World's first edible wearable' tracks your heart rate - and provides a tasty post-workout snack
You like wearable technologies, and you like bananas, but which is better? Now, you don’t have to choose, as a company has found a way to combine the two.
Dubbed ‘the world’s first edible wearable’, Dole Japan has unveiled their rather odd smart banana with built-in LEDs and sensors. Designed for marathon runners, the device can apparently track your running time and even advises you when to eat the fruit.
