The Elder Divide show

Summary: <a href="http://www.pivotalliving.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Pivotal Living</a> a health and wellness technology platform. Activity plus sleep tracking band. The $12 membership cycle is one year in length (pre-paid) and will never automatically renew. Your affordable wearable choice for fitness and activity tracking with or without the Android or iOS App. This wearable band is cost effective, easy to use and allows for annual refresh with renewable membership. They believe in building wearable technology at price points that everyone can afford and don’t believe in charging a high upfront cost for their products, and instead hope that members will be members for life. Features: - Easy to use one button controls on band. - Goal setting. - Sleep Mode track the hours you sleep, as well as your movement during sleep to help you understand your sleep quality. - Silent Alarm vibrates to wake or alert you with its “Silent Alarm” feature. - Hydration &amp; Weight tracking. - Inactivity monitoring Reminder. - Mobile Motion Activity monitoring. - Bluetooth syncing with App. - 3-Axis sensor technology. - Water resistant. - OLED screen. - Clock. Stopwatch mode. - 60 minutes charge allows for 5-7 day battery life. Battery indicator on Band and App. - USB Charging cable included. - Android &amp; iOS Apps. Benefits: - Understanding of sleep quality. - Trending for all modes. - Alarms and reminders. - Monitor your hydration and weight. This is a device that I have a review unit. It is boxed in a minimal eco-friendly packaging with band, cable and instructions. I would give this a 4 out of 5 only because it basic and does not contain advanced sensors and features like more expensive bands that track pulse, heartrate, oximetry, bloodsugar or GPS. Also band could be a little longer and as I had it on last hole as my wrists are large and maybe a third wider for comfort. Display seems a bit small for Elders with vision problems. Has good vibration mode. But for the price it will work very nicely for Elders in their daily needs and ease of use. As mentioned is costs only $12 annual membership with renewablity and refresh to newer band if you like. You could pay more for such a band as this, compared to others costing $49-$99 and above. This would be great for yourself, family members or caregivers needing basic health and activity tracking. Looking forward to next model and improvements. This is another product that I saw do a pitch presentation at one of the <a href="http://www.aging2.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Aging2.0</a> #30in30in30 events in Seattle, WA. I will be doing a follow-up interview with Piviol Living on a later podcast.
