Firmware 2121: Introducing Nerve Health Score
We are now able to unlock a powerful new metric using a similar technology as the already-established Electrodermal Activity Score (EDA). This new medically-validated metric is called Nerve Health Score (NHS) and can provide a deeper analysis into detecting possible health issues linked to nerve activity in your feet.
Please note that if you are in Europe you will no longer have access to the EDA metric; however, our users outside of the EU will still benefit from it.
