With a death toll of about 4,000 people in the U.S. alone, swine flu is a clear and present danger – and it could be lurking in a human body near you!

True, this smart wearable technology could lead to a very lonely corner on the subway for anyone suffering from a fever, but it would certainly help to curb the spread of deadly germs in a simple (and pretty) manner. Plus it’s a pretty effective way for you to get your boss to tell you to go home.
