ASUS VivoWatch 5 AERO: Introducing new health metrics
This exciting fitness band offers a new way to measure Pulse Transit Time (PTT). It can help identify changes in your body’s inspiratory effort, and PTT is an important measurement system for detecting upper airway obstruction and increased respiratory effort during sleep. For example, it can be useful to people who suffer or suspect they’re suffering from obstructive sleep apnea. ASUS VivoWatch 5 AERO has built-in micro-electrical (for ECG) and optical (for PPG) sensors on its display to calculate this metric.
ASUS VivoWatch 5 AERO Alongside this innovation, the smart wristband also features other useful types of tracking: heart rate monitoring, blood oxygen level, ECG, sleep tracking, exercise tracking, and more. I will receive it in testing soon, and I’m looking forward to writing an extensive review about it.
