Internet of Things - LG Says New Technologies Will Make Life Easier(AllAfrica Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) LG Electronics has said its new range of technologies will make life easier for Nigerians. The company, in a statement, said the technologies were created to meet needs of people and were designed to alter the environment in some way in order to achieve greater well-being. " In the era of the internet of things, increased connectivity has allowed us to re-imagine life- improving products as never before, showcasing some of the key products which are leading the way in combining smart technology and health", the statement said. The company said it has launched range of new products like LG's Life-band Touch which features an OLED touch-screen, tracks key workout stats and links up with popular fitness apps like MapMyRun and Runkeeper. "The wearable also allows users to control their phone's music player, while altering the wearer to any incoming calls." The statement also said: "Complementing this, LG's Heart Rate Monitor (HRM) earphones, also announced earlier this year are in-ear fitness buds that are able to track the wearer's metabolic rate and maximum oxygen consumption and relay it back to an Android or iOS Smartphone app via Bluetooth allowing users to physically hear how fast their heart is beating. "Both devices can be used separately or together. Much of this move towards more sophisticated forms of healthcare technology is rooted in the maturing buzz around wearable technology so prominent at CES and MWC. "Allergic reactions to prevalent airborne dust and pollen particles can make life a misery for many people who experience symptoms such as sneezing and itchy eyes during the peak allergy season. To help combat this, products such as LG's SteamWasher and Dryer Combo with Allergiene cycle have evolved to use optimized washer and steam technology to breakdown and wash out allergens - without harming fabrics".
