Need some expert advice about this new tech

Talking about WIM specifically https://www.wirobotics.com/pages/wim.php

100% we have problems with simpler gadgets I cannot imagine the UX and security issues something like this could have. Not pointing fingers to this company specifically but there are a lot of gadgets being offered that have a lot of issue.

For example, a few years ago I bought the Muse headset, you need to buy a subscription to receive the raw information about the sensors! (there is a third-party paid app for this). Not only that, it is not clear what it measures. I have experimented with few things beyond the standard use. For example, I tried to use the band while I was performing a relaxing physical activity and the app said that I was less relaxed that at work ;-)

I think until the product is in consumers hands then we will know how good it is. At the moment it will be only available in korea for around $2000. I'm not really concerned about software surrounding it rather how well the hardware actually works. Is it safe and is it scientifically proven to provide rehabilitation.

If these are true, this product will become very important step in true wearable tech advancement.

So far there's only few videos all in korean and some people using it at CES2024. But all their experiences are positive
