OUR MISSION

 

OUR EQL BAND MISSION IS TO SILENCE THE BIAS IN GREEN LIGHT TECHNOLOGY USED IN SMARTWATCHES WITH THE POWER OF SOUND.

WE INVITE EVERYONE TO JOIN US IN CREATING EQUAL HEALTH DATA FOR ALL.

Discover our innovative sound smart technology
Electret microphone technology is a well-studied tool in arterial pulse measurement
Listens to heartbeat. A 1-2 hertz frequency undetectable to the human ear
Cardio stethoscope isolates and amplifies the heart's low-frequency sound waves
EQL Band components. Soundproof foam band. Cardio stethescope diaphram. Ultrasonic electret microphone. Microcontroller battery. Cardio stethoscope bell
EQL BAND is a sound smart technology encased in a strap and is adaptable to any smartwatch
Studies have shown that smartwatches don't accurately read the heart rate for people with darker skin tones. Skin with more melanin blocks the green light, making it harder to get an accurate reading. The darker your skin, the less accurate your results.
Equal health data matters
70 million Americans rely on smartwatches to track their health, including their heart rate
50% of all clinical trials will depend on wearables by 2025. Data collected from these trials is used to fuel new science and innovation.
Inequality in health data leads to people of color being left behind
Missed heart health risks. People of color excluded from the health data algorithm. The same algorithm used to innovate life-saving treatments and diagnoses
Let's silence the bias with sound
The time for equal health data is now
Let's band together to create equal health data
