“An elegant, discreet accessory that effectively supports users in their pursuit of health” – this is what the jury had to say about the Oxa wearable. It was developed to reduce stress and increase general wellbeing. With five functions, including ECG and RIP chips for respiratory induction plethysmography, a skin temperature sensor and proprietary algorithms, the small device allows for accurate and comprehensive health analysis and supports healthy breathing. An interactive app provides live biofeedback and personalised breathing exercises. Oxa is made of eco-friendly materials and positioned on the accompanying shirt for optimal data transmission.
