This is one of the great surprises of CES in Las Vegas: the BBalance connected bath mat. Well, it is not really given since its marketing price has been set at 449 dollars, or about 395 euros. But it does so many things that can improve your everyday health and well-being that the question of investment arises.
The French group Baracoda Daily Healthtech is behind this original creation. Their niche is health via connected high-tech objects. Their first connected bath mat is proof of this. Equipped with a fingerprint reader and artificial intelligence, the BBalance is not only a bath mat but also a scale and a health record. To put it simply, it protects your body and guides you so that you have better posture, better balance, better physical condition.
The first function of this bath mat is, like all the others, to dry the feet. Then comes the analysis of the body. How ? By raising 4000 pressure points. This makes it possible to calculate weight, control posture and balance, analyze body composition. A sort of body check-up which then makes it possible to then offer people thus analyzed physically to do exercises to take care of their overall health. Because beyond a daily monitoring that does no harm to anyone, the connected bath mat is intended to anticipate and help reduce pathologies and pains such as the famous back pain but also neck or head pain. A coaching system - which is on the linked application, to be downloaded on your smartphone - offers solutions and offers programs to follow in order to keep in shape and anticipate health concerns (yoga, stretching, exercises, meals, etc.) . It will therefore take a little more effort than putting your feet on the bath mat for the benefits of the latter to be real.
