This acupuncture-inspired smart pen tells you if you have enough vitamins. The vitals-advising handheld device helps you track your vitamin and mineral levels with an accompanying app that combines health data with acupuncture wisdom. The Vitastiq is a different kind of health tracker.
The user-friendly stylus identifies deficiencies before physical symptoms occur. This is great for people who are a little anemic and don't want to feel fatigued before having to take their iron supplements. The smart pen plugs into the headphone jack of any smartphone and gives off a small electric current. When you place the electrode on the acupuncture points of your body, you will not feel pain, but gain valuable insight into your own health.
