St. Petersburg-based HealBe engages crowdfunding goers at Indiegogo.com for GoBe earning $1,084,311 Tuesday, with the original goal set at $100,000.

The campaign began March 5, raising $18,000 the first 24 hours and topped it off with six times the follow two weeks. The campaign trail attracted 4,500 devotees with gifts ranging from $10-$16,000.

The campaign is not without its bumps, expert skeptics vocalized their concerns about the GoBe tech with refunds as a repercussion amounting to 3% of the total earned.

All funds earned (which are already available) are planned to be used for promotional purposes and development of the project. Expectant launch date is slated for June this year.

The company acclaimed "first and only" device is worn around the wrist and measure calorie intake and burned assessing sugar content in the blood. For an accurate measurement, skin contact is required to evaluate physical activity, hydration, sleep, stress levels, and more.
