Unlike apps and wearable devices that require you to manually log the calories you consume, only GoBe™ 2 gives you automatic calorie management with Healbe FLOW™ Technology, the patented innovation that combines information from 5 sensors (impedance sensor, piezo sensor, galvanic skin response sensor, accelerometer, gyroscope) with an advanced algorithm to deliver comprehensive insights into whole-body health.

Only FLOW Technology uses readings from an impedance sensor, taken several times per minute, to measure dynamics of liquid in an extracellular liquid which is bound to entering of a glucose, throughout the day. GoBe measures these changes by sending high and low-frequency signals through your tissue to determine the fluid volume of your cells. Healbe FLOW Technology uses this information about your cell’s changing glucose concentrations to measure calorie intake.

Error-prone guesswork, different information on food product labels, the time-consuming process of manually logging what you eat and individual characteristics of your digestion system – all impede your motivation and fitness results. FLOW Technology uses your own body data to measure your physiological process, rather than a “standard” mathematical model, and effortlessly delivers this important and personalized information to your smartphone.

GoBe 2 uses FLOW Technology to help you monitor a wide range of your body’s parameters, including calories consumed, calories burned, activity level (distance traveled/steps taken), heart rate/blood pressure, hydration level, stress level/emotional state, and quality of sleep. This information is meant to help you stay on track with your fitness goals and live a healthy, balanced life.

GoBe 2 automatically tracks calorie intake without manual logging, error-prone guesswork or reading nutrition labels.

Our most recent algorithms no longer require you to push a button to indicate the start of a meal. Calorie intake measurement is reflected hourly in the GoBe app and online dashboard. Calories from digested food are immediately, and automatically, logged in the circle at the top left of the Energy Balance screen in the app.

The Energy Balance menu shows: 

• • The difference between calories consumed and calories burned displayed as a whole number at the top of the page reflecting the metrics plotted on the graph.
  • Calories consumed above the x-axis and calories burned below the x-axis.

Additional features

• • Swipe the graph to see data from a different time of day.
  • Swipe the table to see data from a previous day.
  • The graph shows nutrients that have been absorbed by your body from food and nutrients that are mobilized directly from the resources of the body (glycogen, fat).

• GoBe 2 does not detect calorie intake instantaneously because the food needs to begin the digestion process before it is detected by the band. Depending on the food you eat, this process can take anywhere between 20 min. and eight hours.

GoBe 2 learns your body’s normal water balance (a process that can take up to two days) and automatically monitors your hydration levels thereafter to let you know when you need to rehydrate.

• For GoBe 2 to accurately determine your normal hydration levels, it’s important to wear the wristband constantly for the first two days (except to charge, if necessary).
• You have the option to select the time interval during which GoBe 2 will alert you to DRINK within the app. This ensures the device will not interrupt you. Notifications are switched off between the hours of 9.00 pm and 8.00 am by default.
• If your body’s hydration level is low, the screen will read LOW. After drinking enough water, GoBe 2 will indicate you have returned to a normal state of hydration (NORM).
• When your GoBe 2 vibrates and displays DRINK, drink at least 200 ml/8 fl. oz. of water .
  • Mineral water provides the most efficient means of hydration.
• If GoBe 2 vibrates again reminding you to DRINK, your hydration level is still LOW and you need to continue drinking water to restore your normal hydration level.
• Food with high water content takes longer to register than drinking a glass of water, so GoBe 2 may still alert you to DRINK shortly after consuming these foods.
• Swipe the chart on this screen to see data from another day.

Your heart rate is constantly monitored by your GoBe 2 device.

GoBe 2 measures and update your heart rate every 5 seconds to help you see how you perform everyday tasks and how you can maximize your workout.

—  When GoBe 2 is on your wrist and synced with the app, your average heart rate over the last 5 seconds will appear at the top of the screen.

—  An overview of your average heart rate over five-minute intervals is displayed on the graph in the GoBe app.

—  Swipe left or right to see data from another day

GoBe 2’s sleep tracking function and Smart Alarm feature

• Track the duration and quality of your sleep each night.
• Provide comprehensive graphics in the GoBe app and web portal to show when you’re sleeping and your level of anxiety at different points throughout the night. The graph also shows REM and NREM phases and periods during the night when you were awake.
• Wake you up feeling refreshed by syncing your target wake up time with the end of the REM phase closest to that time (the end of a REM phase is the optimal time to wake up feeling energized).
• GoBe 2 tracks involuntary behavior throughout the night by monitoring physical activity and changes in heart rate. The graphic in the sleep menu on the GoBe app is generated by tracking the intensity of involuntary activity/movement during the night and heart rate changes, and the times at which they occurred. It shows anxiety levels, time awake and REM phases of sleep.
• Important: GoBe 2’s algorithms are programmed to only monitor sleep between the hours of 9 p.m. and 12 p.m. the next day.
