technology at the service of science and medicine: at CES 2014 we found each year as many applications in the medical field and in the field of personal health. Here are the most interesting ideas.
Hollywog relieves back pain
Eliminate back pain is possible with Hollywog, an emitter of microdischarges to be placed in the lumbar area that, by acting on the nervous system, stops for a few hours the transmission of pain relieving suffering. No cure, though: only the effects disappear, but not the causes.

Lumoback corrects posture while walking
Lumoback is the product of a startup American made for improving your posture during walking: a sensor analyzes the data and reports, with a vibration, what does not work. The new version presented in Las Vegas is based on a small sensor to be attached to the shirt, which is useful not only for analysis but also for exercise to correct the problems. The check, of course, is via smartphone or tablet.

Muse measure brain waves

Among the most special visas at CES 2014 is certainly one of InteraXon, Muse. It is a lightweight headband which integrates wearable sensors 7 EEG reading our brainwaves. The purpose of this device would be to learn to control our mind comoscere fatigue and concentration, with a set of special app that can analyze data and propose dell’encefalogramma exercises to relax and relieve stress. How fashion dictates, Muse is naturally connected to smartphones and tablets. The device is also open to third-party developers will be able to achieve that in the future other applications that take advantage of the data collected by the Muses.
The patch Metria H1, super-sensor disposable
The sensors can help us in our search for the most physical and mental wellbeing, but quite often the limit is the interpretation of the data, which – many say – it can not be done reliably by an application. For this reason it was thought Metria H1, a sensor encapsulated in a patch capable of measuring all the data of movement of the person, cattuando data related to lifestyle, and this for a week. Then you use patches from the doctor who, analyzing the data, it can not give medical advice concrete and simple indications of good sense. The cost of the patch sensor will be about $ 35, a figure consistent with how much disposable product designed for the

iHealth, many ideas for health
iHealth continues the process started for a couple of seasons to join the health monitoring with portable devices, typically Apple. After making the blood pressure, blood sugar and that of the instantaneous pulse oximeter, now iHealth has introduced at CES in most other prototypes destined to health facilities or the chronically ill.

A first interesting object is a monitor oxygen saturation in the blood: the system compne a bracelet with the electronics and the probe to keep the finger. The idea is not that of an instantaneous measurement but a monitoring for different time. Very useful tool for patients who require continuous monitoring and that, outside the home, do not want to take the more bulky and awkward portable monitors.

Here is a “vest” to undergo Holter pressure: the control system (with battery) that fits into the pocket communicates via Bluetooth with your smartphone to which it transfers all the data, which in turn can be sent electronically to the structure health.

by iHealth always a small device that looks like a telephone handset, for tele-rapid diagnosis of arrhythmias: just place it on his bare chest for an electrocardiogram simple smartphone to send to the doctor, so that get quick tips.
Withings Aura, the alarm “soft”
Check
noise and bright and the quality and duration of sleep of their “master”, then set the alarm time around “softly” with sounds, music and colorful lights. All this also based on the sensor mat that is placed under the sheets. An app Allows to setting up the system and statistical information on the hours you sleep and quality of sleep.

The balance InBody Dial reads our body
src=”http://www.dday.it/userFiles/FCK/articles/11673/inbody%20dial.jpg” class=”c18″
Korean Biospace led at CES InBody the new scale that goes above and beyond to measure our weight. Thanks to the conductors placed on the scale and on the handlebar grips built into the base, InSpace makes an analysis of the distribution of body fat and muscle in our body. The data are collected from an app that allows us to know where exactly so take action to improve our physical fitness.

The data is displayed for the legs, arms, torso, abdominal area and you can have a record of the measurements. The app for smartphones and tablets also offers interpretations of the data with benchmarks and eventually allows you to have the advice of an expert.
Sleep iQ monitors your activities in bed

The quality of sleep determines in a clear manner the well-being of the day. Knowing your sleep and improve it is so important a goal. For this SleepIQ born, a bed equipped with sensors that monitor the type of sleep and tracks in this way does not need the user to wear bracelets or several sensors: the bed is to control everything and give a nice report on the morning after . Nice, but slightly invasive last bastion of privacy, the nuptial bed …

Tinke, monitors vital signs with your smartphone

Tinke is a range of accessories to connect to Android and iOS that allows you to analyze some important vital signs. Thanks to the optical sensors, Tinke analyzes with a simple push of the thumb respiratory rate, level of oxygenation of the blood, heart rate and its variation. Everything is done with a simple app for smartphones, which also incorporates an algorithm according to the manufacturer determines the proper degree of stress or relaxation.
With the sensor Omron best posture
For the time will come only in Japan, but it is a produttino certainly interesting enough to engage the sensor Omron his belt in the back. After a long walk, the sensor will have analyzed the frequency, vibration and acceleration and – according to ingegreri Japanese – the system will be able to tell us what our posture is wrong or simply inelegant, thus giving us instructions to improve. Obviously, with subsequent measurements, it will be possible to verify the improvements.

Mime, and the baby is under control
Mino is a monitoring system for babies based on the Intel platform Quark (the same at the base of micoPC Edison). The advantage is that the system is integrated in clothing (the classic body) of the small, with a small unit in the form of a turtle washable and removable in order to be moved from a Vestino another. The micro invasive and detects an app on your smartphone to many parameters, such as temperature of the room and the baby, baby’s breath, stages of sleep and wakefulness and location. It also integrates well with a micorfono which detects and raises the smartphone environmental sounds, working so well with baby montior. For security reasons, the little turtle that collects all data in Bluetooth communicates with a low-power base station, which then raises the data to your smartphone via Wi-Fi or Internet. The starting package costs $ 199 and includes three bodysuits, a processor-turtle and a base station.

Ekoscope, much more than a stethoscope
Ekoscope and looks like a stethoscope a little ‘more digital than normal. And it actually works like a stethoscope, obviously digital, but also as an electrocardiograph or ultrasound of the fetal heartbeat detector. There are indeed a number of transducers and accessories that go to sostuire earphones stetoscopici to enable the instrument to other medical uses; everything else to the central unit with display in fact a true portable microcomputer.
