Bracelet Lets Long-Distance Couples Feel Each Other’s Hearts Beating In Real Time

Joanna Montgomery of design company Little Riot wanted to help people feel connected with loved ones even when they were miles apart.

She came up with Pillow Talk, a device that tracks the wearer’s heartbeat for your distant significant other to feel or hear.

The soft bracelet uses a sensor to monitor the heartbeat and wirelessly transmit it to a tiny speaker that you can pop under your pillow.

Couples sync their Pillow Talk devices via their smartphones and can listen to each other’s hearts beating in real time.

It’s a little bit strange but, in its own way, quite romantic.

Even when you’re on-the-go you can listen to your loved one’s heartbeat via a headphone, so you can be certain they’re alive 24/7.

Or you could, er, phone them for a chat to be absolutely certain.
