(BConnect's universal platform makes healthtech easy)
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 3, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- #CES2022 -- It's brilliant when all the smart health devices you use for grooming and self-care automatically connect to their respective platforms. No pulling out your smartphone to open an app, no dangling wires to keep you connected. This is what the BConnect Hub delivers, and it's the first step in Baracoda Daily Healthtech's Bathroom of the Future.
Set up a family dashboard and access it when you want - whether that's once a day, once a week, or after you know you've had a good diet month. And thenconsider the larger implications…
"The big picture for healthtech and devices that keep track of biorhythms and habits is to move toward technology as the driver for prevention and wellness, to change lives and empower self-care, and to make this technology affordable and accessible to those who need it most," says Thomas Serval, CEO and cofounder of Baracoda.
The daily self-care and grooming routines that occur in a household's bathroom offer the potential to gather the quantitative data necessary for clinical studies that focus on behaviors and preventive health care. At the core of the collective connectivity to gather real-time patient data to share with researchers and/or a patient's healthcare provider is the BConnect Hub, a sleek plug-in device that serves as a universal receiver for all connected devices on Baracoda's BConnect encrypted, interoperability protocol.
Baracoda's Bathroom of the Future creates a full connected ecosystem of products that privately (with opt-in, of course) collect data from all selected smart devices to make it easy for individuals to track their self-care progress through a personal dashboard. So whether you're checking your weight, combing your hair or scrambling to get ready for the day's activities, your quantified metrics will be waiting for you whenever you're ready to take a look.
