“Keyble”, Wearable Designed by Ely Rozenberg, is exhibited in the legendary design and architecture programme, Annual Good Design® Show at the EUROPEAN CENTER in Athens, Greece
Flywallet, an Italian start-up and Ely Rozenberg (industrial designer and RUFA lecturer) are the winners of the only Italian wearable awarded with the prestigious GOOD DESIGN® Award 2021!
Keyble, is a new type of wearable technology device that meets the needs of contemporary lifestyles.
Made with eco-friendly materials and inspired by the tradition of Made in Italy, it consists of a smart module to be inserted into fashion accessories such as bracelets or straps and is equipped with biometric sensors to authenticate the user and monitor vital parameters with medical precision.
Through fingerprinting or heartbeat and ECG (electrocardiogram), the user enables contactless payments in shops, password-free access to online services, ticketing, loyalty cards, access to gyms, offices and homes, opening cars and digital identity.
Keyble will obtain certification as a medical device to perform analysis of cardiac arrhythmias, blood oxygen saturation and body temperature.
Human civilisation developed payment methods as far back as 40,000 years ago starting with barter that evolved with precious metal coins, banknotes and with the digital revolution – credit cards, smartphones and the first generation of wearables.
The next step in this revolution will be second-generation wearable devices with biometric authentication sensors.
The uniqueness of Keyble is the dual biometric verification of the user: fingerprint and ECG without the need to remember codes, without the need to use a mobile phone and without ‘closed ecosystem’ limitations as it is with some popular platforms.
