New Phone Wants to be Your Personal Trainer

coondoggie writes to tell us that a new prototype "Wellness Phone" has been developed. Designed to help users with everything from staying in shape to checking your breath, the new phone can measure things like body fat, pulse, and even stress level through a series of questions. "The companies are reportedly still testing some of the phone's more advanced technology, including a function to keep track of meals and calculate calorific intake, as well as a network capacity to let users share data. The companies haven't said when nor how much they will sell the phones. Plus it doesn't look like they be sold in the US anytime soon either."

This feature set is not limited to phones...

the new phone can measure things like body fat, pulse, and even stress level through a series of questions.

My wife has a ring on her finger that does exactly the same thing. When she's feeling fat and her pulse is elevated with a high stress level, the ring leaves a big red dent on my forehead.

Why a phone?

Why do we keep putting crap in phones?

I don't need a tire pressure gauge, a fountain pen, blood pressure monitor, or a cigarette lighter in my phone. I'll use my phone for making phone calls.
