The Baracoda BHeart uses energy harvesting technology to recharge itself through motion, body heat, as well as ambient light, to give the wearer “endless battery”. Baracoda claims that its patent-pending BMotion energy harvesting technology can be embeded within bracelets and straps that are compatible with any standard watch, allowing it to “blend into existing objects, fashion and routines”. “The first health trackers were important for establishing that wearable technology can encourage healthier lifestyles, but we must reach more than athletes to improve public health,” said Baracoda chief executive Thomas Serval. “People of all ages and fitness levels need easier ways to track their health, so we must design products that fit into everyone’s lifestyles, including people who don’t find today’s technology accessible or easy to maintain.” The energy generated is also sufficient to power a range of sensors to gather health metrics, as well as beam it to a companion iOS or Android smartphone or tablet.
