I used a cnc machine to create a physical model of
bluecircle. The final form of bluecircle was devel-
oped to curve evenly on the user’s wrist.
The bottom side of the wristband counterbalances
with the top side. This prevents the wristband from
sliding around the user’s wrist.

> A data driven health revolution promises to make us all better, faster, and stronger.
