A color-coded LED ring gives instant feedback on water quality, and a mobile app offers detailed data and recommendations - including which of several included filters to use for optimal water.Įcomo’s photovoltaic exterior provides solar power, while the interior hardware relies on microfluidics - technologies for precisely controlling the flow of tiny amounts of liquid - which CEO Eric (Zhiqiang) Li worked on at Carnegie Mellon.Ī handheld Bluetooth device that promises to tell users what’s in any food item at the press of a button, based on the spectrum of light that food reflects.
