In Case of Death: A Digital Life Management System
A new product called In Case of Death serves as a unique digital life management system that interacts with a smart ring and an app. Designed by Zugu, this system monitors vital signs such as heart rate and body temperature to determine if the user has passed away, triggering specific 'death protections' previously set by the user. Options for these protections include erasing the device's data, deleting browser history, or even programming the device to play a loop of the Rick Astley video. Priced at $1,500, the product blends macabre humor with practicality in managing one's digital remnants after death.
