“Critical alerts always play a sound and appear on the lock screen even if your iPhone is muted or Do Not Disturb is on,” reads the description. Read: What is Find My app’s “Notify When Left Behind” and how do I use it? Open the Home app after updating to iOS 15.5 and you should be greeted with a new dialog asking whether you’d like to permit the Home app to receive critical alerts. With the Home app in iOS 15.5, you can now elect to receive critical alerts. Just like with standard notifications, the user must opt-in to receive critical alerts. Critical alerts typically deliver crucial notifications for things like important health alerts, weather emergencies, battery notifications and the like. With iOS 12, Apple introduced a new notification type dubbed critical alerts which break through Do Not Disturb modes and cannot be silenced. This wasn’t possible before and is an awesome feature addition for troubleshooting purposes! Notifications for critical alerts With iOS 15.5 installed on your iPhone and when you access the settings for your HomePod or HomePod mini in the Home app, you’ll almost miss a small but useful addition: Wi-Fi signal bars showing you, for the first time, the strength of the wireless signal of the Wi-Fi network your speaker is currently connected to. In addition, the Home app now features a new notification type for critical alerts, as first reported by Jeff Benjamin at 9to5Mac. IOS 15.5 brings some interesting Home app improvementsĪpple yesterday released the first developer beta of iOS 15.5 and there are two new noteworthy improvements for the Home app including Wi-Fi signal bars for HomePod connectivity.
O Ability to view asymmetries (Left vs.Apple’s iOS 15.5 software adds HomePod Wi-Fi signal bars to the Home app, which also now features a notification for critical alerts. O Shoulder Internal and External Rotation O Ability to capture data and tag various isometric assessments including: O Ability to create multiple test profiles The Strength Gauge App includes a number of other features to allow the user to collect, organize, and compare a vast range of data. O Impulse (IMP) – is the amount of force generated in a certain time period and determines the velocity of an object
RFD is important in reactive type tasks such as preventing falls O Rate of force development (RFD) – indicates the explosive force capability of users and we have the capability of identifying this over certain time periods e.g. O Peak force – measures maximal strength of a movement at a certain time The APP provides time-stamped data, which lends itself to a great deal of flexibility in determining other variables of interest (shown below): The Strength Gauge App can provide users and their coaches with real time actionable feedback that will inform them of a user’s maximal strength output, rate of force development and impulse. This data is sent to a connected device to be analysed and displayed for coaches/trainers to better manage the implementation of their strength and conditioning regimes.
Strength Gauge utilises a mobile, wireless strain gauge technology to enable the generation of a reliable uniform set of force data for evaluating a user’s strength qualities while minimising risk to athletes and reducing the costs associated with more expensive technologies and injuries from maximal strength methods.
Strength Gauge was developed by Texas Kiwi, in conjunction with AUT Professor Dr John Cronin, a world recognised leader in strength and conditioning. Strength Gauge & the Strength Gauge Device assesses isometric strength qualities
