“Dieters already track calories and steps, and now researchers have developed a device that they can wear on their wrists to count the number of bites they take of their food. Researchers at South Carolina’s Clemson University say that The Bite Monitor measures subtle wrist motions to detect bites with what they claim is 90per cent accuracy – and helps users get to the ‘optimum’ 100. ‘It’s a little bit like a pedometer for your mouth,’ Eric Muth, a psychology professor who created the device with computer-engineering professor Adam Hoover, told The Wall Street Journal. The concept will soon be tested in a study funded by the National Institutes of Health.”
