GoBe is a wrist device specially designed to count calories in the human body. The company that manufactured the device claims that the machine it has the ability to measure the calories consumed by the wearer. This great discovery already has many enemies...
Despite the specificity of his "work", the originality of GoBe, is not focused on functional of, which is identical to corresponding wristbands that measure heartbeats, but in a special algorithm that adapts to it. One of the founders of HealBe, George Mikabridge emphasizes that the equations involved in the algorithm took a decade or so to be implemented.
The challenge
Despite this impressive discovery, there are many opponents of the device. More specifically, many medical experts face it GoBe as a big scam, as they believe that software-algorithm operation can not lead to accurate results.
The fact that the device was not created by one of the giant companies but by HealBe is another reason why the product is not appreciated. Mikabaritze, however, strongly disagrees with this idea:
"It is not necessary that big ideas come from big companies. Take for example Tesla. I did not see electric cars being produced by BMW, Mercedes or Chevrolet. Smaller companies are more likely to learn something new and to promote something subversive in the market, he said.
The experiment
At BBC's initiative, GoBe's credibility was tested in an experiment in which Micampiertz himself took part. The results of the experiment showed that Micampiertas consumed 514 calories from 555 which should be the correct indication, with the percentage of accuracy being 85% which was considered to be absolutely positive.
From its leaders researchCCS Insight Technology Council's Ben Wood says:
"GoBe can be the Holy Grail of such devices - bracelets," he said, while he concluded that:
"The real big benefits will come if other machines are given the device algorithm"
So far 6,000 tracks have been marketed, with their impressions expected to help if the product is really good to be true.
