A top10 list of Digital Sensorlocked onto touch, sight, hearing, taste and smell. The smartphone will play an increasing important role in all of this as they go from having six built-in sensors currently to having sixteen in the next five years. If these predictions are correct then the next five years will be half-a-decade of sensor proliferation meaning the Digital Health Ecosystem will grow exponentially. In the meantime though there are already a plethora of digital health sensors in use or in the pipeline that are helping people improve and, in some instances, save lives.
TOP10 innovation list includes : SANO, ZEPHYR, CARDIIO, MC10, ALIVECOR, MEDSENSATION, FWS, WITHINGS, EQUIVITAL, SOMAXIS Delete the scoop?

The Masimo iSP02 is a consumer pulse oximeter which has been made for fitness enthusiasts and those working/training in high altitudes. On the iPad you can see the upper blood blood oxygenation reading, the middle pulse rate reading and the lower perfusion index reading. Priced at $249 it may be too steep for some users but for those that have dependancy on pulse oximeters it’s well worth the money. Delete the scoop?

Olivier Janin's insight:
via geekwire.com "Microsoft has significantly upgraded the sensing capabilities of the second-generation Kinect sensor that will ship with the newly announced Xbox One game console. One example: The Kinect can detect a user’s heart rate optically. The idea is to incorporate this functionality into exercise programs, as a start, but there are no doubt other applications, as well, and it’s also a sign of just how far the Kinect has come. The feature uses RGB and IR feeds to work." ****
Definitely not sure the HR detection is enough accurate to create and deliver Health Wellness related experiences which makes sense in term of Biofeedback.
The facial recognition feature can be engaging either : it compares the user face with pre-recorded emotional patterns. I am excited to test these features with the appropriate SDK to see how it could help to set emotional driven experience. Delete the scoop?

Virtually everyone has experienced the negative effects of a bad night's sleep: grogginess, crankiness, lack of focus and a host of other nasty feelings that hover over your body and mind the entire day.

What is interesting with such medical background compilation, is that it serves the promotion of Sleep trackers.

EPFL scientists have developed a tiny, portable personal blood testing laboratory: a minuscule device implanted just under the skin provides an immediate analysis of substances in the body, and a radio module transmits the results to a doctor over the cellular phone network. This feat of miniaturization has many potential applications, including monitoring patients undergoing chemotherapy.

he idea of having employees walk around with electronic sensors to track their every move is unsettling. There are privacy and legal issues, and who wants to feel like they are just a cog in a system? But data companies say that the resulting reams of information will improve life for companies and employees. Sociometric Solutions has created tracking devices for Bank of America, Steelcase, and Cubist Pharmaceuticals Inc., and is in talks with General Motors.

Amico is a stylish bracelet that brings social networks to life. It connects you to relevant people in real life without interfering with your normal behavior and maintaining the emotions of meeting a person for the first time. The product seems to be still in conception. No price yet.
If the intention is good, the product itself lacks entertaining features. Look at Nintendo 3DS and the Mii Collect application. It is so funny ! Just think how it could be if it would be linked to Social Networks. Delete the scoop?

Wearable technology is the next new wave of technology, and it’s bound to drive a lot of the innovation in the consumer electronics industry. We can expect to see a lot more watches, glasses, fitness gadgets, and wristbands in the years to come. But bear in mind that we’re in the “brick phone” phase, or version 1.0, of wearable tech.

I like the website said "But bear in mind that we’re in the “brick phone” phase, or version 1.0, of wearable tech", it is true that we just start wearable tech and we will creat more to make our life better such as mix wearable tech and cyborg, we might can hear more sounds like bat and dolphin, or see more colour in our world.
