How I decided Helo Lx was not a scam...

Why Helo LX?

That's what I asked myself after being introduced to the Helo LX bracelet... So here are my thoughts...

My name is Bryan Kentner, DPM.  I'm a podiatrist, and as such I work with a large population of seniors.  My goal has always to keep my patients healthy, active and to allow them to remain independent for as long as possible.

Many of my seniors live on their own, which sometimes cause an issue with their children.  In my practice, I would recommend Life alert type products to help alleviate some of these concerns.  The product required a 3 year contract, and had a $50 monthly fee...  and lacked some features I wanted...

Along comes Helo LX...  At first glance, I wrote it off as a MLM scam fitbit with an SOS feature, marketing monitoring features that couldn't be real.  I researched the device, and what the sensors could, and could not do, expecting satisfaction that my first impression was indeed correct.

However, I found it used the same sensor I used in office (mine was a bit more expensive) to preform my vascular assessment, photoplethysmogram (PPG).   It also has a dedicated EKG/ECG plate, and is partnered with Toshiba for excellent processing power and quality construction.  Once you get past the marketing choice, Read the info below, and ask me any questions: Email me!

Vital Signs Monitoring
VITAL SIGNS MONITORING
The HELO Wristband Offers Continuous Monitoring of:

  •   Blood Pressure Rate
  •  Heart Rate (arrhythmia's)  
  •  Breath Rate (respiration)  
  •  ECG/EKG (Electro-cardiogram)  
  •  Respiration (breaths) Per Minute 
  •  Blood Oxygen Levels  
  •  Blood Temperature

HELO Measures your Breathing
The HELO wristband can measure your breathing in breaths per minute, and with all of its features enabled it’s powerful enough to actually notify a loved one automatically if breathing levels drop down below a predefined level! WOW! When the HELO wristband is finished performing the breathing test, it displays the breathing test results on the HELO App. You can repeat the test or choose to save the results for future comparison or for your doctor to review.
HELO Measures your Mood and Sleep
The HELO health monitor uses its Toshiba ApP Lite processor to calculate sensor data while using a technically advanced algorithm to measure your mood and energy. Once the HELO health monitor has finished its mood and energy calculations, the results are displayed on the HELO App. You can preform the test again or save the results to compare at a later date.
HELO Measures your Blood Preassure
Thanks to its Toshiba ApP Lite processor, the HELO wristband can perform Blood Pressure measurements with ease. Light sensors illuminate the skin measuring differences in light absorption. HELO uses this data to calculate your Blood Pressure measurement. The more measurements HELO wristband performs, the more accurate it becomes.
FITNESS AND HEALTH PARAMETERS MEASURED
  • Sleep Quality Pattern
  •  Calories Burned 
  •  Mood Analysis (emotions) 
  •  Fatigue/Energy Analysis 
  •  Stress Levels 
  •  Number of Steps Taken 
  •  Distance Walked

And they are adding new features, important ones currently in the testing phase are non-invasive Glucose monitoring (Diabetic finger sticks may be a thing of the past!), a heart attack monitor and blood alcohol testing.

Not all fitness trackers are equal...

When you are looking at a fitness band, we often buy the cheapest...  the one that barely performs what we wanted it to do, has no potential for expanding.  It's no wonder we become frustrated and stop using it.  Money wasted...   Sometimes, an investment in quality with the ability for upgrades is the better way to spend the money...  something that will meet your needs today, and in the future. Let me introduce you to HELO LX As you can see, the price point of Helo LX is comparable to the upper end fitness monitors.  But look at the features, especially the features being added! As you can see, Helo LX goes beyond a fitness tracker.  It is also the only one that is a business opportunity!  Just by buying a Helo LX, you become registered in the business...  all you have to do is share your personal website with anyone who asks about your bracelet....   Click here for more information!!

Author information 1 Department Signal Theory and Communications, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Campus Nord, Edifici D5, C/Jordi Girona, Barcelona, Spain. enric.monte@upc.edu Abstract OBJECTIVE: This work presents a system for a simultaneous non-invasive estimate of the  blood glucose  level (BGL) and the systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP)  blood  pressure, using a photoplethysmograph (PPG) and machine learning techniques. The method is independent of the person whose values are being measured and does not need calibration over time or subjects. METHODOLOGY: The architecture of the system consists of a photoplethysmograph sensor, an activity detection module, a signal
