There you are wrist deep into a quart of Ben & Jerry’s Chunky Monkey, digging ever deeper. You can’t deny it. Your necklace is recording the ice-cream binge, which it will later dispatch to a coach or dietician.
The aim is not to induce guilt but rather answer the question: « How did you get here? »
Meet NeckSense, the first technology to precisely and passively record multiple eating behaviors. It can detect in the real world when people are eating, including how fast they chew, how many bites they take and how many times their hands head to their mouths. This data—along with other information like heart rate—will help scientists understand what leads to binging or troublesome eating behaviors and how to intervene to stop those behaviors in real time.
