I don't need a damn Bluetooth pregnancy test
My first response when I heard about the First Response Bluetooth pregnancy test was this: Nope. Nope, nope and nope. Of all the things in my life that need to be "connected" or "have an app," a pregnancy test ranks dead last. Taking a home pregnancy test is one of the most private rituals that a woman of childbearing age can have. It is also one of the scariest and most heart-wrenching experiences a woman can go through. And to somehow turn it into a way to piggyback on the Internet of Things trend strikes me as terribly opportunistic and even a little insensitive.
You can now buy a Bluetooth pregnancy test
While I might not be in the target market for First Response's new Bluetooth-enabled Pregnancy Pro test, it's obvious that this new test ties right into the bigger connected health trend that we're seeing all over CES this year. The device, which will cost between $15 and $20 depending on where you buy it, looks like a traditional pregnancy test, but you won't see a plus or minus symbol on it.
