Amazon has just launched a new service dedicated to health and fitness and the company is offering it via a band called Halo. The subscription service offers a range of health metrics like activity, sleep, body fat, and tone of voice analysis. The service is already available for early access.
The band's appearance is quite similar to a Fitbit tracker. It also has temperature sensing and a microphone. It has one button and interestingly, no screen as all the data that it tracks will be available to view on the service's mobile app.
The membership costs $65 for the first six months and $3.99 a month after that. The subscription allows access to the basic fitness band that tracks heart rate, steps, and temperature.
The Halo band is able to do a body fat analysis via a smartphone camera. Halo focuses the body fat percentage which is less volatile as compared to weight, which can fluctuate on the basis of factors like humidity, medication, menstrual cycle, illness, etc.
To get your body fat analyzed via Halo, all you have to do is take a photo of yourself from your phone's camera. Halo will scan the photo, calculate body fat percent based on body indicators, and generate a 3D model of your body. The app recommends taking a photo while wearing minimal form-fitting clothes. The process is fast and easy, and saves you from running to a lab to get a body composition analysis.
Amazon also ensures that the photos taken will stay on your phone and will not be shared with anyone, including the company. As explained by Amazon, "the images are processed in the cloud, but encrypted in transit and processed within seconds, after which they're automatically deleted from Amazon's systems and databases. All scan images are fully deleted within 12 hours. The scan images aren't viewed by anyone at Amazon and aren't used for machine learning optimizations.".
