Vigilant, it's a long story

Vigilant has not been out of the blue, it’s been here for a while. In fact, it all starts with … a sailboat. The Vigilant to be precise. If you were not there in 1893, know that it is quite simply the name of the America's Cup winner. An inspiration for a certain Achille Hirsch, who decides to create a new Swiss watch brand in La Chaux-com-Fonds. A brand that would stand out for its premium quality and whose first pocket watch would be intended for sailors. The name of this watch: Vigilant. It was not until 1896 that this name extended to the newly created brand.

Unsurprisingly, the family business, located in the heart of the future Valley of Swiss watchmaking, has proven to be successful. She thrives so well that it doesn't take long hire hundreds of watchmaking workers for sell its products by millions worldwide. A real Golden Age that will end in 1929 in New York, due to the crisis we are experiencing. The firm continues its activities as it can in the face of difficult Japanese competition.

To stand out, Vigilant decided to innovate. In 2002, she will deviate from the path of simple Swiss watchmaking to produce a wrist watch with a Geiger counter (radiation detector). It will earn him the innovation awards in the United States, and this is the start of Vigilant as we know it today. Proud of its heritage in quality products, it continues its production of precision instruments by designing high-tech and smart health connected objects, as well as smart mobile apps. Let’s dwell on a few Vigilant smart health connected objects.

Rainbow, the smart health connected toothbrush for children

Electric toothbrushes, we are getting to know. smart health connected toothbrushes, a little less. But the Smart Bluetooth toothbrushes with real added value, you had to wait for the Rainbow. Rainbow combines playful techniques and high technology to teach and perfect the brushing in children. Because this is the particularity of this product: it is intended for toddlers. A decision no more stupid than surprising since if you have already been a child (normally this is the case) you know how reluctant the little ones to go to the toothpaste stage. In addition, the control of oral hygiene becomes important as soon as baby teeth appear. Professionals go as far as ensuring thatgood prevention of carries during this age is essential for white and healthy teeth as an adult. And when we know that today, only one out of two French adolescents brushes their teeth twice a day (IPSOS – 2013), we understand the importance of teaching our children well. Rainbow promises to be much less than a simple gadget since, according to these figures, even parents cannot brush their teeth properly.

Concretely then, how does it work? To exercise his work, the Rainbow is equipped with motion sensors which will synchronize, automatically and in Bluetooth, the brushing gestures to the mobile to which it is smart health connected. Everything goes there: precise movements, duration, frequency of brushing sessions,… At the same time, compares them to "perfect moves" registered on his mobile app. If they are perfect, it is because they result from recommendations from several oral hygiene experts. This allows Rainbow to judge the child's brushing quality and areas for improvement. In the long term, it can also record his performances to present an evolution of his oral hygiene, in order to verify for yourself the effectiveness of the advice. All of this fits into a simple dashboard that you can share, with a wave of your finger, to the rest of your family or friends.

In other words, Rainbow reinvents brushing through two innovations :

• For children: it turns the boring experience of brushing into a recreational activity. No more long minutes of rubbing your teeth while waiting for time to pass. Make way for the game! Thanks to its goals and rewards distributed, good habits are easy to acquire and keep for a long time.

• For parents: if you want to closely monitoring the oral hygiene of your offspring, you have to spend some time there. Stay close to them while brushing, inspect each area for washing, etc. Let's face it, there are better ways to spend your time. Thanks to its Bluetooth connection and its mobile application, Rainbow offers a much more precise view of users' brush movements. Using simple scoring indicators, parents can monitoring the quality and progress of children's brushing at any time, without necessarily being present every time. A freer and more reliable method.

As for the technical details, know that the Rainbow mobile application is, like all Vigilant smart health connected objects, compatible as well for iOS than for Android. The toothbrush is available in seven different colors, and different sizes of brushes are delivered to suit different body shapes. Finally, and that’s Rainbow’s best argument, this smart toothbrush won't cost you no more than € 29.99. A most enviable price when you know that the average price of smart health connected toothbrushes is around € 100…

Leaf, the smart air purifier

Leaf is the name of the first smart air purifier that measures and removes indoor air pollution. A global revolution for Vigilant smart health connected objects, which put health first. It is also a way of surfing the recent announcement of the CIRC (International Center for Research on Cancer), for whom the outdoor air pollution is carcinogenic to humans. In these circumstances, Vigilant's air purifier provides measurement and control of the pollution levels to which its users are exposed daily, whether at health home or at work.

