About the MOTHER Bracelet, Recharge-Free Smart Tracker MOTHER Bracelet is the world’s first 24/7 recharge-free smart tracker, powered by advanced technology that generates electricity from the temperature difference between the body and the surrounding air. As it doesn’t require recharging, it eliminates the data loss that can occur when a device is taken off for recharging. This single device can record five fundamental health metrics: heart rate, surface body temperature, step count, sleep, and calories burned. https://mother-bracelet.com About Remote Health Monitoring System - REMONY “REMONY” remote health monitoring system, developed by MEDIROM MOTHER Labs, combines the wrist-worn recharge-free smart tracker MOTHER Bracelet with a dedicated gateway.
