DEVICES


OF 2019


STRACK DIPITR :
Breaking from the clutter of fitness bands
and smartwatches, this is one wellness
device that focuses on having a correct
posture. A small device that is attached
to the back, it gives vibration alerts every
time you slouch. It is a quick and good
reminder to sit straight. Other than giving
reminders to sit straight, it also has a
coach mode that, using small sessions,
helps in improving the sitting posture. All
the data – straight minutes, number of
slouches and more is accessible within the
app. The data is categorised on an hourly
basis as well as an overview of the week.
Measuring 47x31x9mm, the Strack houses
an LED indicator along with a multi-purpose button at the front.
One can wear it using supplied magnets (on the shirt) or adhesive
tapes (pasted on the back).

DYSON HOT+COOL AIR PURIFER:
Using an air purifier during winters is a must,
but at the same time, the clean air it pushes
out makes it a challenge to use one. Dyson
innovative solution addresses this concern
with style. This premium Pure Hot + Cool air
purifier manages to warm the room with clean
air when cold. Easy to use, the accompanying
remote has dedicated buttons with red dots
for heating, which can be used to reach the
desired temperature (maximum 37 degrees).
Once you set the temperature on the purifier,
it starts throwing warm air (purified) to
reach the desired temperature. It works
flawlessly. Once the desired temperature is
reached, the machine automatically stops
and resumes operations once it senses a
drop in temperature. For this, Dyson uses PTC
(positive temperature coefficient), which is
commonly used in aircraft heating systems,
and the heating element is encased within the
heat resistant material.
