Wrist band that monitor your health

USA based company Jawbone has developed a wristband that keep track of wearer's health. This accessory, called the Up Wristband tracks the user's eating habits, sleep and exercise, working in sync with an application in the user's smartphone. The machine monitors everything the wearer does, ranging from prompting to get up and move if he/she has been sitting still for a long time to recording everything he/she eats. The wristband is durable, water resistant and unobtrusive, and can be worn with any type of dress. Inside it is a motion sensor which records things like steps, calories burned, distance covered, and active versus inactive time. Funnily enough, the machine even nags the user for sitting inactive for too long. The motion sensor even tracks one while sleeping-tracking one's movement to gauge when one falls asleep, how long one sleeps, and how much deep sleep one is getting. The smartphone application then prompts one to take a photo of every meal, and tracks where, when and what one has eaten. A "Feed" screen then offers up-to-date information about how one is doing in respect of health. USA based company Jawbone has developed a wristband that keep track of wearer's health.
