ThingX, a pioneer health-tech innovator focusing on understanding the Emotion Economy, launched the NUNA Smart Pendant. The first wearable technology to turn the real-time data of human biometrics and the environment into actionable emotional metrics. Limited pre-order in the United States, NUNA brings a breakthrough in the field of emotional intelligence technologies. The decade and a half of development of which began with the research of multimodal sensing more than 20 years ago. Compared to traditional trackers, which are known by number of steps, calories, or workouts, NUNA is connected to an individual who wants to manage their emotions, develop more mindfulness, and improve their general mental health.
The NUNA appears like a very well-designed piece of jewelry in the genital area. Under its fancy skin is a pioneering multimodal AI platform that combines millimeter-wave radar, voice, and physiological sensing to detect the body language changes otherwise imperceptible to the naked eye. Rather than monitoring physical values of healthcare, the pendant will provide a visible picture of the less evident emotional intelligence.
Unlike most wearables, which offload much of their processing and computation to the cloud. NUNA is privacy-by-design, which does not store raw audio or otherwise process outside the confines of the hardware, and the device does not require the use of any wake words or active access to the internet. The processing of the insights is done locally on the pendant, and therefore, highly personal biometric data never leaves the user's confidential environment.
This strategy is indicative of a larger change in consumer expectations when it comes to health technology as the issues of trust, discretion, and safety are as important a factor as the performance offered by a particular piece of health technology. Furthermore, with 20 years of research and technological expertise under its belt, ThingX promises to connect humanity with the digital intelligence in a bid to empower users to contemplate, mature, and succeed in life.
Ernest X., Founder of ThingX and Creator of NUNA:
“This is more than a product launch. It marks the start of a movement for emotional wellbeing, powered by on-device embedded AI, multimodal sensing, and millimeter-wave radar — delivering real-time emotional intelligence while keeping your data fully private."
