NOWATCH Insights: Revolutionizing Health Tracking with AI
The AI-driven NOWATCH Insights feature stands out as a unique offering in the wearable tech market. It combines various data streams into coherent narratives, providing users with personalized daily recaps and tailored recommendations. This AI companion offers versatility in its narrative tone and length, catering to individual preferences for creativity, analysis, care, or directness.
Timothée Manschot, NOWATCH CEO and co-founder, emphasizes the company’s approach to AI as thoughtful and science-based, ensuring the insights are both meaningful and personal.
Tackling the Stress Epidemic with Advanced Technology
Stress, identified by the World Health Organization as the leading health challenge of the 21st century, has significant economic and personal impacts. NOWATCH addresses this through its ‘awareable’ technology, designed to help users remain mindful of their body’s responses without adding to digital distractions or anxiety.
Unlike typical health trackers that can inadvertently increase stress, NOWATCH offers a simple yet powerful solution for stress management and wellness monitoring.
