2023: Plan to launch mass production of Yopi wearables
Israel-based Yopi Technologies, a developer of medical wearables, has announced plans to set up its first factory in southern Israel near the Gaza Strip. At this plant, the company intends to organize mass production of its development - a wearable device based on artificial intelligence Yopi (Your Online Personal Instructor), designed to analyze human sweat in order to track the state of the heart and well-being. Information about this appeared on July 13, 2023.
Yopi Technologies plans to hire about 70 employees, including engineers and technicians, to work at the production facility. In general, the creation of the enterprise became possible after the company attracted 5 million shekels in the form of grants from the Israel Innovation Authority, as well as $1.75 million from private investors. Mass production of the Yopi wearable device at the plant is expected to begin in early 2024.[1]
The company's development uses biosensors and AI algorithms to monitor oxygen consumption (VO₂) in real time through the analysis of electrolytes in a person's sweat during training.
The VO₂ indicator allows you to determine how much oxygen the body absorbs and uses during training, and is used by cardiologists to track the work of the heart and determine the level of cardiorespiratory training. But until now, the measurement of oxygen consumption was carried out in specialized laboratories using a mask to control breathing.
Yopi (Your Online Personal Instructor) is worn on your wrist and connects to an app installed on your smartphone. According to the developers, the device allows you to "detect early signs of deterioration of cardiac function online, potentially alerting medical professionals and saving lives." It was originally designed for people involved in aerobic sports to monitor the intensity of training in real time and make adjustments if necessary.
At the next stage, Yopi plans to adapt its development for wide application.[2]
