\"Nymi\"<\/span><\/a><\/p>

Subscriptions, payments, online bank accounts, access to computers and smartphones... to secure all of these hi-tech activities<\/a> we need - of course - a password! Sometimes, it is so boring to type the same old password again and again to gain access to what we need, or, even worse when we forget it or write it down on a piece of paper and then lose it...<\/p>

Yes, but soon, this boring problem could be fixed by the start-up Bionym,<\/strong> specialized in Biometrics that has created Nymi<\/strong>, a sleek wristband that could use our heartbeat as a password.\u00a0The company has spent six years researching and developing the core technology that they have launched and that uses our unique electrocardiogram signals (ECG).<\/p>

How does it work?<\/span> <\/h5>

All you\u00a0have to do is connect the wrist band to your Smartphone<\/a> using Bluetooth LE, then place your finger on the topside sensor while your wrist is in contact with the bottom sensor. Those three elements connected together - The wrist band, our heart beat, and our device<\/strong> - will prove that we are who we claim to be without the need for a password. So we could take control of our favourite devices until our Nymi is taken off.<\/p>

But that's not all! The wristband could do much more. Thanks to its built-in proximity sensor and gesture control system, it could also be used for unlocking our house or our car.<\/p>

We have here a biometric identification system that could most likely protect our computer, car, apps and so on against hackers and all other kinds of impostors.<\/p>

You can pre-order the Nymi<\/strong><\/a> right now, at a special price of USD80 for the first 25,000 orders. After this, the price will increase to USD100.<\/p>
