Development Background
Kyocera developed the world’s first portable wellness device for estimating carbohydrate metabolism by analyzing pulse-wave patterns with a gyro sensor. Once the user touches the device to their wrist, the monitor measures pulse waves to estimate carbohydrate metabolism in the blood in around 8 seconds, and the result is then visualized via a smartphone. Since it uses a gyro sensor which is commonly used in everyday electronic devices such as smartphones, the company believes it will be able to offer the product at an affordable price once commercialized.
