Hiyd Launches Health Tracker That Attaches to Existing Watches
Hiyd, a startup founded by former Apple engineer Salah Batroukh, has developed a compact health tracker that attaches to the back of existing watches using microsuction technology. The device is designed to collect biometric data such as heart rate and sleep patterns without altering the appearance or functionality of the watch it's attached to. The company aims to blend fashion with function by offering invisible health tracking, avoiding bulky wearables typically associated with fitness devices. Hiyd’s sensor syncs with a mobile app that provides insights into how diet affects performance and sleep quality. The team is using AI to analyze user data for personalized feedback on activity patterns. Hiyd plans to launch its product via Kickstarter in November after securing over 16,000 deposits from interested customers. It will also showcase at TechCrunch Disrupt as part of Startup Battlefield.
