Hey guys check how technology has gone far! ;)
A new smart eating utensil called the HapiFork, bite-tracking, counts how fast someone eats and gently vibrates if they're going too fast.
Using the HapiFork what can be improved is how fast people eat. It takes 20 minutes for the stomach to tell the brain it is full and that it's time to stop eating, putting speedy eaters at risk for being overeaters. The HapiFork team says there are many potential health benefits to eating slower, including decreasing acid reflux, obesity and diabetes.
The device can also be set up for behavior modification, vibrating any time the diner is eating too quickly as a gentle reminder to slow down. By default it is set to allow a bite every 10 seconds, though the exact time is customizable.
The $99 fork first gained attention during the Consumer Electronics Show in January 2013 and will be on the market by the end of the year.
