Death Watch Can Predict How Long A Person Will Live: Then Count Down To The Time Of Death

Smartphone and gadgets have come up with innovative and novel ideas to make our life easy. Many health apps are included in a device to help monitor a person's health and stay fit. However, health and lifestyle is one issue that many people have to deal with on an everyday basis. Apple has laid emphasis on this issue and created the health app that monitors the health of the user.

If a person is worried about what his lifestyle may be doing to his health, here is a gadget that will help. According to the Dailymail, a watch that calculates how long a person will live and count down to the time of death was invented by an innovator in Sweden.

The watch is called the "Death Watch" and was created by Fredrik Colting. He has named it the Tikker. The watch looks like a regular digital watch. It will calculate how long a person is expected to live and it will even count down to the time of death. The digital display has a row at the top that shows the years, months and days. It has a second row that counts down hours, minutes and seconds. The bottom row shows the local time.

According to Colting though the watch can bring gloomy tidings he calls it "The Happiness Watch" and it was designed to help people make the most out of their life and cherish the time they have been left with.

To set up Tikker, the wearer will have to fill out a questionnaire by entering all information regarding his medical history, including what he is allergic to and the illneness he is suffering from at present. The wearer is also asked where he smoke or drinks and if there was any instances of diabetes, cancer or any other diseases in the family.

Additional questions are asked regarding the amount of exercise they do and how much they weigh. After this, the wearer is given a score. With the information provided by the user, the age and date of death will be predicted. The Tikker that works as a regular watch will start its count down.

To create the watch Colt was short of funds, around $ 25,000 was needed for the project. But since it was crowd funded around $ 98,000 was raised. The gadget is available for sale on line for £49.99.

According to Colting "For all of us, life comes with a best-before date." This idea to create a gadget that would predict death struck him when his grandfather passed away. He went on to add life and death cannot be negotiated. All there is to do is to learn how to treasure every moment and the life that has been given to us. A person must seize the day and follow his heart.

In modern society, nobody talks about death, but it still happens and it occurs every day. Colt goes on to state that if a person know when he is going to die he will make better choices when he is alive. Sarah Kabunga a customer who bought the watch at Firebox.com stated that time waits for no man and we are all aware of it.
