Wristo

About Wristo

Wristo is a website created to promote and popularise a new device called Wristo. The website is working in a responsive and adaptive format and is prepared for future service.

Wristo is a smart wristband, an ecosystem which enables 24/7 connectivity between senior citizens and their caregivers. This ecosystem (which we call Wristo™) consists of a wearable bracelet worn by an older person and a portal and mobile application used by their caregivers to manage the bracelet remotely. Caregivers can get readings about the wearer’s well-being data and location, set reminders such as medication and appointments, store and analyse data. The system has a few unique features not available from other products in this segment:

• The bracelet has its own SIM card and therefore is fully autonomous. It does not require a paired smartphone.
• Its open architecture allows adding additional peripheral devices and sensors, eventually creating an indeed “internet of things” based product. Examples are ECG sensors, remote indoor temperature monitors and many others.
• Caregivers can manage all the settings and functions remotely, making it very friendly for senior users.
• The system is suitable for private use (e.g. senior citizen and their relative who take care of them) and institutional caregivers such as home care agencies.
• The architecture allows storing all the data in the cloud and analysing them to create valuable information for caregivers, medical professionals etc.

The website will help you understand how this new device works, the advantages and functionality of Wristo. On the page, you can find more information about Wristo creators. The main functionality allows you to order the Wristo models using a simple pre-order form. You can contact creators by sending your questions or suggestions using the contact form or find more information in the FAQ section.

Developer’s insight

“While developing the page, we used the HTML5 approach. HTML5 Form Validation functionality is secure and simple to use and you do not have to add your scripts as everything is ready for you. HTML5 video tag supports all modern browsers, including Internet Explorer 11 and allows you to apply your own video players. We implemented CSS3 features to create a navigation panel, which improved page performance. Also, we applied the jQuery library to create a dynamic page, and Ajax requests for integration of client and server-sides”.

Vitaliy Andrushko, Front-end developer

“We didn’t use any JavaScript frameworks on the client’s side. That’s why we decided to implement a standard RoR approach. The page templates were created and processed on server-side using RoR operators. I recommend this approach for teams with strong Ruby on Rails expertise”.
