3.The vast majority of fitness trackers count your steps and are worn around the wrist,but now there's a device that's designed to be worn like a necklace and monitors tiny movements to improve your posture.The Fineck device aims to address neck pain by tracking tiny movement,spotting bad habits and suggesting exercises via an accompanying app.Made from silicone(硅)and titanium(钛),Fineck monitors a wearer's movement,balance,posture and movement thanks to sensors inside.The Mountain View California-based firm says that a high percentage of people suffer from neck pain and associated problems,probably caused by more individuals doing office jobs,which generally involve leaning over computer keyboard.
The device contains sensors,several different types of instruments to monitor movement,plus a monitor to shake.It connects to an iOS app via Bluetooth so that wearers can see their bad habits and play"neck training"games.The app warns of health risks and records a user's activity to build up a customer personal health description.The necklace shakes to give smart advice,such as reminding wearers to sit up straight.The app also allows users to set goals,like many other wearables do."Fineck is the first wearable device for your neck that tracks your neck activity and warn you when you are in a bad posture for too long.You can also exercise your neck with Fineck's interactive games."The company writes on Kickstarter."No matter where you are and what you are doing at office,on the go,or simply just feeling bored,Fineck will bring you enriched exercise experience through motion sensing games and therapies."
It also claims that it is"the world's first titanium wearable device".The metal is widely used in fashion stuff that you can wear or carry to match your clothes because it is lightweight,durable and does not tend to cause allergic(过敏的)reactions.It also offers additional features such as shaking to indicate alerts on a user's smartphone,but it is not currently clear whether it can also be used like bands,to count steps,and so on.
The Fineck has a battery life of around seven days and takes one hour to charge.It is available to pre-order via Kickstarter from$69(£44)and is due to ship in March next year.
