چکیده
Introduction Based in Tel Aviv, Israel, Seraphim Sense Ltd is the creator of the Angel sensor, a wearable wristband with the capacity to track the user's vital signs. Founded by Eugene Jorov and Amir Schlomovich, the Angel device is the company’s first product and has been under development for the past two years. In 2013, Seraphim Sense launched a crowdfunding campaign on the web-based platform www.Indiegogo.com, where it raised $334,521 from 1873 donors worldwide. The company estimates that the first Angel sensor will hit the market in April of 2015. The organization has intimated its intention to seek FDA approval for the Angel sensor, which would make the sensor a medical grade device. Additionally, the sensor will be supported by iOS and Android, and will be accessible by web API.
