In an effort to get humans to take better care of themselves, Hosain Rahman and his company, Jawbone, has come up with a bracelet that helps us make sure we are treating our bodies right so they serve us as efficiently as possible.

The battery is currently only available as an external jacket that fits NEC’s super-slim Medias Android (Japan only) smart phones, hopefully plans are in place to expand the charger’s compatibility to other devices. Zach from Endgadget explains how the charger pushes a large amount of amps to get the battery charged faster as opposed to generic chargers that push a miniscule amount of charge to the battery.
