As the coronavirus spreads, Catholics are turning to online spiritual practices, from masses live-streamed from the Vatican to a $110 wearable 'eRosary'
Like other wearables, such as smartwatches, the eRosary is meant to be worn on your wrist.
In addition to tracking prayers, it tracks health information.
The rosary works by connecting to an iPhone or Android app over Bluetooth.
The app is fairly intuitive and prompts you to connect and charge your device. The Vatican says that the device should be accessible to all ages.
To activate the device, perform the sign of the cross (as indicated in the image) with the eRosary.
Once activated, the app gives instructions to go through the rosary.
It also keeps track of your progress, showing how often you pray and for how long.
By prompting you to hold and move the device, the app mimics the experience of a traditional rosary.
The bracelet is part of the Vatican's "Click to Pray" family, an app where Pope Francis has a profile and lists his personal prayer intentions.
Within the app, you can see Pope Francis' prayer intentions, and pray for them yourself.
