Fujitsu unveils smartphone to gauge skin condition


A mobile phone that monitors the user’s skin condition, checking for blemishes and color, was unveiled in beauty-conscious Japan on Thursday.



A spokeswoman said the skin system comes with a small card that has a 15 mm hole, which must be pressed to the cheek. The smartphone’s camera then takes a picture of the skin and analyzes the result.

The Hada Memori is the first of a series of devices that will measure users’ stress levels, exercise habits and quality of sleep, helping the company gather a significant pool of health data that it can then sell on.
