GoBe U: What Is Bioimpedance and How Does It Work?

Bioimpedance is a method of measuring the electrical properties of body tissues using a low-level electrical signal. It is commonly used in health and fitness technologies to assess physiological changes in the body.

GoBe U uses bioimpedance as part of HEALBE's patented FLOW™ Technology to automatically estimate the calories your body absorbs from food, without requiring you to manually log your meals.

How Does Bioimpedance Work in GoBe U?

When you eat, your body breaks down food and absorbs nutrients. These processes are accompanied by changes in fluid distribution and the electrical properties of body tissues.

GoBe U uses its bioimpedance sensor to detect these changes. HEALBE's FLOW™ Technology analyzes the resulting signals to estimate calorie absorption.

Unlike traditional calorie-tracking apps that rely on manually entered food information, GoBe U uses physiological measurements to estimate your calorie intake automatically.

Why Don't Calories Appear Immediately After Eating?

GoBe U estimates calories as your body processes and absorbs nutrients, rather than at the moment you eat.

Digestion and nutrient absorption take time, so calories may appear in the HEALBE app several hours after a meal.

The timing can vary depending on factors such as:

• The type and composition of the food.

• The amount of food consumed.

• Your individual digestion and absorption processes.

For example, simple carbohydrates are generally absorbed more quickly than meals containing larger amounts of fat, protein, or fiber.

This means that calorie intake displayed in the app may not immediately reflect your most recent meal.

Can GoBe U Detect Energy Used from Body Reserves?

In addition to estimating calories absorbed from food, HEALBE's technology is designed to account for energy released from the body's internal reserves.

This can be particularly relevant during periods of fasting, reduced food intake, or increased physical activity.

These estimates help provide a broader picture of your body's energy balance throughout the day.

What Are the Benefits of Bioimpedance Tracking?

By combining bioimpedance measurements with HEALBE's algorithms, GoBe U helps you:

• Estimate calorie intake automatically without manually logging food.

• Monitor changes in calorie absorption throughout the day.

• Better understand how eating patterns and daily activities relate to your energy balance.

Thanks to HEALBE FLOW™ Technology, GoBe U tracks calorie absorption based on real physiological processes in your body, without requiring you to manually log your food intake. This helps you gain a more complete understanding of your energy intake and manage your energy balance in everyday life.
