To health! Wearable devices in sports and medicine
Among technological trends for 2014, in addition to smart watches and other things, an increase in the use of wearable devices in sports, health monitoring and medicine is distinguished. These devices help to count calories burned and force the host to move the fifth point in the direction of a better life, tell the doctor about increased sugar and pressure problems, and have other useful functions.
In the post - which devices we already have or will appear in the near future, divided by me into several categories.
If you have something to add to the publication, write about it in the comments and private messages - I will be very grateful!

Let's start with a useless concept: in 2007 a very well-known Power Balance bracelet appeared, interacting with the “natural energy field of man”. Only independent medical research did not reveal anything useful in it.
The Philips Bracelet for Emotional Control - The Rationalizer - appeared in 2009. Designed for traders - to monitor their condition and not make sharp gestures at the moment when the brain is clouded with emotions.
2013 - Nike + Fuelband SE. The bracelet considers the effort expended, recalls hourly the need to move, and supports Bluetooth 4.0 for connecting to computers and smartphones. By the way, he shows time.
2013 - Jawbone UP24 . Its uniqueness is sleep phase tracking with the function of a smart alarm clock: it will lift you exactly in the light sleep phase. If you follow the regime - it is an indispensable thing.
Oregon Scientific's smart device modifies and analyzes various aspects of physical condition and offers the best solution for reorganizing the owner’s lifestyle. Used with a smartphone on Android or iOS.
About this type of device, I recently wrote a detailed post on their history. Now consider what devices were created specifically for health and sport.
In 2008, Nike Amp + watches appeared, which periodically interrupt music while running and report time, distance covered, and calories burned.
2011 - fitness watch MOTOACTV. They are equipped with a 600 MHz processor, 256 memory, 8/16 GB of internal storage, ANT +, BT 4, WiFi b / g / n /, GPS. This watch is an independent device, which was originally created as an addition to the smartphone on the android. Designed for athletes.
Google Glass is no surprise, since they are no longer the only ones. Analysts foreshadow a great future for this type of gadgets in medicine - for example, they will allow the nurse to “better” find veins by displaying a system of veins and capillaries.
Seiko Epson introduced a competitor to Google Glass - Moverio BT-200 glasses. Their release is scheduled for March 2014, pre-order is possible at a price of $ 699. Manufacturers are counting on the success of the device in the gaming industry and in medicine.
In 2004, Nike and Apple teamed up to create a sensor for runners: the Wi-Fi module could transfer basic data about the athlete's location to the trainer's computer. A little later, the Nike kit for iPod sensor appeared: it consists of a motion sensor, an iPod receiver and special sneakers. Allows you to share the results, organize training according to an individual plan.
In X, Google is developing a lens that will measure glucose . A useful thing for people with diabetes is that they do not have to pierce their finger all the time.
At CES 2014, Intel introduced headphones with a built-in heart rate monitor. They can choose music tracks depending on the heart rate of the owner. You can set a target heart rate for training - then they will pick up the right music.
Pedometers grew up, they grew up Bluetooth (it's better with Bluetooth!), They learned how to count not only steps, but also calories and began to show results on the smartphone screen. In the photo - Shine fitness button.
Scanadu Scout is one of the devices expected in 2014. By applying a miniature sensor to different parts of the body, you can find out about yourself almost everything you need to do sports and monitor your health: pulse, temperature, oxygen level in blood, pressure, respiration rate, ECG and level of emotional stress. Instead of the required $ 100,000, the project has already collected 1.6 million at indiegogo.com - so deliveries should begin in March.
And this TellSpec laser scanner will tell you what your food consists of. Direct it to the dish, and it will give you a list of ingredients that you will see in the app on your smartphone. When you open any ingredient application will give information about it. The product has already collected more than 380 thousand dollars at Indiegogo .
