Samsung eyes IoT health belt with Welt
Samsung | January 06, 2016
Samsung has demonstrated a prototype healthcare wearable that “looks like a normal belt”. The creation from the company’s C-Lab is said to offer “a more discreet way of using smart sensor technology to monitor health” than other wearables, which are typically worn on users’ wrists. Called the Welt – presumably a portmanteau of wearable and belt – it is said to be “capable of recording the user’s waist size, eating habits and the number of steps taken, as well as time spent sitting down.”
