headphones, which are capable of selecting music depending on the heart rate of its owner. Moreover, they will set the owner to workout, choosing the best music for the target pulse.

One of the main events of the year - Mobile World Congress - also pleased Samsung fans and a healthy lifestyle: the Galaxy S5 will come with S Health 3.0 pre-installed. This is a fitness tracker with a pedometer, diet planner and exercise diary. In addition, for the first time, a special heart rate sensor appeared in the smartphone - it should work much better than the “heart rate monitor” applications based on working with the camera.
The smartphone will be available on April 11.
For the convenience of working with S Health 3.0, you can additionally purchase a Gear Fit smartwatch with a curved screen.
Also in Barcelona, ​​the novelty was presented by Alcatel. One Touch Pop Fit is a super budget smartphone designed specifically for fitness. Already in the kit is a case that allows you to carry the device on the wrist and shoulder, and among the pre-installed applications is the RunKeeper GPS tracker.
The smartphone is equipped with a 2.8 inch display of 320 x 240 pixels, runs on a dual-core MediaTek 1 GHz, and the RAM in it is only 512 MB. Built-in memory - 4 GB. But the price is only 89 euros, so it will not be a pity to kill him at the stadium. It should appear in May.
This year, CES and MWC presented a lot of “smart watches” that can work in conjunction with or without a smartphone. Finding the best option, not focusing on the brand of the smartphone, is becoming increasingly difficult. For example, in the TalkBand B1 watch, which can serve as a headset, the manufacturer (Huawei) for some reason did not integrate the heart rate monitor. Some users also do not like the design.
Epson decided to enter the market of fitness trackers and smart watches, presenting two such devices at once - a bracelet and, in fact, a watch. Both gadgets, unlike most "smart" watches, are able to track the pulse. Of course, they consider the calories, sleep patterns, the level of activity of the host due to the patented Epson biosensors and accelerometer.
Sales of Epson Pulsense Band PS-100 and Epson Pulsense Watch PS-500 should begin this summer. They will cost around $ 129 and $ 199, respectively.
Not cheated this year and the beautiful half of humanity. The image is not a cheap trinket from the nearest transition, but a bracelet that analyzes the activity of solar radiation, transmits data to the smartphone along with recommendations for the hostess - is it worth it to hide away from the sun or apply a protective cream. Recommendations will be issued depending on the type of skin mistress.
A gadget designed by Louis Vuitton and Harry Winston costs $ 99. The colors are gold, platinum and bronze.
The device Zensorium Tinke is able to measure not only the pulse, but also the saturation of blood with oxygen. There are two types of devices - for iPhone and Android.
Garmin has decided to take care of corporate employees - after all, a sedentary lifestyle for health is of little use. The VĂvokĂ device is mounted on clothing and transmits activity data to the Garmin Connect portal, without requiring any action from the user. The activity bar of the company's employees is available on the portal.
The device allows you to measure not only the pulse, but also blood pressure, transferring data directly to the smartphone. It is much more convenient for people for whom not only the pulse is important - for example, for our parents and grandparents.
The pulsator V800 from the company Polar, which is famous for its achievements in this field, has gained a very interesting ability: on the basis of data on the user's activity, he finds out how long his owner needs to rest between workouts. The device also measures the pulse during swimming, has a built-in sensor for measuring pressure and a GPS tracker. The device can send data to a smartphone or store it in itself. Since the gadget is designed for professionals, the price is appropriate - it can be bought in April for $ 449.95.
