My Halo

MyHalo is a lightweight, waterproof pendant with auto fall detect that will trigger an emergency call on a MobileHelp mobile device or home base station in the event of a fall. The user wears a comfortable, waterproof device which contains tiny sensors capable of measuring user orientation and three-dimensional motion. If the user falls and is incapacitated, immobilized or unconscious, the pendant will detect the sudden fall and send a signal to MobileHelp’s emergency response center. Even if the user cannot speak, the operator will be able to dispatch help.

The Proteus digestible microchips are made of trace amounts of silicon, magnesium, and copper. When you swallow one, the acid in your stomach causes the microchip to generate a tiny little voltage signal that's detectable using a skin patch. The patch sends a confirmation message to your phone, which routes it to your doctor, who then knows that you've just taken your meds.

Meanwhile, after a few minutes the microchip harmlessly dissolves and you get some extra minerals in your diet.

HAPIfork

• From Hong Kong-based HAPILabs, the HAPIfork is a fork with embedded sensors and a Bluetooth transmitter. The fork “knows” when you’re eating too fast, and vibrates to alert you, as well as sending notifications to a companion app. The theory is that if you eat too fast, it takes longer to realize you’re full, so you might eat too much.