For a portable purifier, the Leaf does not forget to equip itself with high-tech filters, most effective against the majority of pollutants, dust, fine particles, allergens or any other toxic gas. The goal is to be able to monitoring and regulate, via the dedicated mobile application, the composition of the air in our living or working place. No matter where you are, you can keep an eye on the quality of your air and make sure it stays up to international health standards dictated by WHO. And if you just want to breathe without asking yourself this kind of question, then you have Smart mode. True autopilot Smart mode allows you to enter the air quality you want yourself, and Leaf will automatically take care of maintain this level in your environment. You are free to follow the international standards recommended by the application or to define your own pollution limits.

Note that Leaf exists in two different sizes, depending on the volume of the room to which you dedicate it. The small model is intended for 50m² rooms and is only 50cm high, then from the top of its 80cm, the big one can manage the air of an 80m² room. It also allows the device to blend more into its environment, since it was the origin of its design and elegance: to adapt harmoniously to all interior styles. In addition, each model is compatible with Android and iOS.

Finally, in order to adapt to most purses, the different models exist in more materials. The bamboo pattern remains the most expensive, with no less than € 549 for the 50m² model and € 749 for the 80m². More accessible, all plastic models (with several color ranges, but still the same design) drop to € 359 for the small model and € 529 for the large. Air purifiers have never been free, and you usually have to search around € 300-400 to get good quality. However, we must admit that no purifier provided such direct monitoring on a smartphone and that Leaf is equipped with high-tech filters. In short, this is mainly a luxury product for lovers of high quality. It's up to you to see if the price is worth the effort.

Bee, the first device to monitoring blood sugar and insulin injections

Diabetes is not a minor problem. In France, there are no less than four million suffering from this incurable disease. Worse, in many countries, diabetes has been increasing rapidly in recent years, so it is estimated that within ten years, one in ten French people may suffer from it. To prevent or delay complications related to the disease (bacterial skin infections, eye disorders), adequate treatment and an appropriate lifestyle are essential. And since diabetes still cannot be cured, we can at least make life easier for those who suffer from it.

Here too, Vigilant smart health connected objects find their place thanks to Bee. Bee is the first smart device for monitoring blood sugar and injections for diabetics. Okay, that sounds a bit technical, so let's dwell on the details. In fact, Bee is primarily a small device that you can combine with your insulin pen or use alone, in pocket version. To note that most models on the market are compatible (like FlexPen and NovoPen 4 from Novo Nordisk, KwikPen from Lilly and SoloStar from Sanofi Aventis). This device is smart health connected, via Bluetooth, to a mobile application dedicated. Compatible with Android and iOS, this app record blood sugar and insulin units injected by your smart health connected pen. At the same time, it can also keep a log book precise and reliable. Automatically kept up to date, it will become much easier for patients to self-monitoring and avoid forgetting or doubling their injections (thus eliminating the risks of hypoglycemia and hypoglycemia). Likewise, it will be easier to share their precise injection and blood sugar data with loved ones or the doctors concerned.

But beyond the recording of data, there is their follow-up. And more than in monitoring diabetics by themselves, it is in remote monitoring that Bee innovates. How many mothers are not worried about the blood sugar levels of their sick children? Who wouldn't want to monitoring insulin injections for older diabetics? As the data of the mobile application can be shared directly with several contacts, Bee becomes the ideal management tool for those wishing to monitoring data from a loved one. All this for the sum of € 69. It’s in the price range of a quality pen pack, but Bee has the advantage of being a one-time purchase with real added value, especially for remote monitoring.

LilyPad, a float to monitoring your pool

During this summer vacation, there is one thing that each of us aspires to: diving into our swimming pool. But it wouldn't be about taking risks with your health. UV rays, in particular, are one of the main dangers for reckless tanners. The cause ? Melanoma, one of the most common skin cancers among 15-29 year-olds, according to the United States Environmental Protection Agency. The World Health Organization goes so far as to ensure that 90% of deaths from skin cancer are linked to UV radiation. Not really what we are looking for while wading in our swimming pool.

Therefore, it is a question of taking precautions which will not spoil our pleasure. For this, Vigilant offers a intelligent float that analyzes the environment of your pool: LilyPad. smart health connected by Wi-Fi to his mobile application (free and compatible with iPhone and Android), it is designed to study the water temperature and theUV index you're exposed to. All this information is transmitted in real time to the user's smartphone, accompanied by custom protection tips against sun nuisance.

So, much more than a simple measuring instrument, LilyPad seeks above all to become the ideal companion for moments of relaxation. Equipped with the precision specific to Vigilant smart health connected objects, its integrated radiation sensors not only inform you about the intensity of UV at the surface of the water, but, combined with data from user profiles, they indicate to users the best moments to take a dip or which sunscreen to choose according to skin types.

This new kind of float is accessible for the sum of 99 €. Difficult to make a really relevant price comparison given that LilyPad is the only smart summer float on the market at the moment. Nevertheless, we can assume that it will be an ideal purchase for people sensitive to UV rays, lovers of their swimming pool or collectors of Vigilant.
