TAIPEI, Jan. 12, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The overweight population is continuing to rise rapidly worldwide. According to WHO, nearly 39% of adults worldwide are overweight. Furthermore, the global weight management market is expected to top US$ 294.2 billion in 2027.
One of the ways to control body weight is controlling metabolism. Thus, to prevent weight gain, a person must know his/her resting and physical activity energy expenditure. Traditionally, metabolic analysis requires an expensive test done in hospitals that provides passive observation and results that are difficult to interpret.
Gene-Hub is here to help you maintain a healthy life
Gene-Hub is solving the challenges of obtaining metabolic analyses with its Meta G - Accurate Monitor Your Metabolism. It is a portable, hand-held, and light-weight device able to fit in your coat pocket and easy to carry around. Meta G allows users to measure metabolism with a simple breath to estimate their 24-hour metabolism to the minute. Meta G is a consumer electronics device that is competitively priced, energy efficient, and supports multimode connections.
This Gene-Hub product is the world's first handheld metabolic device, allowing accurate measurements of the respiratory exchange rate and basal metabolic rate through breathing to estimate the user's body metabolism in real time. Moreover, the user can actively measure the body's metabolism at home, and may help reduce the demand for medical services and related costs.
With the mobile app, the body's metabolism data can be collected and stored in the cloud. Through big data analysis, the device can serve as a personalized nutrition consultant and provide personalized diet and exercise programs. This pioneer device actively tracks your body metabolism and your exercise. The system can gather more information about our metabolism beyond simple data such as heart rate.
Integrating app generates visualizations of personal metabolic data
One of the salient features of Meta G is an app that provides data in categories including healthcare, exercise optimization, nutrition recommendations, and telemedicine.
The healthcare tab includes data on daily physical checks, personalized healthcare plans, and weight loss plans. The exercise optimization includes exercise amount, virtual trainers, and online competition.
The nutrition recommendation tab allows for nutrition consultation and AI-generated diet suggestions, while telemedicine provides online doctor consultations, AI-generated medical suggestions, and long-term care.
