About the launch, the company said in a statement "The new Gooqi Vital band is designed to help monitor key vital stats like Blood Pressure and Heart Rate. It can report both Systolic and Diastolic pressure with a good degree of accuracy. However, it is not a medical device and not a replacement to a Sphygmomanometer (an instrument for measuring blood pressure). Patients with hypertension should consult their doctor before us.”
Vishal Gondal, Founder and CEO of Goqii also remarked "With Goqii Vital we have become the first company of its kind, to integrate a blood pressure monitor & heart rate in an activity tracker with the ability to seamlessly share the data with doctors, health experts. Data along with the right advice will help encourage people to pursue holistic healthcare regime and focus on a preventive health mindset.”
Like mentioned above, the highlighting feature of this device will be the Goqii Play feature using which users will be able to stream live videos on their mobile phone on the Goqii Play app. The live videos will include streams from experts, doctors, fitness trainers, emotional health counsellors and health influencers.
