New necklace that lets you know when you have eaten too much

We live in a world of endless possibilities where anything is possible and scientists have proven this once more by developing a necklace dubbed the ‘diet choker’ that monitors everything that goes down your throat and sends you an alert if you overeat.

WearSens is a metal ring that goes around your neck and has a sensor which uses the vibrations in your throat to tell when you are eating and drinking.

The researchers behind the device have linked it up to a smartphone app which buzzes if you go over your daily calorie limit.

It also lets you know if you eat too much of the wrong kind of food.

The device was developed by engineers at the University of California, Los Angeles and so far the tests on 30 people show that the it does work.

But the reaction elsewhere has been mixed reaction and some tech websites likened it to a choke collar, though it does not contract if you eat too much.

Another website, Bustle.com, dubbed it the ‘weirdest (tech) wearable we have seen to date’.

In a demonstration posted on YouTube, the device asks for the user’s age, height, weight and their goal such as to lose weight or stay the same.

It will then tell them what they have eaten, how fast they eat their food and gives them advice such as if you miss a meal it mentions how it could leave you fatigued.

The UCLA researchers said that other applications they could see for the device included tracking when somebody takes a pill to ensure they take their daily medicine.

It could also remotely monitor breathing patterns of transplant patients as abnormal breathing may be an early indicator that the organ is being rejected.

Even smokers who are trying to quit could benefit from the device as it could potentially tell when they are puffing away from the movement in their neck.

The WearSens is the latest example of the growing industry of wearable tech and comes on the day that Apple is due to release details of its long-awaited smart watch.

Check out the demonstration video and let us know what do you think bout this new wearable technological gadget.
