Cell Phone Tells You to Eat Right

by Terrence O'Brien on May 29, 2007 at 11:02 AM



So you've got your fancy Treo or Windows Mobile smartphone, but you still don't feel like it's carrying its weight. Do you sometimes wish your phone could take on some maternal characteristics and tell you stop cursing, wear clean underwear, and eat right? Kristina Lee is working on at least the last item on that list.

She's designed a conceptual health-conscious phone that uses eNose technology to "smell" the chemical make up of your food and tell you what nutritional necessities you're missing over time. One day, maybe all of our phones will burst out in condescending voices, "eat your vegetables!"
