Samsung's Developer's Conference on Wednesday saw the introduction of several new products, one of them being the second version of its health tracker called Simband.
Consumers won't be able to get their hands on the new watch since the device is designed as a reference platform for developers, according to The Verge. The tracker's APIs and SDKs are available now for developers to use and make changes.
Simband's six different sensors, used to help you stay in shape, are an accelerometer, electrocardiogram (ECG), photoplethsymogram (PPG), one for bioimpendance (bio-z), one for galvanic skin response and another for skin temperature.
The wearable has the potential to work with Samsung's new bio processor, which is intended to help developers improve the device so it can monitor fitness on a more advanced level, Engadget reported.
This possibility was presented when the South Korean tech giant said at the conference that its new wristband is "capable of integrating the most advanced sensing technologies in the world."
The debut of the second-generation Simband follows six months after the original version was unveiled, CNET reported.
Other products introduced at the conference include Samsung's Flow platform designed to let users move tasks across different devices, the "Project Beyond" camera that will work with the Gear VR headset to produce 360-degree views in 3D and the Innovation Edition of Gear VR, which will be available in December for $199.
In the meantime, consumers will have to wait until developers are done modifying the Simband for the chance to get their own Samsung fitness trackers.
