I loved the concept for this product, but it remains to be seen if the v2 actually works. from what I've seen of reviews, the v1 never actually worked. average 2.7/5 stars on amazon, and many of the reviews saying that the 5* reviews are fake: http://amazon.com/Healbe-Corp-Ca... https://nonprofitquarterly.org/2...

@_jacksmith Jack, Thanks for your comment. We admit that our first-generation device had several technical and design issues. We took our customers’ feedback into account to improve the device’s interface and performance by adding more sensors and designing a comprehensive approach to data measurement. It is a significantly advanced device compared to the fi… See more

@sova13 "We would appreciate your support!" - how can I be supportive? I haven't tried the product, but love the concept. I am very into quantified self and being able to track calorie intake is the holy grail, so I wish you the best of luck with the reception for v2

@_jacksmith If you give GoBe 2 a chance and try it - it would be the best support! =) thank you

@sova13 how can I "try it" if it's not shipping yet and you're currently just taking pre-orders? I only have your word to go on than the v2 works. the only way that I'd envisage being able to try it is to order it once it's shipping, provided there's a return policy that I can return it if it doesn't work properly

@_jacksmith Sure thing! You are right there is no other way to prove it works but to test it. The first product hunters who order the GoBe 2 will receive it within one month. In addition, we are also providing all our customers a 30 days money back guarantee and 1-year limited warranty on all new GoBe 2 devices.

@sova13 @_jacksmith So are there actually any scientifically proven results and research that such technology can track calories and water intake automatically?

@ekaterinaklink Hi, Ekaterina. We have worked with independent testing facilities in both the U.S. and Russia where researchers found that GoBe accurately measures calorie intake, nutritional intake, and calories burned with an accuracy rate of 84-93%. And I want to mention that we have PCT patents proving Method for determining food caloric energy intake by… See more

@sova13 An accuracy rate of 84-93% sounds good, can I read more about that research somewhere?

@_jacksmith I agree, how does it know how many calories I've eaten? Seems too good to be true.

@tim_vermeulen @mrabramowitz @_jacksmith This is a link that includes infographics to explain the base algorithm and patents associated with our technology: https://goo.gl/sZjgAV We are also in discussions with experts and researchers to conduct third-party independent tests to validate the accuracy of the Healbe GoBe 2 and our technology.

@sova13 That's a link to a blog post about the first generation GoBe, which turned out to not be very accurate at all...

@tim_vermeulen @sova13 Tim, you see the base algorithm and patents associated with it can be addressed to both devices. So this validation studies and error % can be applied to our new device. In GoBe2 we've improved not the algorithm itself but the approach for calculating calories intake. First of all you don't have to push the button in order to identify … See more
