When you run a hospital, you know that there are plenty of items to keep track of, ranging from the medicine at the dispensary, as well as the various equipment that lies throughout the building. Oh yeah, one very important thing that no one should overlook – hospitals come with beds, and with that, there are also plenty of linen to keep track of. This is a monumental task actually, and is there a better way of getting the job done to make sure that no one carts away with your linen? The answer could very well be in the affirmative, as there is a new scheme that will tag hospital linen electronically, allowing every item to be identified in theory.

Google was primarily known as a search company and to a certain extent that’s what they still do. However the company has expanded its products and services into other fields, not to mention the company also has a 
[CES 2014] Fitness products seem to be catching on these days, and some companies would definitely want to jump aboard the bandwagon so that they will not miss any opportunity should the gravy train pull ahead without them. Epson has looked into the world of fitness devices, where they have announced its Pulsense range of watches and wristbands for fitness, health, and wellness monitoring. The Pulsense would be worn on the wrist, where it can then monitor one’s heart rate, activity levels, calories burnt, and sleep patterns. This particular Pulsense product range will be Epson’s first smart wrist wearable devices, and Epson, a company that is more famous for its range of printers, has promised to make it distinct from competitors courtesy of their own patented unique biosensor technology.
[CES 2014] Wearable technology and connected objects is going to be the major trend at CES this year. All the conditions are set for the “perfect storm”: components are cheaper, more powerful and consume less energy than ever, a lot more people own a smartphone in 2013, software development costs have decreased (except for the engineer salaries in the US) and crowdfunding platforms such as Kickstarter have funded wearable concepts to a level never expected. I am thinking of Pebble ($10 M), Emotiv Insight ($1.6M), or Oculus Rift ($2M) for example. 
Our smartphones can perform many tasks these days, anywhere from tracking our running distance, speed, calories burnt, to detecting wind direction and more, so we guess it does not come as a complete surprise that our smartphones will also be able to check our cholesterol levels for us. This is achieved through an app and an additional smartphone accessory that the average person can use to check their cholesterol levels at home by themselves without having to make constant trips to the doctor which can get expensive, not to mention time consuming. Of course we expect that if anything is out of the ordinary, that’s when you should drop by the doctor’s, but for regular monitoring, this could do in a pinch.
For the first time in the world, scientists managed to string together all the amino-acid building blocks in erythropoietin, but it remains to be seen whether the scientific team managed to end up with a properly folded form. In plain English, red blood cell boosters have been synthesized for the first time in human history, being the hormone that is the main key when it comes to the creation of red blood cells from the most basic sum of its parts. Also known as EPO, this protein would arrive with an attached sugar, and in our bodies, it is naturally produced by the kidneys. Red blood cells are the ones that determine the level of oxygen that your blood is able to carry, while EPO also helps in the creation of hemoglobin.
