According to this article the koreans are releasing new phones soon which can check your blood pressure,heart rate,stress levels and one that even checks your eye sight.Aswell a phone that has a built in breathaliser for all you heavy drinkers who drink and like to drive.
Article:
SK Telecom said recently that it plans on introducing a "mobile health care phone" next month, which is targeted at subscribers who are at least middle aged. The company claims the phone, which comes with a battery that contains a sensor, can monitor the phone owners' blood sugar, stress and body fat levels, all by merely placing a finger on the sensor.
Not to be outdone, KTF plans to introduce this month a cellphone that it claims provides eyesight checkups, including color blindness tests. The phone owner only needs to look into the phone's monitor for the checkups, and a program can determine one's eye prescription. KTF said the service is for customers who rarely have time to visit the eye doctor because they can't get away from the office.
For those who might have too much to drink after work, KTF is also coming out with a phone where the customer can check his or her blood alcohol content.
Through a simple game, a program determines how intoxicated the phone owner is by measuring how fast and accurate the phone owner reacts when the icon moves. KTF said it expects a large number of customers who enjoy drinking to subscribe to the service.
