New Wearable by Samsung Simband

Samsung Simband

On Wednesday Samsung revealed health-monitoring wearable, announced Samsung's Developer Conference in San Francisco.

A thick rubber band connects to a slightly curved touchscreen display. But the Simband isn't a smartwatch at all, it isn't even a consumer device at this point. The Simband is intended to be used by those within the medical industry — startups and medical researchers alike — to develop new applications for sensor technology. It's part of the company's broader shift to move its wearables from fitness tracking to health monitoring with the goal of enabling preventive healthcare and wellness.

This Simband wearable is equipped with six sensors, though its modular design means developers can add their own proprietary sensors as well. It comes with can keep tabs on your daily steps, heart rate, blood pressure, skin temperature, and how much sweat your sweat glands are producing.

The screen of the simband displays the time, date and shortcuts to the device's three main functions: trends, monitor and spot check.

Putting the device into monitor mode activates all six of the Simband's sensors and displays a real-time feed of all the stats being collected.

But data means nothing if you can't understand it and the Simband's software does a pretty good job at putting the measurements into context. Aside from the onboard dashboard, this information can also be tracked on the web when the device has synced over wifi.
