Korean "Fitbit" with a heart rate monitor and a thermometer on the wrist: what else surprised South Korea

Partron from North South Korea (by the way, is a supplier of many electronic components for Samsung) decided to try its hand in the field of wearable electronics by creating a fitness bracelet, positioned as a device for a city dweller. This bracelet can not only measure the usual indicators of human activity (distance traveled, calories, etc.), but also give advice on how to improve one’s condition, measure stress and sleep quality.

Plus, the bracelet compiles all the collected information, analyzes this data, and provides a general assessment of the state of the human body. It takes into account the level of daily activity and stress, plus the quality of sleep.

How it works?

Here is a screenshot of the application where the bracelet sends data. All elements are quite logical, and the application interface is quite convenient.

In the application, the user can see the assessment of the quality of his sleep (here information is taken not only on the activity of a person at night, but also uses information about his pulse during sleep).

There is also an assessment of the level of stress (also uses data on the pulse) and the recovery of the body after considerable stress.

Of course, the creators of the bracelet could not do without the usual data, such as the number of steps a person took during a day, the distance covered, or the number of calories burned.

At the end, an assessment of the general condition of the person is derived, as mentioned above.

If desired, any of the parameters can be viewed in a more detailed view:



The “smart advisor” function allows you to improve your condition using the application information. For example, exercise more, relax at a certain time, etc.



The bracelet recognizes various types of workouts, including running, walking, cycling, and mountain walking.

Conclusion: Partron PWB-100 can not only be famous for its equivalents from Fitbit, Jawbone and other manufacturers, but a little more than the "stars". Such a device will really be useful for a resident of the city who wants to monitor their health, activity level and sleep quality. The presence of a body temperature detector is another positive side of the device, because few bracelets or even smart watches can boast the built-in thermometer.
