If you’re trying to decide whether he’s “the one,” this high-tech bra might offer you an answer, said Doug Aamoth in Time.com. A Japanese company called Ravijour has come up with a device called the “True Love Tester,” a Bluetooth-enabled bra that “can only be unhooked when sensors built into the bra detect true love.” The sensors measure a woman’s heart rate and detect the presence of a group of hormones called catecholamines, which the designers claim are “only secreted when you’re truly in love.” The bra sends the data to a phone app, which calculates a “True Love Rate”; only if it’s high enough can the bra can be unlocked. The product “appears to only be a concept” at this stage, but “we’re an industrious species.” Maybe “true love can turn this true love tester into a purchasable product.”
