Gizmore announced the launch of a unified app for all its smartwatches and IoT products. For this app, the company has joined hands with Tres Care. Tres Care is an AI-Based Health Tracking Solution and is on a mission to provide real-time access to health monitoring. 

At the onset, Tres Connect app will be available with Gizmore’s bestselling smartwatches – GizFit Slate and GizFit Ultra and will be available for all Gizmore smartwatches in the next few months. The app is now already available on Apple and Android App Store.

The smartwatch segment in India has been growing at an exponential rate. Gizmore is leading the pack with its top-of-the-line smartwatches that are priced for the masses. With its association with Tres Care, Gizmore aims to elevate the smartwatch experience for users and offer even more comprehensive data relating to their health and fitness. 

Commenting on the partnership, Nishant Goel, Director – Marketing, Gizmore, said, It has now become imperative for consumers to track their health. The new-age apps enable them to get real-time updates and make more informed decisions regarding their fitness. Our strategic partnership with TRES care will help us expand even faster in this segment and provide our users with better insights. We will soon make this app available for all our smartwatches and IoT devices. Along with providing expansive data and proactive health alerts, we have also ensured that this data is completely secure and not shared with any third-party apps”.

Gaurav Chiripal, Founder and CEO of Tres Care, said, “We are happy to collaborate with Gizmore, one of the fastest-growing smartwatch brands in India. Through our proactive health alerts, users can unlock the full potential of their smartwatch and lead a fitter life. Our endeavour is to enrich the users’ lives and switch to a healthy lifestyle”. 

Gizmore smartwatch, through the Tres Connect app, will also integrate DigiLocker enabling users to store all their health records and vaccination certificates in one place. To motivate people to stay committed to their fitness goals, Tres Connect also allows smartwatch users to share their vital health data with their trusted group of friends, colleagues or family members. Sharing milestones, achievements, and other data on popular social platforms is also available. 

Tres Care app is purely Made In India and the biggest USP is that all the consumer data is stored in Indian boundaries. This data is encrypted and segregated while stored on separate servers. Users can even ask the records to be deleted which given them the privacy rights. Separate user groups can be created for example you can monitor the health of entire family with this application. This application has proactive health alerts and you can monitor the changing patterns along through vital activity graphs. Basic hygiene features of sleep monitoring, call alerts and notifications, menstrual cycle tracker and sedentary reminder are also there.

WhatsApp groups are a blessing for all. From buzzing family groups to coordinating with colleagues or planning a birthday party for a friend, WhatsApp groups make everything seamless and secure. On certain days though, we may have to deal with instances like being added to groups that aren’t relevant to us or receiving unverified forwards. Challenging as might be, users can take control of their experience by using various safety features available on WhatsApp to ensure they remain protected while communicating with friends and family.

Here are the top safety features you should start using now:

1. Block and Report: Unlike traditional SMS, WhatsApp provides a simple way for users to block accounts and make reports to WhatsApp if they encounter problematic messages in individual or group chats. We encourage users to report problematic contacts to us. In addition, we now provide the option for people to keep reported messages on their phones if they want to share them with fact-checkers or law enforcement officials.

2. Forward Limits: In addition to limiting highly-forwarded messages to one chat at a time, which has resulted in a 70% reduction in this type of content across WhatsApp, we have also introduced new group forwarding limits where messages that have the “forwarded label” can only be forwarded to one group at a time, rather than five. If you are not sure of the source of a message, don’t forward it.

3. Group Privacy Settings: On Whatsapp, only people with your phone number can add you to a group. WhatsApp’s group privacy settings and group invite system allow users to decide who can add them to groups. Don’t let anyone add you to any group without your permission. The three options let you choose – everyone can add you to a group, your contacts, or those you choose from your contacts.

4. Leave Group Silently: When you choose to exit a group silently, it will not notify everyone in the chat thread but only the group admins. This feature aims to help users feel more comfortable about leaving groups they no longer wish to be in.

5. Admin control: By default, any group participants can send messages and change the group information including, the group subject, icon, or description. However, WhatsApp settings enable administrators to decide who can send messages within groups.

6. Fact checking on WhatsApp: In India, there are 10 independent fact-checking organizations on WhatsApp that help users to identify, review, and verify the information and help prevent the spread of misinformation on its platform. Additionally, WhatsApp enables its users to verify the information by texting The Poynter Institute’s IFCN WhatsApp chatbot to validate a message or information. WhatsApp encourages users to verify news that sounds suspicious or fake.

WhatsApp is an industry leader among end-to-end encrypted messaging services in preventing abuse and promoting online security. Committed to keeping you and your private messages safe, WhatsApp believes in empowering users with tools, features, and resources that help them make informed decisions and keep your communication safe and secure.
