Pumaphone Helps Track Your Exercise Routine

Puma, a sports fashion firm, and Sagem, a telecommunications company, have partnered to create the Pumaphone, a mobile cellular device designed for fitness enthusiasts. Though it's not a smart phone, and has a solar panel of questionable value, it does offer useful features that should be helpful for biking and running:

    Power Free Humidifier Hopes to be Your Next Eco Friendly Model


    The Japanese have a reputation of being forward looking with regards to technology, but once in a while we see them reaching back to develop a new product. The Mast Humidifier is one such item that promises to humidify your indoor air without using any electricity. It uses natural evaporation through sheets of Japanese Cyprus, which sounds well and good, but how effective is capillary action when it is compared to a modern ultrasonic humidifier?

    Designer Appliance Line for The Disabled


    Designers have put a lot of effort into improving the ergonomics of modern home appliances, which means that everything was adjusted to be comfortably used by a standing adult. Designer Hideki Kawata has put thought into what an ideal stove, dishwasher, and refrigerator would look like for a wheelchair bound person. The goal is a great idea, but the refrigerator's top shelves still seem too tall to be reachable without assistance.

    Personal Actigraphy for a Better Night's Sleep


    As our editors can attest, having the beeper go off during deep sleep while on call is an unpleasant experience. Alarm clocks in general are insensitive to our sleep cycles. The WakeMate from Perfect Third, Inc. is a new device that attempts to sound reveille just when you're most conscious. Essentially, it's a wrist-worn accelerometer that measures how much you're moving, and it sends the data to a cell phone. You set a 20 minute time frame when you'd like to wake up, and the device triggers the alarm within that period when it detects significant movement. Though the WakeMate supposedly works with all kinds of cell phones, it comes with an iPhone app that can provide sleep analysis to give you a better idea for what you do during all those unconscious hours.

    From the product page:

  • Problem: Traditional alarm clocks wake you at a random point in your sleep cycle, leaving you feeling groggy.
  • Solution: The WakeMate will analyze your sleep to find the optimal time for you to wake up. You will feel refreshed and energized every time you wake, even from naps!
  • Problem: After sleeping, you may still feel tired - you're getting poor quality sleep without realizing why.
  • Solution: View a full analysis of your sleep on our Analytics Platform. You will receive personalized instructions on how to improve your sleep so you can have your best night's sleep, every night.

    21st Century Innovation: Disaster Ready Baby Carriage


    Earlier this year Samsonite invited designers to develop products that would make it easier for people to travel with their babies. One submission came from Iranian designer Pouyan Mokhtarani who suggested a pod that can be used for casual travel or even during disaster scenarios. His proposal would include air purification, automatic sequestration of liquid and solid waste produced by the child, and a high strength safety features to protect the precious cargo within.

    Here's a bit more from the designer via Yanko Design:

    There is a bit of a misunderstanding in that this is not a device for growing children during their whole life, it is just a device which can provide a safe and healthy condition during 2 or 3 hours while you can`t change your baby or staying in some poor facilities or places during a trip or airport.

    Also, this hard case is equipped with removable door; it is usable without any door like other normal baby carriages. Using the door is just recommended in disaster conditions or air pollution or chemical pollution or some other bad condition for the baby's health.

    New Intel Device Helps Overcome Problems With Reading, Learning


    Intel has released a new gadget for people with vision problems, autism, dyslexia, and other conditions that can make reading difficult. With the Intel Reader you can take pictures of book pages, letters, and product labels and the device will read out the text back while showing magnified print on the screen. While designed to be used by people with certain disabilities, we can also see using this device to learn how to read a new language.

    The Intel Reader, about the size of a paperback book, converts printed text to digital text, and then reads it aloud to the user. Its unique design combines a high-resolution camera with the power of an Intel® Atom™ processor, allowing users to point, shoot and listen to printed text.

    When the Intel Reader is used together with the Intel® Portable Capture Station, large amounts of text, such as a chapter or an entire book, can be easily captured for reading later. Users will have convenient and flexible access to a variety of printed materials, helping to not only increase their freedom, but improve their productivity and efficiency at school, work and home. The Intel Reader has been endorsed by the International Dyslexia Association as an important advance in assistive technology. Additionally, Intel is working with the Association of Assistive Technology Act Programs, the Council for Exceptional Children, Lighthouse International, the National Center for Learning Disabilities and the National Federation of the Blind to help reach and address the needs of people who have difficulty reading print.

    A New Design for a High Tech Rescue Buoy


    Not a medical device per se, but... Designers Sheng Zhe Feng and Yu Chi Huang are suggesting a new type of flotation device that would pack multiple technologies like salt water activated heating, GPS, and storage compartments for food and other items. Let's hope that the flotation qualities of the rescue ring are not diminished by all the gear on board.

    LipGloss Detects Date Rape Drugs in a Drink


    Il Palazzo, a Liverpool, England company, has released a line of lip gloss that features litmus test-like strips in the package to detect drinks spiked with gamma-hydroxybutyric acid or ketamine. The firm believes that the inconspicuous package will help women to check discreetly their drinks for "date rape" drugs.

