For frequent travelers, jet lag is the enemy and The International Air Transport Association (IATA) has reportedly found a cure - a mobile application.
Digital Trends said IATA has recently introduced SkyZen, an application that is said the "lessen the effects of jet lag" and improve the health of airline travelers marred by frequent jet lags.
"SkyZen is a new mobile app for passengers to monitor their health and well-being before, during and after a flight," the IATA official website said. "Helpful hints will enable users to improve their travel experience and combat jet lag when crossing time zones."
So how does this jet lag application work?
Jet lag app SkyZen works the Jawbone health tracker. The website said users who have the Jawbone tracker will only have to input their flight number, date and class of travel, and the jet lag app with collect data that will be helpful to fight the stress.
The jet lag app reportedly reads the sleeping patterns and provides information on what food to take and not to take.
"Using the data collected, SkyZen will offer passengers personalized insights on their flight activity, and strategies to minimize jet lag before and after the flight," the website said. It also reportedly provides feedback on how to overcome the fatigue that goes with a long flight schedule or sleeping habit disturbances.
But is it really working?
According to a report by CNN, IATA's Senior Vice President Tom Windmuller believes so, saying that his organization has the skills to create a "global cure."
However, the report also said users have not yet provided substantial reviews yet on the Apple jet lag app store to gauge whether SkyZen provides a functional alternative to anti-jet lag pills.
The app is now available for free through the Apple iTunes store, while there is no information yet for an Android version, the report added.
