The Bellabeat Leaf Urban Edition is designed to be stylish bio-tracker that helps women keep track of their health and manage stress. The Leaf can be worn as a bracelet, a necklace, or a clip to be suitable for a woman to wear for any occasion or to fit her style.
The Leaf tracks many aspects of a woman's overall wellness. As a fitness tracker, it tracks the user's steps, distance covered and calories burned. Worn at night, it is a sleep tracker and it also serves as a fertility tracker that works by detecting when users are menstruating. The mindfulness features allows users to follow meditations on the app while the Leaf tracks the user's breathing to see how they're doing.
However, it is the stress tracking technology that makes this device so unique. The Leaf uses the information of sleep, activity and the user's menstrual cycle to predict stress levels. The Leaf will then suggest different ways to de-stress such as a walking or meditation sessions.
