SkyZen is a new app that promises to lessen the effects of jet lag when crossing time zones. Not only can this app help keep users more alert, but it also helps travelers improve their overall health when flying.
The app was developed by the 'International Air Transport Association' and it works in conjunction with the Jawbone UP wristband. The technology keeps track of a passenger's health and wellbeing by monitoring their activity and sleeping habits before, during and after the flight. This data is then cross-referenced with current flight activity. Based on this information, the app will deliver personalized feedback and tips for overcoming the effects of jet lag.
The app is particularly useful for frequent fliers because it generates more valuable insight as it collects a greater amount of data.
