How does GoBe3 track burned calories?

HEALBE GoBe measures calorie expenditure by calculating two types of energy expenditure: your basal metabolism (the number of calories your body consumes to maintain basic functions at rest) and your physical activity, measured by a nine-axis accelerometer and pulse monitor.

How long is GoBe3 and GoBe2 battery life?

The battery capacity of the HEALBE GoBe bands is quite large — up to 370 mAh. It allows GoBe smart bands to provide more than 32 hours of continuous measurement without additional recharging.

GoBe continuously and seamlessly measures about 30 of your body’s measurements at rates ranging from 5 seconds to 10 milliseconds. Every moment, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, it monitors your body condition, providing you with the most accurate data on all the most important parameters of your body and lifestyle.

We recommend charging your GoBe when your body isn’t digesting anything, so you don’t lose any valuable calorie data. For instance, you might do this in the morning, right after you wake up.
 
You can also extend the life of your GoBe on a single charge, as it depends a lot on how often you sync your band with the HEALBE app. For optimal battery life, we recommend you sync your device no more than 3-5 times a day.
Is GoBe3 waterproof?

HEALBE GoBe3 is a 1 ATM splash-resistant smart band. It can sustain accidental exposure to water, including, for example, splashes, perspiration or accidental immersion. Still, it should not be exposed to any water pressure.

This means that, while you can take a shower with your GoBe3, wear it in the rain, or during intense training, you should not swim with it in the pool or, especially, in the sea. Salted seawater could damage your GoBe3.

Also, before using HEALBE GoBe3 in the water, please make sure that the charging socket plug is closed.

Yes, absolutely! GoBe3 with MIP-display is very comfortable to use as a usual watch too, you can see the current time on its display at any moment even at the brightest sunlight.

What features does GoBe3 support?

HEALBE GoBe3 is the world’s first smart band featuring an automatic calorie intake counter and body water balance tracker.

GoBe3 automatically counts and tracks:
• Energy balance
• Calorie intake
• Calories burned
• Water balance
• Stress level
• Sleep quality, anxiety and duration
• Pulse (constant, 24/7)
• Steps and distance walked

The HEALBE app also features:
• Weight dynamics tracking
• Weight goals management
• Data syncing with Apple Health/Google Fit

Is there a “learning” period for the GoBe calorie counting feature?

Yes, indeed, the automatic learning process of your smart band can take from two days to two weeks of consistent smart band use. We use machine-learning algorithms that learn from your body’s data, so the more you wear the device, the more accurate the results are.

Usually, the accuracy of GoBe’s calorie intake monitoring improves over the first 24 hours of use or longer due to several factors that are unique to each individual:

• First, many factors influence metabolic processes within the user, including the amount of food consumed, level of physical activity, stress levels, amount and quality of sleep, and finally, how long the user’s stomach has been empty.
• Second, different foods take different times to be digested and consumed, so calorie peaks on your HEALBE app do not always appear at the exact time you were eating, but may appear later on as these slow-digesting foods are finally utilized by your body for energy.

As GoBe learns your specific physiology, calorie intake becomes more accurate.

What apps does GoBe3 integrate with?

GoBe3 currently supports integrations with Apple Health and Google Fit.

What research and patents are behind the HEALBE FLOW technology?

The latest research related to FLOW technology was conducted in the USA and China. A short summary of the study is provided below.

USA
In the fall of 2018, the Institute of Nutrition at the University of California, Davis, conducted a study on the calorie-tracking functionality of GoBe bands. The scientists compared the accuracy of the device vs. manual calorie counting.

Twenty-seven volunteers wore GoBe smart bands for 14 days under the supervision of specialists. To estimate their average daily caloric intake, the data was grouped into three-day intervals. GoBe readings and the manual calorie count from diaries differed in accuracy by 10%.

So HEALBE GoBe demonstrated up to 90% accuracy among healthy adult volunteers if accuracy is measured as 100% minus 10% error.

China
At the end of 2018, the Red Cross Hospital in Guangzhou conducted a pilot study of the calorie-tracking function of the GoBe smart bands. The volunteers were asked to wear HEALBE GoBe for two weeks. The data was grouped into three-day intervals to estimate average daily caloric intake.

The average daily caloric intake value obtained using GoBe and the results of manual counting differed by only 16% this time.

More details on these researches are available on our website.

You can also see our patents by visiting worldwide.espacenet.com.

The list of patents includes but is not limited to:
• Method for Detecting Water Deficiency in a Human Body;
• Method for Measuring the Glycemic Index of Human-Consumed Food;
• Method for determining a person’s sleeping phase which is favorable for waking up.

How does this work? How to wear GoBe properly?

HEALBE FLOW™ Technology requires no blood testing and no manual logging. GoBe exclusively uses information about your body to tell you how many calories you’re really consuming.


How automatic calorie counting works:

• When you eat, food travels to your stomach to be broken down and digested.

• From the moment you eat the food until several days later, your body begins to convert it into the basic nutrients — glucose, and its derivatives. This process takes different time for everyone and depends on what you eat and your body’s unique physiology;

• During digestion, cells absorb nutrients and release water into the intercellular space;

• GoBe uses a bioelectrical impedance sensor to measure the fluid moving in and out of your skin cells — continuously, around the clock.

• Built-in HEALBE FLOW™ technology uses a patented algorithm to analyze bioimpedance and other sensors’ data to provide you with the number of calories obtained from food.

We recommend wearing HEALBE GoBe smart bands for more than 20 hours a day, exactly because this will provide you with the most accurate data about your body regardless of the time of food processing.

GoBe3 usage limitations

Please note that while HEALBE designed GoBe smart bands to provide information about conditions and trends in the physical condition of your body, they are not intended to be used as a medical tool and should not be used to diagnose, treat, replace professional medical advice, or prevent disease.

The physiological model used in HEALBE smart bands is designed for a healthy adult body. This means that GoBe smart band’s measurements may become less accurate if there are significant abnormalities in your physical condition.

The error in GoBe measurements may increase:

  • During pregnancy or lactation
  • In people under 13 or over 65 years of age
  • With disorders: water and salt balance, cardiovascular, glandular, metabolic and psychiatric disorders related to dietary patterns
  • While taking medications that affect the water-salt balance, cardiovascular system or metabolism. In case of severe deviations from normal air humidity or atmospheric pressure
  • In other conditions that differ significantly from the physiological norm. Such as a climate that is very unfamiliar to you, several sleepless nights in a row, or a sudden change of time zones.

Not all abnormal conditions affect the values in the same way, and the abovementioned is an incomplete list of diseases and conditions that can affect GoBe data. So, if you are unsure — just write us at gobe@healbe.com or via web-chat to check if GoBe is right for you.

How does GoBe measure basal metabolism?

HEALBE GoBe3 measures calorie consumption by calculating two types of bodily activity: your basal metabolism (the energy your body consumes to maintain organ and cellular functioning) and your physical activity, measured by a nine-axis accelerometer and heart rate monitor.

If you have time during the day when you temporary don’t wear your GoBe, the app c to calculate the first component (your basal metabolism) by making assumptions based on your personal data such as age, gender, weight and height, etc. specified in your profile, but the portion of energy usage from your physical activity will have a high level of error, making your total energy consumption value less accurate.
