Fitness bracelet HealBe GoBe did come out in people

The Russian startup HealBe has long ago promised to release the fitness tracker HealBe GoBe , which can measure not only steps, pulse, but also pressure, as well as calorie content of products eaten by the owner.

Yes, it is - not the number of calories burned (although this too), but the number of calories ingested. It was even promised to show the percentage of fat, protein and carbohydrates. The release date of the bracelet was transferred several times, and the startup was generally suspected of fraud. As it turned out, it was in vain: yesterday, one such fitness tracker, a very real and workable device, entered the Medgadgets office. Photos under the cut made in the office just this morning.

Now the device is undergoing the final run-in (on the tested samples), and in a couple of weeks HealBe GoBe will be available. The current review is the first part of the tracker description, with a demonstration of its appearance and description of functions. Testing is the second part of the review, this part is posted here .

What is HealBe GoBe?

Externally, the device is different from any of the presented trackers. The front panel is slightly curved and looks more like a speaker. Interestingly, the design of the device was developed by Italian designer Josef Frakis, who previously worked on the Motorola RAZR.



A “speaker” is a small display of the original look, which can show the time consumed and calories burned. Unfortunately, there was no time to test the display, they worked mainly with the mobile application. A little later, photos of the working display will be posted.


This is a video from the developers, which seemed to many science fiction


This video was filmed even when many doubted the reality of the device's release (May 2014). The video shows one of the first options for the design of the tracker and packaging

HealBe GoBe Functions

• Sleep quality detector;
• Heart rate monitor;
• Pressure meter;
• Blood sugar sensor (direct data are not shown, but are used to calculate the caloric content of food consumed);
• Pedometer;
• Hydration sensor (shows how much water the body needs);
• Distance sensor.

Measurement of calorie foods is produced by a patented manufacturer of a company called Flow Technology. Previously conducted tests that showed the adequacy of the measurements. The Medgadgets also took a couple of measurements yesterday (after eating a bar with a known caloric value and the ratio of carbohydrates, fats and proteins).



In principle, testing the capabilities of the tracker showed that all the declared functions are relevant. Later on Geektimes the second version of tests, much more expanded will be published. Now they just tried the gadget at work, making sure it works.

So far, there are some inaccuracies that are caused, firstly, by the desire to quickly check everything without reading the instructions, and secondly - a couple of small problems showed up with the mobile application, but they will be fixed by releasing the update in two or three days.



All data from HealBe GoBe via Bluetooth is transmitted to the mobile application on the smartphone. Even more advanced functionality - from the web service HealBe GoBe.

When can I buy?

The first batch of HealBe GoBe will appear in Moscow in the middle of December (in any case, the manufacturer promises this). The approximate price is about 16 thousand rubles (the price is updated after a significant change in the exchange rate ).

This cost of the gadget is due to its functionality. In principle, this is not even a fitness tracker, but almost a medical device that can be used to fully control the activity of your body and check individual indicators.
