It's very important to recognize cold sweats when providing first aid. Cold sweats can be a sign
of significant injury or illness
2.2 It detects cold sweat by measuring and displaying the temperature and humidity levels of the
skin, whereupon upon the onset of cold sweat, a triggering call/sms or alarm will be made by the
smartphone in which the Hypoband is paired too.
2.3 It comes with a panic button hence may be used for the old, sick and aged in case of an
emergency, be it a fall, burglary, fire, etc, that needs response and aid to be given to them.
“Hypoband detects the skin’s Temperature in degree Celsius and Sweat Levels in Humidity % of the
person wearing it. If it is not worn, then it will be measuring the surroundings or environment”.
2.4 The Hypoband App needs to be pre-installed to the smartphone (Android) prior to using the
Hypoband.
The App has to be launched after the Hypoband is on and paired the smartphone. See 1.2 to 1.11
