a research at 2010 mention more than three million
people in the world die cause of obesity. That
number is threefold than number die cause of
malnutrition.
Obesity can occur cause of some factor, one of

the mouth and breaks with the next mouthfel is also
considered. Put food into the mouth in the mouth

obesity.
Progress of biomedical and health information
technology provide exciting opportunities for the
effectiveness of health care, is no exception to
control eat rules. Smart Health is a health care
system that requires effective tools to organize and
disseminate information relevant to the customer
with the underlying evidence. Smart health has
begun to be pursued by HAPILABS with one of
its product were nameed HAPIfork.

way to feel, improve the digestion and lose the
weight. The HAPIfork destination to change the
behavior eat with slow down someone the eat speed
when eat than leads to healty life condition.
Unlike other health-related equpment,
HAPIfork inconspicuous and suitable for use out of
the home. Smart Fork equipped with Bluetooth are

European Union in the fourth quarter of this year.
II. HISTORY AND MOTIVATION
HAPIfork introduced on April, 18 2013 by a
company called HAPILABS. HAPILABS is a
company engaged in the field of technological
innovation, based in Hong Kong. In January
HAPIfork technology included in the competition
Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January,
HAPIfork is a recipient of the CES Innovations
Award category, the Health & Fitness category.
HAPIfork itself was created based on personal
experiences its discoverer, namely Jacques Lepine.
First, he has the habit of eating too fast. One time,
Lapine was rushed to hospital with a suspected
heart attack. It turns out the doctor diagnosed him
with reflux of gastric and Lepine warned to slow
down his eating.
Seven years later, Lepine created a fork for
eating speed monitor, named HAPIfork. This fork
will vibrate and light up when the wearer to put
food into the mouth less than 10 seconds after the
last bite.
"Your hormones will be a victim when you eat
too fast.'s Bad for bad for digestion and nutrient
solutions. Fact, according to recent studies, it takes
10-45 minutes to release the hormone
cholecystokinin which signals your brain that
you're full," said Lepine as reported by Medical
Daily.
HAPIfork initially researched and developed for
clinical and medical use but Lapine assume that
HAPIfork must-have for the health of all people.
Later, he developed this fork in order to keep an
eye on their calorie intake by users.
The concept of "eating slowly" itself is also
supported by a growing body of scientific research
suggests that eating too quickly not only
contributes to excess weight but also to changes in
metabolism that are harmful.
In 2002, there were a series of scientific studies
that highlight the negative effects related to eating
food too quickly, the result is.
1. Weight gain: as during the meal, satiety is
felt after about 20 minutes. The faster you
eat, the more you eat.
2. Digestive problems: food that is eaten too
quickly is often poorly chewed. The work
of the digestive tract is made more
difficult.
3. Gastric reflux: several studies have
shown that the faster one eats, the more
likely the possiblity of gastric reflux.
4. Postoperative complications: eating
more slowly lessens the stress on
weakened tissues.
HAPIfork can monitor three things: how long
you eat, how long does it take to make your mouth
and how much food you can swallow

IV. WAYS OF WORKING
HAPIfork is a unique gadget that works by
monitoring the precise time when users start and
end the meal, a portion of the amount taken per
minute and also how much time is spent on eating
any portion. The feeding device has a sensor that
will measure the interval between holding a fork
from plate to mouth popped to the user and return
to the starting position. If the user is eating too
quickly, this fork will 'remind' users to eat more
slowly by vibrating vibrator in it as well as the
existing lights will be lit on the fork. All data on the
eating habits of users will be stored in the fork.
When finished eating, the data will be transmitted
from the fork to HAPIfork account, either via
Bluetooth or by connecting the fork to the
computer via USB. The information aims to track
the progress of the user. Information about your
food can be shared to friends or kept private.

V. OVERAGE AND DEFICIENCY
A. Overrage :
The advantages of this technology are.
1. Has interested design and unique also have
availability for some color as an option..
2. Can see that there is data via computer,
iPhone, Android and iOS smartphones.
3. Have a high compability with mobile devices
to view, transfer and save
4. Able to change user eating habits and become
better able to control the speed of eating in a
more precise and orderly as well as weight
loss can be maintained
5. Washable eclectronic devices off before
washing.
B. Deficiency:
Because this technology is still new considered
,there is have not seen no shortage of use
HAPIfork. It's just the price HAPIfork fairly
expensive for the size of the fork which is about $
99.
VI. INNOVATION
HAPIfork technology is very good and
innovative. For further innovation could HAPIfork
equipped with calorie counts on foods that have
users spend. Calorie calculations can be done by
placing a sensor on the end of the fork that will be
used to measure the amount of nutrient levels in
foods. For the calculation of calories can be
displayed with the calculation speed manual feed.
Progress report on the results can be displayed
as well as information regarding the calculation of
the amount of food intake and nutritional ideal
user. So that users can maintain or improve their
eat rules.
Other innovations can be considered in the habit
of using cutlery. In Indonesia, for example, more
and more people are using the spoon when eating
compared with a fork. With this background
HAPILABS can create smart products that are
similar to health HAPIfork but in the form of a
spoon. The tools that will be named HAPIspoon
can weigh heavy amount of food in one scoop. If
the food is accommodated by the spoon too much,
then spoon will issue a vibration that indicates you
reduce the amount of food on the spoon.
