Bionim has developed a new wristband named Nimy that monitors the wearer’s pulse and detects its unique pattern in order to unlock phones, computers and other nearby devices that belong to the user. Though it looks like some of the fitness trackers we’ve seen in the last few years, the Nymi seems to be intended strictly for security purposes without offering any health related functions.

The Nymi is now available to preorder for $79 a pop.Friday, March 28, 2014
