GENA allows direct connection to iPhone and iPad devices and can receive notifications without requiring a dedicated mobile application. Developers can also remotely control smartphone features such as music playback and camera triggering. With integrated sensors, Bluetooth connectivity, and a low power display, the platform enables developers and makers to build devices such as smartwatches, activity trackers, smart home controllers, and other wearable technology solutions. The platform supports JavaScript programming which makes application development simple and accessible even for developers with minimal embedded programming experience. With open APIs and cross platform development tools, GENA provides a flexible environment for prototyping and creating customized wearable solutions.
