Turn Your Traditional Watch into a Health Tracker – Smart Strap for Longevity: Olga Nijpels-Tishurova, Watchibia

Alex Jani: interviewing visionaries of healthcare innovation

How does your health tracker fit into your style?

Well, my guest today wasn’t happy with how her plastic-looking health tracker did not match her Rolex. But longevity was important to her. Connecting the dots, she started developing a smart strap. To her Rolex. Or Omega, Gucci, Patek Philippe – any traditional watch you fancy.

In this episode, you will hear about

  • a health tracker that matches your style
  • high-end vulcanized rubber used for this smart strap
  • what you can track with a smart strap health tracker
  • a startup collaboration with CSEM or Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology
  • and how a smart strap can save the traditional watch industry

My guest, Olga Nijpels-Tishurova, is the founder and CEO of Watchibia. She’s combined her experience in the electronics industry with her love for luxury watches and aesthetics, and a focus on extending healthspan.

Watchibia is a Swiss startup that develops a smart strap for traditional watches. Think, wearing your favorite watch, a Rolex, Omega, Gucci, Patek Philippe, whatever you fancy, and simply changing the strap to track your health. No additional fitness tracker needed.
