Zensorium’s Tinke wants to measure your fitness and stress levels

January 08, 2013

LAS VEGAS— One of the many fitness and health tech companies exhibiting products at this year’s Digital Experience showcase at CES was Zensorium, which demonstrated its flagship wellness product, the Tinke. A small, colored square with two round sensors, the Tinke is designed to measure heart rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygen level, and heart rate variability over time. All you need to do is attach the Tinke to their iOS device via the 30-pin dock connector (which means you can't use it with the iPhone 5), and then place their thumb over the sensors so the device can measure cardiorespiratory levels. Tinke captures blood volume changes from the fingertip using optical sensing and signal processing technologies. It takes thirty seconds to register (sixty if you’d like to measure your Zen Index or stress level via breathing). To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
