Phone attachment makes sure your liver is OK

Phone_checks.jpg

When you drink way too much, it makes your liver sad. Unfortunately, the only way your liver can tell you just how sad you're making it is by failing, which is a pretty extreme way of getting the message across which, in all likelihood, will kill you.

If you'd like to get some more subtle hints from your liver that wont end in your own demise, there's a new phone attachment in the works that you might be interested in. Being developed by Korean researchers, the liver-checking add-on will have a built-in sensor that will check a couple of enzymes in your blood. It'll then send the results to a local doctor, who will analyze the results and get 'em sent back to your phone. Once you see those, you can decide whether or not another handle of whisky is a good idea. Ah, technology!
