Philips Vital Signs is a new app that measures the vital signs of your fleshy, mortal body as it inches ever closer to its demise (we like to be dramatic sometimes).
The app utilises the iPad 2's camera to detect your heart rate by picking up variations in the colour of your face as a result of your beating pulse. Breathing is measured by the movement of your shoulders and all data can naturally (and rather pointlessly) be shared with your friends.
Although a handy feature, Philips wisely states that it should in no way replace a professional medical diagnosis.
The Vital Signs app costs US$0.99, but has not yet been released on the Australian iTunes store. If you want to purchase the app from the US site, click here for a workaround.
