Is there a way to better track it and identify it? Yes, thanks to British industrial designer Hans Ramzan and UX designer Mily Sin. These two innovators have designed and executed a new gadget called Dip, a health monitoring wearable that is capable of measuring and estimate hemoglobin levels in real time without being invasive.
Dip is not a complex gadget; it is a simple one that mainly consists of three functions embedded in a soft silicone wristband and sensor device that can be used for setup, tracking, and analyzing. Once worn, the Dip uses Bluetooth to connect to its smartphone app, track data in real-life, and determine trends concerning hemoglobin levels to see if additional supplements or any lifestyle changes are required in the person’s current routine.
With increased awareness about an individual’s blood health, unnecessary blood testing can be eliminated and reduced; however, this device was not created to replace regular doctor’s appointments.
Also functioning as a digital watch, Dip will make a breakthrough in a market that is saturated with technology that caters to men. This invention will revolutionize many women’s lifestyles by allowing them to overcome their physical and emotional struggles.
