With the HAPIfork Bluetooth-Enabled Smart Fork, your silverware is now smart enough to help you lose weight.
When it’s time to stuff our faces, we usually don’t pay attention to how long it took to eat or how many times we lifted our food-laden fork to our slobbering mouths, which is where the world’s first smart fork enters the picture.
The HAPIfork, combined with your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, can keep track of a number of variables during a meal, including how long it took to eat your meal and how many ‘fork servings’ you had. If the fork determines that you’re eating too fast, it lights up and vibrates. The idea behind the concept is that it takes 15-20 minutes to feel satisfied so you could eat too much by the time your body lets you know you’re actually full. Eating slower means you give your body time to receive the full signal, resulting in fewer calories consumed.
