Feeling good? See if the Tinke agrees with your assessment. Designed to
plug into an iPhone, the tiny device can give you a snapshot of your
respiratory rate, blood oxygen levels and heart rate. Here's how: Pop
the device into your iPhone (or an iPad or iPod Touch), choose a health
index from the included app and place your thumb over the device's
sensor.
If you opt for the Vita index, the device will record your heart
rate, respiratory rate and blood oxygen levels and then use these
results to gauge your level of fitness.
If you choose the Zen index, it
will rate your relaxation based on your heart rate's variability. Just
be forewarned that the device can be a bit finicky. If the room is too
bright or you're too fidgety, it often won't work, which could make you
feel anything but relaxed.
Available in blue, pink, gray or white, the Zensorium device costs about $120.
