CES: Wearables steal the show

While the front of an Apple Watch is cool, wouldn’t it be even better to use the rest of the area that wraps around one’s wrist? That’s where the Aura Strap comes in.
Healthcare innovation company Aura has unveiled a new tracking device for the Apple Watch that monitors fat, muscles, and hydration levels, and assists in activity tracking. A standalone version was showcased at CES this week.
Aura says the Aura Strap is the only way to measure one’s body composition and hydration level on an Apple Watch. The sensor uses bioimpedance technology found in other devices like the Fitbit Aria scale, to allow users to track additional health parameters (fat, muscle, and hydration levels).
The straps will become available in the US from 1 April.
