14 DAY TRIAL // Although many devices encourage fitness and sport activities, few devices actually offer indisputable, empirical evidence of improving wellness. In this regard the University at Buffalo NY. revealed their progress on a pair of LEDs that use light to treat insomnia.
This way the university wants to bring issues like health that can be cured by wearable gadgets, helping Americans overcome health issues rather than drowning them in tweets, emojis vibrations and step counting.
For instance studies show that 48% of American suffer from insomnia, making it one of the most widespread health problems in the Western world. Although there are already many smartwatches, apps and other gadgets that will track your sleep, they are useless in actually helping you sleep, but rather make things worse.
In this case, the green LED glasses will try to succeed where medication would seem the last resort. The practice of selective lighting to reset one's biological clock caused by changing the time zones and frequent flying abroad, has been used for several decades, but the success of this work has been held back by lack of tech and wearability. In the past people that had to escape insomnia had to be exposed to light that mimicked the bright sunlight wavelengths and had it shot straight into their neurotransmitters to have their biological clock reset.
Old tech becomes wearable
The LED glasses keep the same principles but makes the wearable, placing two LEDs at the bottom of glasses similar to the Google glasses they will shoot green ultraviolet-free light into the wearer's eyes and help them stay awake. The glass wearers have to wear them at least one hour during the morning until the brain shuts off the production of melatonin and increase cortisol levels. This way insomniacs can stay awake during the day and sleep at night.
This way the American university managed to manufacture these green LED glasses as the RETIMER glasses, that although they look like some weird futuristic gadget from the '50s, they can actually cure insomnia and keep track of your pulse and sleeping hours just like any wristband and smartwatch out there.
