Zume Life offers a simple, small, handheld device ("Zuri") to get reminders for and to record health activities: medications, diet, exercise, health metrics and symptoms. A companion Web page shows graphs and tables of the user's health activities. With the user's permission, various caregivers, such as family, friends, coaches and health professionals, can also access this Web site and track the user's health. Most importantly, with life being so busy and stressful as it is, these solutions allow users to keep life in order in an unintrusive way.

So, if you imagine yourself in one of the pictures above, head on to Zume Life's Beta Program application page.

The kit is separated into individually labeled and color-coded injury packs so the user has all the supplies and easy to follow instructions for managing a specific injury. The audio module in each injury card takes the technology a step further. By the squeeze of a button, the module narrates step-by-step instructions to manage the injury, pausing and repeating when necessary for accurate response.

By combining the necessary supplies with the new audio technology, the IntelligentFirstAid Kits are the most dependable tool for providing rapid and accurate first aid guidance in the event of an injury.

This pocketsize disinfecting light kills up to 99.99% of infectious bacteria and viruses on all kinds of surfaces — not just hard, nonporous surfaces; it is safe and effective on fabric, leather, unpainted wood, too. Unlike disinfecting wet wipes, with UV light you don't have to wait almost five minutes for it to work and to dry. Instead, a quick 10-second scan is all it takes to destroy staph, salmonella, E.coli, flu viruses and more on keyboards, mice, phones, doorknobs, counters, pens, even a piano!

From Tech-On, a Nikkei Business Publication:

The UG-201 employs a biosensor based on the enzyme electrode method. It can be carried around with the sensor unit immersed in the preservation solution contained in a cap. The cap is removed before use, and urine is directly poured on the sensor unit. The cap is placed in the hole formed in the main unit cover so that the solution will not spill out of the cap. The measurement completes in about six seconds.

After use, the sensor unit is washed with water, and then the cap is attached to put the sensor unit in the solution. The sensor unit can be folded away. The measurement range of urine sugar level is 0-2000mg per deciliter. The urine sugar level is indicated in increments of 10mg/dL at minimum (100mg/dL in high concentration range).

After the measurement, an interval of about three minutes is required before the next use. The sensor must be calibrated with the use of reference solution about once a week.

Here's what one person at Yanko Design, an excellent design blog, tells Medgadget:

As we know, blind ... can’t see any thing including colors . Though they can feel the shape and material of the object by their fingers, they still can’t feel the color of it by this way. But can’t see the colors doesn’t mean that they don’t need to distinguish them. There are many problems about colors in their daily lives. For example, their clothings always dye each other when they wash them together by washer. Also, blind people like to have beautiful shapes just like common people, but they are always vexed at dressing because of the problem of color assortment. So, the Bright-F is designed to solve these problems. It can help the blind man to distinguish the colors with a in-build color identification system and then tell them through a audio set. Bright-F has a program of practical teaching about colors which can help the blind to know the action of the colors, such as the way of composing garments of different colors, how to avoid clothing dyeing, and how the colors influent people’s motions. Flashlight can bring bright to most people in the dark except the blind people. However, the shape of Bright-F, which comes from the flashlight, can bring the brightness in colors to the blind .By touching the flashlight-like outside of this design, the blind people can easily associate the function of it. This can bring them more confidence about life.
