EVER dreamt of having a
constant stream of caffeine
filtering through your
bloodstream to get you through
the day?
Well, that’s pretty much what
the new Joule bracelet
is offering.
Why drink your coffee when you
can wear it instead?
Apparently, caffeine being fat
soluble means it can be absorbed
fairly easily through the skin.
Those behind the wrist band
say it’s the equivalent of about

A crowdfunding campaign was
launched in Feb and set a goal
of $US15,000 but that target has
been more than doubled.
A bracelet and month’s worth of
patches is $US29 - cheaper than
our current caffeine addiction.
PD recommends you seek
medical advice before using this

is about to launch a specially
designed double treadmill where
the users are angled toward each
other with a common desk-like

for computer data.

the marriage of physical and
mental exercise, others have
found it “difficult to concentrate”.
