The BitBite is an eating monitor that uses a discreet ear-clip to stay on top of what you're eating. This device is perfect for people who are worried about their lack of self-control while eating, or anyone looking to better understand their own eating habits.
While there are many eating trackers on the market, the BitBite is unique in that it uses a microphone and sensors to capture the sounds made while you eat. Data from these recordings is then sent to a cloud, where an algorithm processes and analyzes the information before relaying it to a smartphone app.
The developers of the BitBite have taken to Indiegogo to raise funds for its production and distribution. A pledge of $109 will get you set up with one tracking unit come mid-2015 if the campaign hits its fundraising target.
