In today's premium podcast episode, I interview Pierre-Jean, the co-founder of Echo Labs. Echo Labs has developed a wearable sensor that can measure what's in your blood using spectrometry (which means that this wearable can measure actual molecules in your bloodstream), along with heart rate, blood pressure, hydration, heart rate variability, sleep and more.
You'll find out: -New technology that allows you to get an accurate heart rate and heart rate variability score without using a chest strap... -How the molecules in your blood can tell you whether you are burning fats vs. carbohydrates... -How a wearable can detect your level of hydration... -Which markers are most important to detect if you want to measure your rest and recovery... -How an accurate heart rate variability could potentially be calculated without a heart rate monitor... -How a wearable can measure aerobic performance... -And much more!

1:01.2 | I know the entire section of the consumer electronic show was devoted just to the huge number |
1:06.9 | of emerging wearables that are out there in the market. |
1:09.4 | And I thought it would be interesting today to delve into one of the latest wearables made |
1:15.0 | by a company called Echo Labs, just to kind of learn a little bit more about how these |
1:19.8 | things are made, their accuracy, and also some of the unique elements that this Echo Labs |
1:25.4 | wearable in particular measures. |

1:37.7 | So my first question for you is, are you measuring anything right now at this moment |
1:43.3 | while we're talking? |
1:44.3 | Are you a self-quantification guy? |
1:46.4 | I'm actually not right now at this minute. |
