PowerDot muscle stimulator arrives in Singapore

Leader Radio Technologies, a distributor of innovative communication and IT products in Asia Pacific, has launched what it says is the world’s first wearable connected muscle stimulator in Singapore.

The PowerDot wearable is tiny and can be worn under clothing.

Developed by Singapore company Smartmissimo Technologies, PowerDot uses electrical muscle stimulation (EMS), mimicking nerve impulses to engage muscles during a workout. The Bluetooth-ready wearable can be controlled from a smartphone, and promises to painlessly enhance stamina, endurance and muscle tone even during office hours.

Priced at S$239, the PowerDot can be used to repair and prepare the body for intensity workouts, say its designers. Alex Pisarev, founder of PowerDot says: “Muscle stimulators have been around for a while now but PowerDot is a huge game changer as it provides accessiblity and ease of use by tapping into the everyday resource of a smartphone.

"PowerDot isn’t a one-fit-all muscle stimulator but it offers training programmes that deliver custom power-packed workout routines to athletes and sports enthusiasts of any level. Whether it’s a speedy recovery for sprinters or resistance building for gymnists, athletes in various sports can take advantage of PowerDot to boost their sports performance and improve results.” 

PowerDot is Bluetooth-enabled and is controlled from an iOS or Android smartphone.

PowerDot is available at Challenger, Courts, Epicenter, Newstead Technologies and selected retailers in Singapore.

New radio programme promotes knowledge sharing in Oman

Knowledge Oman, a knowledge sharing community platform in the Sultanate of Oman, will be involved in a new hour-long weekly radio programme in collaboration with the Ministry of information.  

Tariq Al Barwani, Founder and President of Knowledge Oman, will be hosting a live radio FM programme every Tuesday at 5.30pm called 'Knowledge Talks'. The hourly programme can be heard on 90.4 FM radio in the Sultanate. 

"It's a weekly interview with various industry experts and leaders on different fields that contribute to knowledge," Al Barwani explained.

Knowledge Oman is entirely run voluntarily by a team of local and expatriate community living in Oman. The organisation creates programmes and launches initiatives that contribute to the mission of promoting knowledge. It has collaborated with Microsoft, e-Max, the largest electronic store in the country, and the Information Technology Authority of Oman, among others. 
 
Knowledge Oman has also worked with other ministries in Oman. It recently announced a collaboration with the Ministry of Education to extend its mission of promoting knowledge by conducting a series of workshops across Oman.
