That universal device that is the smartphone continues to surprise us with new ways its sensors, processing power and connectedness can be deployed.
A new accessory for the data hungry, (paranoid) health conscious consumer is the Lapka, which Springwise calls:
an aesthetically pleasing and scientifically accurate personal environment monitor, consisting of white plastic sensors and an app that presents the data in a visual and easy-to-understand way.
The Lapka device and accompanying app will variously fill you in on:
- The amount of nitrates in your food or drink (showing how “organic” it is)
- The amount of radiation in your environment
- Electromagnetic fields caused by electronic devices
- Temperature and humidity
