Quitbit tells you how many days you have left

Wearable fitness trackers have seen a surge in popularity over the last year or so, and even though people use them to find ways to improve the shape they’re in and overall quality of life, the deep, subconscious motivation for some is to add as many extra days onto their lives as possible. Well, now they’re in luck, because Union is creating a new fitness tracker that tells people exactly when they’re going to die.

Okay, so Quitbit isn’t a real product (yet), but the idea, produced for Mount Pleasant Group of cemeteries and funeral homes, is to get people to think ahead about planning for what will happen once they do pass on. And since something like the Quitbit doesn’t exist to tell us when that day will come, the earlier you start, the better.
