Muse Wearable Launches Wrist Band For Detecting Covid Infection

In this pandemic, startups are coming up with new and innovative ideas to help the public. More innovations are made in the health and hygiene sectors. On that note, Muse Wearables has launched a wrist band that could diagnose early stages of COVID-19 symptoms.

The watch can detect the person’s skin temperature, heart rate, and SpO2 (blood oxygen saturation) to help in detecting the infection at the earlier stages. They have made it in such a way that it can be connected to the Muse Health App on our mobile via Bluetooth. It can also alert the users when they enter the COVID containment zone through Arogya Sethu App.

The emergency alert feature is also available in this product and it alerts in case the body temperature gets higher than usual. “We are targeting two lakh product sales this year with plans to achieve 10 lakh product sales by 2022 across the world. The investors believe in our innovations and believe that we can create a huge difference in the consumer tech space and we have been able to generate funding of Rs 22 crore,” says KLN Sai Prasanth, one of the founders of Muse Wearable and an IIT Madras alumnus.

“Our main objective with this product is to facilitate identification of patients who have COVID pneumonia sooner so that they can be treated more effectively,” says Prathyusha, one of the founders of Muse Wearables. She also added,” With continuous temperature and SpO2 monitoring, we will be able to detect silent hypoxia (an early symptom of coronavirus infection even in asymptomatic patients) at an early stage. This will also help the general public for proactive health monitoring along with fitness tracking and sleep tracking,”

 The product will be available in 70 countries from August with a market rate of Rs3500 per watch.
