Change your mood with Doppel

If you ever feel the need to change your mood with the push of a button, there’s now a wearable for that.

The faster rhythm the Doppel creates, the more alert you will feel; whereas a slower one will calm you down. Use Doppel to stay calm and motivated and tackle everything you have to do for the day.

BACtrack Skyn can tell you when you’re drunk

Ever leave a bar after a few cocktails and wonder, “I wonder what my BAC level is right now?” Now you never have to wonder again. Introducing BACtrack Skyn, a wearable that can be worn on the wrist or attached to an Apple Watch band, and can monitor your alcohol level in real time. This wearable is a huge upgrade for the company, which previously designed the BACtrack Mobile Breathalyzer, a breathalyzer that you would blow into and get the BAC levels on your phone, which as you can imagine wasn’t too discrete. The wearable continuously monitors your alcohol level in real time, taking its measurements from your skin. You can set the wearable to alert you if you are drinking too fast or if you hit a certain BAC. Find out more and sign up to pre-order one here
