Motion sickness wrist watch

Juniper Foo | Apr 27, 2006

First, the bad news. At the time of writing, this motion sickness watch was all out, which should be a telling indication. The other bad news: The barf bag industry is likely to face shrinking demand after this. Now for the good news. It's the only medical device to receive FDA (the US Government's Food and Drug Administration) clearance for non-prescription use, and is conveniently designed as a wristwatch. Anytime you feel the need to hurl, just hit the button and gentle electrical signals are supposed to transmit through your wrist to your brain with the message that all is steady. Hopefully, version two will at least be able to tell the time as well.
