Oku analyzes your skin daily to improve its appearance

Oku, this is a small square of smart health connected plastic that would like to put your dermatologist out of work. Presented at CES 2015, Oku scans your skin and establishes a diagnosis of your epidermis. An overview of the Oku Square’s grand promises.

Oku tells you everything about your skin

Even what you didn't want to know. Easy to use a priori, just pass Oku on your face, morning and evening as recommended by the designers, and view the data collected on the dedicated application. The magic square thus establishes your “SkinScore”. And to this end, it tracks everything: the pigmentation of your skin (in case you suddenly find out that you are actually green or blue!), its texture, the presence or absence of wrinkles (no more beautiful illusions) and if you have oily, dry or combination skin.

The goal ?

If you use the Oku cube twice a day, the application cross-checks the daily data to give you the procedure to follow to improve the appearance of your skin. A skin coaching, in short. If you miss a day, don't worry, you can pick up where you left off, the app keeps your data in stock. Oku comes with a travel pouch to make it a portable item and encourage you to take it with you when traveling. The object lands on a dock station in all rooms of the house.

A fuzzy scientific approach

The start-up at the origin of Oku does not skimp on the scientific character of its object. On their site, Getoku.com, they don't hesitate to say that the Oku cube technology is the result of “100 years of research on different skin types around the world ”. For a primary object of its generation, hard to take their word for it. Another "hitch", the survey technique is not detailed, the designers talk about "invisible lights". And according to an interview with a journalist from the American site TheVerge.com, it is impossible to know more. Even by questioning the co-founder of the product, Sava Marinkovich.

A smart health smart health connected object that causes stress?

If you weren't exactly happy with the quality of your skin, or the type you compared to others, Oku is not there to reassure you. He will ask you a series of questions about your lifestyle, diet and cosmetic habits. No trace of the planned partnerships, but the co-founder wishes to invest in the skin aging market and associated cosmetics. For the moment, it is fairly easy to imagine, without additional information, that the Oku cube is above all a guide to consumption. We hope that his founders will move to the scientific reel before putting subject on the market.

We don't like too much

The content of the smart health connected cube site and its large virtuous phrases of type: “Like everyone, you want to have the most beautiful skin possible“,“we want to make the world a more beautiful place”And other statements that may cause concern among the most vulnerable. Artistic vagueness in scientific and medical terms. The little data available at the moment.

To be tested on its release, therefore.

Oku, the face scanner is scheduled for a released in spring 2015. The application of the product will be compatible iOS Firstly. The price for one preorder is $ 249 (approx 210 euros), it will then be sold at $ 299 (around 254 euros). Learn more about the product: click here.
