UP is a special bracelet. The designer Yves Béhar from Switzerland designed it.
The bracelet has an app on it. An app is a program for a smartphone or a tablet. When you put the bracelet on your wrist, the app can detect different habits. It detects for example what you eat, for how long you sleep and how much you move around.
The bracelet detects all of this and gives you advice on how to improve your habits: for example by eating more healthy food or by doing more sports. The purpose of UP is to make people feel better and more confident.
The surface is flexible and has a zigzag pattern. This shows: The processes in nature repeat themselves. The technology in the bracelet is hidden under the surface on purpose.
