It infuriates me and is quite scary to see how an excellent product like the Hypoband can be "trashed" by people who do not know how use it according to it's intended use, It is meant to be for indoor use only and is non water resistant.
The Hypoband watch is an intelligent Bluetooth interface, smart phone device that measures cold sweat. It works on smartphones and triggers for help via a phone call or short message service (SMS) when the threshold limits are met or the panic button is activated. It also has a standalone alarm mode.
Important: For indoor use only and non-water resistance.
The Hypoband App needs to be pre-installed to a smart phone prior to using the Hypoband. The App has to be launched after the Hypoband is on and paired the smart phone. The smart phone will be making the call, SMS or local alarm triggering upon being triggered by the Hypoband.
Hypoband is wristwatch like device which is to be wearing on wrist and measures skin temperature (which is lower than core body temperature) and perspiration. The device is non-invasive.
The Hypoband is light product design, elegantly designed and compatible to wear on varying size of wrist. It is patient friendly and comfortable to wear during night.
This product is not meant to diagnose, treat or cure or prevent any disease. It is purely a cold sweat alarm that works on remote connectivity. The Bluetooth range is typically within 10 meter radius coverage. It is not recommended to use Hypoband if this range is exceeded from the smart phone.
The Hypoband is designed primarily for Diabetics having Hypoglycemia attacks, with cold sweat being the predominant symptom. It detects cold sweat by measuring and displaying the temperature (oC) and humidity levels of the skin (%RH), whereupon upon the onset of cold sweat, a triggering call/SMS or alarm will be made by the smart phone in which the device is paired too.
Hypoband is intended as well for patients that exhibit cold sweat symptoms during a heart attack, seizure/epilepsy, etc. It is also applicable for the infirm that have a fall at home.
It comes with a panic button hence may be used for the old, sick and aged in case of an emergency, be it a fall, burglary, fire, etc, that needs response and aid to be given to them.
Hypoband detects the skin’s Temperature in degree Celsius and Sweat Levels in Humidity % of the person wearing it. Temperature of the skin is typically 32 oC ± 2, any readings dissimilar to this could mean, it is not worn properly. If it is not worn, then it will be measuring the surroundings or environment.
