News Comment #13

Amazon’s Halo Rise falsely advertises its efficiency in collecting sleep-tracking data.

Halo Rise is supposed to track your activity while sleeping and determine if you got good or bad sleep. It uses motion sensors to collect this information. Once you wake up it shows you a chart with the sleep stages and tells you if you got sufficient rest or not.

The author used the product themselves and critiqued its ability to accurately measure the data. They used the products themselves and didn’t feel like the information gathered was accurate or reliable.

They even asked Amazon if it was really reliable. Amazon said that they believed it was accurate but they needed to do more test to make sure.

This is news because this is a product that someone may want to buy and it is good to get a review on the product. I was also not aware that Amazon had released Halo Rise, so I learned something new.

    A good example of a service feature. Testing a product so potential buyers don’t have to.
