==== ""CardioSign & MIT"": Wearable blood pressure sensor offers 24/7 continuous monitoring====
Blood pressure can change from minute to minute, so continuous monitoring offers a much broader picture of cardiovascular health. The new monitor, which loops around the wrist and the index finger, is just as accurate as traditional cuff devices but much less cumbersome, allowing it to be worn for hours or days at a time.
==== ""FitBit"": Self Surveillance: A new device tracks activity and sleep patterns 24-7====
The simple pedometer has been given a makeover. Fitbit, a startup based in San Francisco, has built a small, unobtrusive sensor that tracks a person's movement 24 hours a day to produce a record of her steps taken, her calories burned, and even the quality of her sleep. Data is wirelessly uploaded to the Web so that users can monitor their activity and compare it with that of their friends.
==== ""Toumaz"": Continuous Monitoring Of The Human Body:====
The Toumaz system, called Sensium, provides ultra low power monitoring of ECG, temperature, blood glucose and oxygen levels. It can also interface to 3 axis accelerometers, pressure sensors and includes a temperature sensor on chip.
Based on Toumaz's patented ultra-low power Advanced Mixed Signal (AMx) technology, the Sensium provides the enabling technology to connect the mobile individual to healthcare providers - simply, affordably and unobtrusively.
==== ""BodyMedia"": How Accurate Are Devices That Track Calories Used? ====
Activity monitors using accelerometers can aid in weight control by estimating the calories you expend during the day. Scientists say that the gadgets can be good motivators, but that you shouldn't count on them for an accurate estimate of daily calorie burn. However one device the "GoWear", based on the SenseWear technology from is an armband that detects not just motion but also skin temperature, heat flux, or the amount of heat leaving the body, and galvanic skin response -- a measure of electrical conductivity that changes when you sweat. The information is fed into mathematical equations programmed into the device and aimed at estimating your total daily calorie burn.
==== ""Nestle HealthCare Nutrition"": Weight Loss Management====
BodyMedia has teamed to promote SenseWear WMS to clinics using Nestle's medically monitored weight loss program (OPTIFASTS). SenseWear WMS consists of an armband, display and Web site that allow both professional and patient to see how many calories they really burn, how many they really consume and how well they really sleep, buy every day. The solution promotes patient self-care and enables practitioners to offer short-term metabolic and lifestyle assessments as well as more effective and educational weight-management programs.
==== ""PhiloMetron"": When Your Diet Needs a Band-Aid====
It could be a dieter's best friend or worst nightmare: the calorie monitor, which is being developed by biotech incubator uses a combination of sensors, electrodes, and accelerometers that--together with a unique algorithm--measure the number of calories eaten, the number of calories burned, and the net gain or loss over a 24-hour period. The patch sends this data via a Bluetooth wireless connection to a dieter's cell phone from where an application tracks the totals and provides support.
