New Delhi: Have you been eating too many garlic potato chips or just feeling under the weather?
Your phone could soon warn you about al that and more.
What can be called ‘a doctor in your pocket’, the Fitness Phone isn’t quite that but it come close.
It takes the pulse, measures body fat, and counts the steps you take and the calories you burn. It even checks ‘bad breath’.
“I am over 40 and I want to stay fit. At first, I didn't think a cell phone could help me. But now that I have seen it, I believe it can,” says a business, Hiroshi Yukawa.
“Anybody trying to stay fit could use this phone. But we think overweight businessmen and women on diets would be our primary customers,” says Kentaro Endo of NTT DoCoMo.
Previewed by Japan's NTT DoCoMo, the Fitness Phone is still just a prototype.
You can even expect other bells and whistles like GPS tracking and even an alcohol-breathalyser when it hits a store near you.
