The system uses artificial intelligence to analyze heart rate, blood pressure, sleep patterns, and physical activity. It detects irregularities and alerts users to potential health risks. Data is processed locally on devices to ensure privacy. Sony claims the AI improves accuracy over time by learning individual health patterns.
The technology integrates with existing Sony wearables, including smartwatches and fitness bands. A mobile app displays trends and offers simple health recommendations. Users can share reports with doctors via secure platforms. Sony emphasized the tool is not a replacement for medical professionals but acts as a preventive aid.
Trials in Japan showed the AI identified early signs of conditions like hypertension and irregular heartbeat. Over 85% of participants found the system easy to use daily. Sony plans partnerships with healthcare providers to expand the tool’s applications.
Pricing details remain undisclosed, but the service will launch as a subscription model. Availability starts in the U.S., Europe, and Asia in the first quarter of 2024. The company aims to add more features, including stress-level monitoring and hydration tracking, by late 2024.
Sony’s CEO stated the project reflects their focus on merging technology with everyday wellness. Engineers highlighted strict data protection measures, with no personal information stored on external servers. The move aligns with growing demand for home-based health solutions post-pandemic.
