GoBe is a wrist device specially designed to count calories in the human body. The company that manufactured the device claims that the machine has the ability to measure the calories consumed by the wearer. The great one discovery he already has many enemies…
Despite the specificity of his "work", GoBe's originality is not focused on his functional, which is identical to corresponding bracelets measuring heartbeats, but to a specific algorithm that adapts to it. HealBe founder George Micampiertz emphasizes that the equations involved in the algorithm took about a decade to implement.
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 a colossal company but by HealBe is another reason why the product is not appreciated. But Mikarperitze disagrees strongly with this idea:
"Great ideas don't have to come from big companies. Take Tesla for example. I didn't see the electric cars being produced by BMW, the Mercedes or Chevrolet. Smaller companies show a greater willingness to learn something new and promote something disruptive in the market, he emphasized.
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.
Of the CCS Insight Technology Board survey leaders, Ben Wood, says:
"GoBe can be the Holy Grail of such devices - bracelets," he said, while he concluded that:
"The really big ones benefits they will come if it is given to other companies too algorithm device"
So far 6,000 pcseyea have been put on the market, with their impressions expected to help determine whether the product is indeed too good to be true.
