Ever felt the need to adjust your belt, especially after eating? Then you realize you are in public, and that wouldn’t be appropriate; well, this need has just been tackled by technology.
The smart belt technology is creatively designed to automatically adjust itself before and after eating. This feature supports weight loss strategies to help body trimmers monitor and lose weight efficiently.
The waist adjustment feature may seem to support overeating and obesity, but the smart belt technology monitors overall health with an inbuilt gyroscope, an accelerator and sensors located in the buckle for detecting movement and speed.
The smart belt connects to a smartphone App that keeps records of data collected throughout the day and sends suggestions and feedback regarding how the belt adjusts while in use via Bluetooth connection.It also notifies the wearer of a long time of inactivity, such as excessive sitting, standing or poor body posture, and driving speed.
Some industries have started exploring this technology to detect workers’ prolonged movements and/or postures, such as bending, sitting, and walking; it can also report a vehicle driver’s speed. Smart belt technology is also improvised to assist the elderly in fall detection and prevention.
