GoogleX – Now Keeping a Watchful EYE on your Glucose Levels

140117073634-google-contact-lens-620xa

The statistics are staggering, The International Diabetes Federation estimates that at least 382 million people worldwide are living with diabetes right now, and unfortunately, that number is likely to increase to around 592 million sometime in the next 20 years. Thats a lot of blood sugar monitoring, which involves painful and time consuming finger sticks…

Now GoogleX developers (think driverless cars and Google Glass) just announced on January 16, 2014,  a new product with the goal of allowing diabetics to continually check their glucose levels using a novel, non-intrusive method, the Google Contact Lens.

The contact lens uses a tiny processing chip and a specialized glucose sensor, in conjunction with an antenna that is actually thinner than a human hair. When this contact is worn, the sensor detects glucose levels in the wearer’s tears, taking readings once per second, with the transmitter sending these readings to an external device. Imagine, constant feedback on your glucose levels, no pokes required.

We have reported on the ability to monitor sugar levels with tears, but this GoogleX technology takes the idea to a whole new level. Google reports that they’re in discussions with the FDA, but that there’s still a lot of work to be done before they can turn this technology into a system that people can use. Early estimates seem to suggest it could be as long as 10 years, but I wonder if the sheer power of Google might muscle things along a bit faster than that. We can hope, can’t we?

Biofeedback Respiratory Strength Trainer helps prop up your breathing ability

biofeedback-respiratorIf you find that you need some help in strengthening your respiratory system while building up endurance for improved workouts as well as athletic performance, then you would not go wrong with the $99.95 Biofeedback Respiratory Strength Trainer. This particular device would definitely come in handy, especially when it is in endurance mode, making it the ideal tool if you are training for an event like a marathon, or happen to be involved in long-distance walks. Exercisers will have to manually make a selection from a certain difficulty level, while inhaling or exhaling as long as possible in the process of strengthening their respiratory strength.

The unit itself is capable of registering the force of the breath, where it will then track the number of seconds which the exerciser has met or surpassed the target volume. When in strength mode, it was designed to train the body to deliver quick bursts of activity, allowing breathers to exhale or inhale forcefully so that they are able to achieve their target air volume within a couple of seconds. The LCD display will depict the number of screens which will be able to show just how long an endurance exercise would have lasted, in addition to the amount of effort exerted thanks to a 1-7 scale. This would allow users to easily set new performance goals and monitor progress. There will be five attachments thrown into the mix that provides different levels of airflow restriction, so that you can progressively increase the level of workout difficulty. Thank to its internal memory, it can store scores of the previous 30 exercises, showing off daily, weekly, or monthly scores, and averages results when it comes to inhaling and exhaling in endurance or strength modes.
