COVID-19: The smart band to alert uncontrollable face touching
By MYBRANDBOOK
Amid Coronavirus, people are also being advised to refrain from touching their face, as it may put them at the risk of contracting coronavirus pandemic.
As known, the virus, which is primarily transmitted from human contact, can get on to your hands from contaminated surfaces and move into your respiratory system, eventually making you sick. The device buzzes to stop you from touching your face (or even bringing your hand close to it).
Slightly Robot, a US based start up, modified its Immutouch, smart band to work as a face-touch detector.
Here how it works:
Once the user calibrate the band to detect hand-to-face gestures, its accelerometer starts working with a personalized algorithm to track the position of the hand.
It senses hand movement about 10 times per second and starts vibrating (a signal of hazardous action) as soon as one touches his/her face or come close to touching. As the buzzer rings every time user brings his/her hand to the face, the uncontrollable habit of face-touching might finally be addressed.
"By making you aware of each occurrence, you'll stop the habit of passively touching your face," says the Slightly Robot team. Further the team says, “Noting that the band can be paired with a companion app to check how well you have been controlling the urge”.
