Release date: 2017-03-08 Echo Labs is a start-up funded by Start X incubator, a Stanford University startup incubator. Recently, the company has made leading progress in health monitoring. In recent years, some new wearable devices have emerged in the field of health monitoring. A tracker like Fitbit that monitors your heart rate is really eye-catching. But with the development of technology, people began to pursue wearable devices that can detect blood components. Echo Labs provides a patient's condition analysis for healthcare organizations to help patients get accurate care, reduce hospitalization rates, and reduce medical expenses. Echo Labs' first-generation wearable devices provide users with health data through continuous, industry-standard vital sign monitoring. Echo Labs is now finishing the second generation of devices. The company claims that this will be the first wristband tracker to test blood components. The company spent a lot of time researching and developing. The tracker uses optical sensors and spectrometry to test blood components and measure blood pressure, heart rate and respiration rate. Manufacturers of various health-wearing devices are actively developing new products. Before the release of the Apple Watch, people talked about wearing devices with health sensors. Finally, Echo Labs first released the details of its wristband before rushing to other teams. According to the company, the wristband measures blood components through light and some proprietary algorithm. Simply put, it emits electromagnetic waves through human tissue, then measures the reflection of different light frequencies, and finally detects the concentration of molecules in the blood. Oxygen molecules and carbon dioxide molecules have different properties, so they can reflect different frequencies. Each molecule has its own reflective characteristics for light. Ela Ferber, co-founder of Echo Labs, said the algorithm is powerful, so the blood component of the wearer can be detected whether it is sitting quietly while running. He also believes that his team can solve the problem of glucose in a few years. Another co-founder, Pierre-Jean Cobut, hailed the algorithm as "combining very complex mathematics and physics to predict signals." Cobut and Ferber founded Echo Labs three years ago. Their team is made up of leading medical researchers and biosignal acquisition and analysis experts, as well as statistical signal processing techniques. Echo Labs is a challenge not only to bring together multiple technologies, but also to make the products comfortable and precise. A company spokesperson told us that they hope to launch a consumer version within the next three months. Source: Hunting Cloud Network Youth Biotech CO,. Ltd. , https://www.youtherb.com
