NTT reveals mobile for the health-conscious

Wellness Keitai

NTT DoCoMo yesterday revealed its ‘Wellness Keitai’, which is Japanglish for ‘Health Mobile’. The handset has a number of potentially life-preserving features, including a pulse reader, a body fat percentage counter thingy, a pedometer (to tell you how far you’ve walked), a ‘workout music player’ that matches tunes to desired calorie loss rates, and — believe it or not — a bad breath sensor. And it’s all wrapped up inside a rather snazzy case, which is loosely based on DoCoMo’s popular D903i handset.

There’s no confirmation of when/if the ‘Wellness Keitai’ will be released in Japan, but it at least exists in prototype form. You can see more photos of this ingenious creation over at Impress Watch.