    Dazor Introduces speckFINDER HD Compact Tabletop Digital Microscope


    Dazor Manufacturing Corp., a St. Louis, MO company, has announced the release of a new optical digital microscope, the speckFINDER HD®. While specifically not being marketed as a medical device, the microscope could be used for biological research, microphotography, and other bio applications. The company specifically touts the microscope's ergonomics designed "to reduce the stress placed upon the body."

    speckFINDER HD® technology completely integrates the technologies of high quality optics, digital cameras, LED lighting, glass displays, personal computing electronics, and mechanics, to produce a workstation- friendly computer video microscope. Unlike conventional microscopes or stereoscopes with which a user must conform their body to a machine, speckFINDER HD® technology allows the user to obtain a comfortable posture and then adjust the machine to their individual comfort needs. Single or multiple workers can view magnified images simultaneously and effortlessly.

    Because speckFINDER HD® combines multiple optical and digital technologies, images can also be stored in multiple digital formats, networked, and software enhanced as needed. Measurement, drawing, call-outs, and overlays are all conveniently available within speckFINDER HD®’s standard technology package. Live or stored speckFINDER HD® images can be viewed on another display or projected onto an overhead screen for training, instructing, or supervising.

    Fitbit Tracks Your Movement Day and Night


    Fitbit, a small device designed to track your every physical move, is now for sale after a year of hype and development. Fitbit clips onto your clothing and, using a 3D motion sensor, passively tracks how many calories you burn, your patterns of physical activity, and even how much sleep you get at night. Every time you're in range of the Fitbit base station, it automatically uploads your data and syncs with your computer. The idea is that you can then log in to Fitbit.com to monitor your data, set activity goals, input food intake, look at your activity trends over time, etc. The battery in Fitbit lasts ten days between charges so you can pretty much keep Fitbit by your side at all times.

    Head to the Fitbit blog for more details about the product development, manufacturing, and even an explanation about how the algorithms work that track your movement...

    Nagging Wireless Pillbox Makes Sure You Take Your Pills

    MedMinder Systems out of Newton, Massachusetts has developed a smart pillbox for people who take multiple medications and have a difficult regiment they have to stick to. The Maya pillbox is wirelessly programmed by the user or caretaker for four weeks in advance and can progressively become more persistent at getting the patient to take the pills on time. When time comes to take pills in a specific cup, it lights up prompting compliance from the patient. If the correct cup is not accessed in a few minutes, the unit begins to beep and later sends text messages, makes phone calls, and writes emails to the patient and caretakers if the regiment is not being followed.

    Here's Eran Shavelsky, founder of MedMinder demoing the Maya pill compliance system for the Boston Globe:

    DIY At-Home ECG System Built On The Cheap

    Scott Harden, at The Blogging Rotagonist, has tinkered together a dual lead ECG system using a basic PC computer and its sound card as the signal processing system and one cent pennies as the leads. All the minutia of the project is amply documented on his blog for anyone wishing to put together an ECG system.

    Although several DIY ECG guides exist on the internet, this one focuses on minimizing the part count and cost by performing noise reduction (normally handled by complicated analog circuitry) digitally with your computer. The device hooks up to your chest (using pennies as electrodes) and outputs to the microphone jack of your computer sound card so it can be recorded with free audio software. In addition to a description of how to build and use the DIY ECG, this guide also provides the code needed to perform complicated long-term heart rate and heart rate variability analysis to assess neurological control over cardiac function!

    Here's an overview of the system:

    Internet Connected Bottle Caps Help Remember to Take Your Pills

    GlowCap, a product of Vitality out of Cambridge, MA, is a bottle cap that reminds patients to take their meds on a regular schedule. We covered the devices in the past (see flashbacks below), but now the firm has released a version of the GlowCaps that use a wireless microchip to communicate with a computer connected device to program the drug regiment.

    Product features:

    The GlowCap™ is an Internet-connected medication adherence product that helps remind you to take your once-a-day medication or vitamin. It pulses orange when it is time to take your pills, then plays a melody to get your attention if you have not taken your medication within an hour.

    The GlowCap comes with a wireless night light that plugs into a kitchen or bathroom outlet and glows a calm blue. The night light pulses orange when it is time to take your pill.

    The GlowCap also includes a home health gateway that requires a broadband Internet connection.

    To get started, fill up your GlowCap with your pills, plug in the night light in a visible outlet and plug in the home health gateway.

    Each week you will receive an email progress report. Contact Vitality to set or change your dose time.

    NUVADERM Liquid Bandage For Scratches, Burns, Bruises Gets 510(k)

    Watch out Dermabond! The FDA has given approval to Chesson Labs out of Durham, NC for company's NUVADERM™ liquid bandage. The product, approved for marketing to healthcare professionals and directly to consumers, is either sprayed or brushed on to "to cover intact skin and minor cuts, scrapes, burns or irritations of the skin, to help keep them clean and dry and help protect them from infection." The non-toxic material keeps moisture and dirt from penetrating the applied film layer while allowing oxygen to reach the wound site.

    Some technical details of the NUVADERM:

    NUVADERM is a single component, poly(urea-urethane) liquid emulsion polymer that is composed of large, highly complex molecules that incorporate a broad range and distribution of hard and soft segments. The different segments are tied together with urea and urethane linkages that are formed during synthesis. NUVADERM is applied topically to form a non-toxic, hydrophobic, elastomeric coating that provides a barrier against moisture but that is permeable to oxygen. NUVADERM requires no initiator or catalyst and therefore no mixing steps. It remains liquid until released into the air and therefore is applied by spraying or with an applicator brush.
