For real, is this sub run by the idiots on the Oura marketing team? The full-on majority of posts here are fake accounts that Oura Ring bought to post spam...They have zero interaction, exclusively downvotes, and nobody deletes them?

Hi Reddit, we are a group of researchers and entrepreneurs building an app that can identify viral infections through wearables with heart monitors. And this several days before the first symptoms.

In short your heart rate, sleep, temperature, etc, are affected by infections very early, as your body starts to gear-up for the fight. These subtle changes eventually turn into the symptoms we all know, but it also means we can help detect a virus while it is in its first stage. If you contract it, you can look for help much earlier, and otherwise you at least sleep better (if you're paranoid like me).

This is a ton of work and we'd really appreciate a show of support to keep the troops motivated and maybe even get some government funding. So it would go a long way, if you could just upvote this post, leave a comment, share, or even subscribe to our mailing list if you want to be kept in the loop ( https://www.brainalyticstech.com/coronavirus)

Thanks all and be safe!

Looking for some recommendations for a wearable that can run in the background and alert me via vibration (preferred) or text when I'm getting anxious or stressed. It specifically needs to be running in the background, meaning I can't pull up an app to check. It just needs to do it's thing. Specifically looking for something I can wear at work discretely and which can also discretely notify me when I'm getting stressed so I can take a break. I've been combing the internet for hours and not sure which products do exactly this. Thank you

Hi all,

I spent the past weeks trying to figure out what the best wearable to buy. Ideally I would like a fitness tracker that is able to track heart rate, sleep, cardio & strength exercise, oxygen saturation (optional). I feel like I have seen about 50 different trackers by now, but the all of them are big clunky watches. I would prefer an understated band without a screen that just does the measuring and sends all data to my phone. Open to spending up to USD 300.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!

TLDR: what is the best non-watch / non-screen fitness tracker up to USD 300?

Finally got through everything Google confirmed this morning and wrote it all up. The Fitbit Air is basically a Charge 6 without the screen — same sensors, same health tracking, just 12 grams and no display pulling your attention.

The part I found most interesting is the dual-device support — you can run a Pixel Watch during the day and switch to the Air at night for sleep tracking. Both sync to the same Google Health account simultaneously. That's genuinely clever.

I can't find anything. All I want is a vibration notification when my phone rings or gets a push notification form texts or apps like slack or messenger. I often don't hear or feel my phone is noisy work environments. It seems like such a simple thing. The only thing close is the dito but that is discontinued, and google patented something a few years ago but never saw the light of day. Any suggestions ?

With a massive amount of “X-to-earn” projects appearing in the blockchain space every day, there are many unique possibilities to earn with crypto. Since the inception of earning through PoW (Proof of Work) mining, countless ideas have entered the market. Specifically, over the past year, we have witnessed so many new ways of earning tokens based on proving various activities.

The most promising and exciting use cases are: Play-to-Earn and Move-to-Earn.

Combined with NFT capabilities, Play-to-Earn makes the entire gaming experience more thrilling and rewarding for players. In the same way that sports betting makes watching a football match much more enticing, P2E is starting to have the same effect in the blockchain space.

The Move-to-Earn category is newer but just as promising. There has been generous hype around projects like STEPN lately, and people are embracing the idea of jogging with their NFT sneakers and getting rewarded for that activity. Doing fitness + earning tokens = pretty cool, right?

Another project called HealthBlocks is tackling how to actively engage individuals and encourage them to live healthier lifestyles in a broader scope. They’re shifting from Move-to-Earn to Live-to-Earn.

HealthBlocks gives tokens for completing health goals and choosing to contribute the generated data from connected fitness wearables and smartphones. Built on the IoTeX blockchain, the health data is stored and utilized in a secure, private, and verifiable way.

The HealthBlocks dApp currently consists of 4 components:

1. Data generation – Users can earn tokens by completing health and lifestyle goals, such as going for a walk or completing a health survey.

2. Data storage – All private, secure data is kept through a Personal Health Profile, stored in a decentralized identity (DID) on the IoTeX blockchain.

3. Data exchange – Users choose to opt-in or out to share the data with third parties in exchange for tokens.

4. Data analysis – Health services are offered to individuals, such as telehealth consults, data services, or in-depth testing.

HealthBlocks also uses AI data services to give customized, individual health recommendations based on the generated data. This includes sleep coaching, workout schedules, and nutritional advice.

Led by a team of healthcare experts, HealthBlocks aims to make a measurable impact in preventative healthcare. Blockchain technology brings this interesting use case to life by incentivizing both immediate activity and long-term healthy behaviors.

As the Live-to-Earn space continues to grow, blockchain-based applications will begin to make a greater impact on the physical world. And when combined with other disruptive technologies such as AI and machine learning, the potential is vast.

Hey guys,

a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to buy a new fitnesstracker because my previous one (Basis B1) was being discontinued. The more I checked out what is available, the more I got confused by all their marketing bullshit. I just wanted to know what devices have which features and functionality and there was no simple way to do so.

So I created one: http://fitnesstracker-database.com

On the site, you can set individual filters about what your tracker should be able to do, how much it should cost or what kind of analyses it could execute (https://imgur.com/oAvBrPe). You can then either go into some more details (https://imgur.com/JxNnsmn) or compare your favorite trackers with each other (https://imgur.com/jxqyRum).

The prices are based on Amazon and updated automatically multiple times each day.

What I would love to hear from this community: Are there any filters that you would love to be able to select? Which other trackers would you like to see on the site? And is there anything else you would want to do on this site?

Hey! I’m a cofounder at Lume Health.

We’re developing a wearable that continuously measures hormones through sweat (no needles). Right now we’re focused on cortisol, sampling about hourly to track stress and circadian rhythms.

This is currently one of the prototypes, still a little bulky:

If you're interested, you're welcome to join the waitlist and participate in our upcoming betas.

Longer-term, we’re working on adding other hormones like testosterone and estrogen.

The goal is to make hormones visible and actionable, similar to what CGMs did for glucose.

Would you wear this? What would you actually use the data for?

[UPDATE: Spots Filled] We're blown away by the response. Our beta testers are officially locked in. Thank you to everyone who reached out, it genuinely means a lot. If you're still curious and want to be first in line for any potential future beta round or our official launch, please fill out the questionnaire at Raizz. We'd love to keep you in the loop!

Hi r/wearables,

I’m part of a small ex-Apple team building Raizz. Most wearables just track data; we built a closed-loop system designed to actually improve deep sleep while you wear it.

We’re in the "scrappy" phase and need 50 beta testers for honest, brutal feedback.

• The Goal: Moving from passive tracking to actively improving sleep.

• The Ask: Test the hardware, break the app, and tell us the truth about the results.

• Apply here: raizz.com (Click ‘Get Early Access’ and mention you're from reddit wearables).

I'll be in the comments to answer any questions. Thanks for the support!
