Hapifork - A Handy Fork Monitors Your Eating Behavior

Eating fast will cause weight gain, digestive problems, gastric reflux and postoperative complications. The HAPIfork is an electronic fork that helps you monitor and track your eating habits. It also alerts you with the help of indicator lights when you are eating too fast. Every time you bring food from your plate to your mouth with your fork, this action is called a "fork serving". HAPIfork records when you touch your fork to your mouth, and can tell how long the interval is between each fork serving. If you eat too fast, HAPIfork alerts you with a gentle vibration and indicator light to discreetly remind you to slow down. 

Hapifork monitors The number of “fork servings" taken per minute and per meal, the specific duration of each "fork serving" interval, your overall meal duration, the exact time at which you start and end your meal. This information is then uploaded via USB to your Online Dashboard to track your progress. The HAPIfork also comes with the HAPILABS app plus a coaching program to help improve your eating behavior. This is awarded the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2013 Innovations Award. Designed by hapilabs and currently seeks funding at kickstarter.
