It's All in the WristClinic

Filed under: Diagnostics

If you think knowing your vital signs at all times is, well, vital, here's the product for you: The WristClinic measures, records, and displays your vitals, and even acts as a one-lead EKG (we think it also tells time):

Guided by a large icon-driven LCD menu, the patient activates WristClinic™ at pre-set times. Vital signs are measured, and data are transmitted wirelessly to MedicGate™ or MiniGate™ which forward the data by telephone or Internet to a telemedicine call centre or to an automated, web databank where the patient's medical record is accessible via e-mail, fax or personal computer. Optionally, measurements can be taken continuously and recorded on a continuous loop system. If transmission is disrupted, WristClinic™ will store up to 10 readings for transmission at a later time.

We're impressed with this wrist-top technology, of course, but even more struck by the fact that there's a blog about wrist-top technology.
