Quantification is the most powerful tool for clarifying issues and making the best move toward problem solving. Not just in business, but in your personal life as well. Training, sleep, sex... Quantify everything around you and boost your performance!
Do you really understand your body? Grasping the condition as an objective number, not intuitively, should improve your daily performance. The first step to good health is to start by knowing your body.
Subcutaneous fat/abdominal circumference
Subcutaneous fat: Velo ¥24,990 (Velo/Three-R system details here) Waist circumference: PIE mini ¥6,490 (BAGELLABS/EFG Mail: support@enjoyfg.com) *Scheduled to be released in 2022.
What really should be measured is the subcutaneous fat around the abdomen. Changes in weight are easy to check, but the thickness of belly fat is difficult to see. If you want to manage your body shape more accurately, you can try measuring your subcutaneous fat. The body fat scanner "Bello" measures visceral fat and subcutaneous fat simply by placing it on your stomach and pressing a button, and records the values with the app. I want to use the smart measure "PIE mini", which can digitize and manage the measured value, to measure the waist circumference as well and use it for physical condition management.
breathing
Active+ Halo Smart Mask Black $99.99 (Click here for AIRPOP details)
A smart mask with a built-in sensor that can also detect the air pollution level Masks that have become a daily necessity. Since it is worn for a long time, there is no reason not to use this as a numerical tool. I want to choose this smart mask there. When you wear it, the built-in sensor detects your breathing and automatically starts measurement. Via the app, you can check your breathing frequency and speed in detail. Furthermore, it is surprising that it monitors the air quality around you from the contaminants attached to the filter.
urine
Bisu Price undecided (Click here for Bisu details) * Scheduled to be released in the United States in 2022.
"Bisu" is an epoch-making self-urine test device that does not require paper cups or test tubes for nutrition management with a clean and highly accurate smart urine test. Simple to use. Simply place a few drops of urine on a test stick containing a microfluidic chip and place it on the device. It measures 11 items such as magnesium, vitamin C, and uric acid, and manages and shares the data. An expert will check the results of the urine test at home and give advice. Such a future is just around the corner.
wave
Rayonex PS10 ¥913,000 (Germany Rayonex / Belen Craft Mail: info@rayonex.co.jp)
"Reyocomp" was developed by German engineer Paul Schmidt, who can be said to be the father of new selective wave medicine, a wave measuring instrument that you want to incorporate into your health management. His theory is that each organ in the human body has a unique frequency of wave motion, and that wave motion changes when sick. This device grasps something like a dowsing rod connected to a measuring device and senses the turbulent vibrations in the body. By resonating with the waves in the correct state, it is a mechanism to adjust the turbulence.
EEG
FocusCalm ¥25,000 (GoodBrain/Hacosco https://goodbrain.jp)
"FocusCalm", which visualizes the inside of the brain numerically to increase concentration, is a headband-type electroencephalogram measuring device that can visualize and monitor the state of the brain. Displays brain wave activity and stress levels in real time. In addition, you can relax your brain through various games prepared in the dedicated app (separate usage fee) and the meditation sound function that adjusts your breathing. Working on a daily basis reduces stress and leads to improved brain performance.
sperm
Seem ¥3,980 (Click here for details of Seem/Recruit)
Self-check sperm easily with a smartphone! First, collect semen in a collection cup and leave it for about 15 to 30 minutes. When the semen turns smooth, the cup is turned to agitate the semen, and the collection stick is used to deposit the semen on the microscope lens. After setting the lens on the front camera of the smartphone, the rest is to launch the application and shoot. It measures the concentration and motility of sperm, so you can check the condition of your sperm while comparing it with the reference value, and use it to improve your lifestyle.
Blood sugar level / Ketone level / Oxygen saturation
Blood sugar level* (above): Free Style Libre Sensor ¥7,480 (FreeStyle Libre/Abbott Japan TEL: 0120-37-8055) Ketone level (middle): Ketonix Basic ¥36,300 (Ketonics/Whole Food Lifestyle details here) Oxygen saturation (bottom): Ring O2 ¥19,800 (Click here for details on Ring O2/Neuroceuticals) *Actually, glucose concentration in interstitial fluid is measured and converted to blood sugar level.
Simple operation that does not require time and effort. Quantitatively grasp the internal environment The blood glucose measurement sensor "FreeStyle Libre" fixes the extra-fine filament on the adhesive surface on the back to the arm. Constant monitoring of blood glucose becomes possible. "Ketonics Basic", which can measure ketone levels just by blowing on your breath, is a partner for carbohydrate restriction. Ketone bodies are substances that the body makes when it burns fat. A high ketone value = a body that burns fat easily, and it also helps to confirm the improvement of the constitution. "Ring O2" is an oximeter that measures SpO2 (arterial blood oxygen saturation). A ring-shaped sensor worn on the finger vibrates to notify the lack of oxygen when the numerical value reaches a certain value. It can be used not only for training but also for checking sleep apnea syndrome.
