The place where technological advances matter the most is medicine, and in fact, it’s probably
the first place you will see applications of the newest technology in the world at any time. Of
course, it’s only natural that technology should help human beings have a better life and benef
from the best possible medical care available. And here is where technology comes in.

Top 10 Medical Gadgets

Machines that analyze or come in our aid when we need them, machines that shorten the
duration of medical procedures and reduce the risks involved. We call them medical gadgets,
but in fact, they are lifesavers.

7/6/2018 Top 10 Medical Gadgets

If you’ve ever had blood tests, you know that sometimes it’s really hard finding a vein. But
imagine if the doctor wants to scan more of your veins to see clumps or other problems? That
could be really difficult to do. But with the lightweight AV300 Vein Viewer, it could become just
a walk in the park. You could carry this gadget anywhere with you thanks to its light weight, no
need for a charging cord and its low profile. Also, it eliminates the need for sterilization, becaus
it does not come into contact with the patient and with the hands free accessory, doctors can
monitor a patient with only a gaze. Awesome medical gadgets for starters!

9. Zeo Sleep Manager

Sleep is one of the most important processes in our lives. As a matter of fact, we sleep ⅓ of ou
entire lives, but still, we don’t know much about this process. Sleep is vital to normal
functioning in every life form, without it, we die. And the quality of our sleep sets the mood for
our entire day. And so, you can understand how important it is. And that is where Zeo Sleep

7/6/2018 Top 10 Medical Gadgets

Manager steps in.

It can provide us with vital information about our sleep patterns; how much time we spend in
each sleep phase (Light sleep, REM – or Rapid Eye Movement, where we actually dream, and
Deep sleep) and make a graph of our sleep patterns. It can wake us at the optimal time in our
sleep cycle, using a innovative technology called SmartWake and many more. A great
companion and medical gadget to make our lives more pleasant and our nights more peaceful.

8. BodyMedia FIT Armbands

If you ever wondered just how much calories you burn in a day, or how much your walk to the
office helps you stay in shape, then the BodyMedia Armbands will be something that you only
dreamed about. State of the art sensors pick up even the tiniest detail and can send it to your
smartphone for a complete graph of your calorie burn over the day. A great tool to have if you
are preparing to take a diet. You will end up running in the park to beat yet another record…

7. Panasonic R1-W

Panasonic truly has “Ideas for Life”, for example, the R1-W Hearing aid. This top of the line
hearing aid has so much tech that it can run circles around its predecessors. The R1-W brings
to the table a host of new features, amazing sound quality and a great and stylish design, but
with a user friendly interface.  A great medical gadget for those that have problems with their
hearing.

“

while in the dehumidifier and batteries can last up to 300 hours
Voice memo recording option with Bluetooth Interface and microphone input

6. Lifecomm Mobile Personal Emergency Response System

http://techpp.com/2012/03/26/top-medical-gadgets/ 4/13
7/6/2018 Top 10 Medical Gadgets

All around the world, hundreds of people die every day because of the late intervention of
medical staff. Be it someone alone in their house with no means to call emergency services, or
on the street where no one is around. It is a sad truth and something that can happen to
anyone. Lifecomm MPERS (Mobile Personal Emergency System) could change all of that. It
consists of a cellular transmitter that you can carry around you all the time, small, easy to use
and non-intrusive. The MPERS is in fact a “panic button” that you can carry around you in 3
forms: a watch, a pendant or a belt clip, all very small and stylish. It has an impressive array of
features that give you, most of all, peace of mind:

“
Automatic Fall Detection – Device sensors can detect an accidental fall and automatically
connect the User to an Emergency Response Specialist.
Cellular Communications and GPS – The MPERS solution merges GPS technology with
comprehensive wireless coverage, enabling the device to operate anywhere in or out of the
home.
Expert Emergency Response Specialists – Users have one-button access to industry-
leading emergency support services, ensuring proper aid is quickly received – 24/7/365.
Arrival/Departure Alerts – Using Customized Web Applications, the Caregiver can create up
to ten location zones with the option to receive alerts whenever the User enters or departs
a defined area.
Activity Overview – The User and Caregiver can monitor the “Number of Steps Taken” and
“General Activity Levels” each day or for the past 30 days.
Find My Device – The User and Caregiver can receive help locating a misplaced device by
using the Find My Device feature or by calling a Customer Care Specialist.

5. EarlySense Proactive Patient Care

http://techpp.com/2012/03/26/top-medical-gadgets/ 5/13
7/6/2018 Top 10 Medical Gadgets

A dream came true for doctors and nurses all over the world. The EarlySense Proactive is a
system that allows medical staff to fully observe a patient’s vital signs without the need to be
in the same room. The medical staff can monitor a patient’s heart rate, respiratory rate,
movement and many more.The quick transfer of information and the ability to observe multiple
patients at the same time have a great impact for hospitals and nursing homes, reducing the
time between an accident and the response from the medical staff. This technology has the
potential to save lives all over the world, and I would love to see them installed in every hospita
in the world. A medical gadget that has potential to be used for individuals and hospitals all
over the world.

4. Xtensor

From an exercise tool to a medical gadget that helps you rebuild thickened tendons, the Xtenso
is a great tool for people who do repetitive motions, such as typing or guitar playing. These
repetitive motions thicken the tendons in the arm and makes your muscles stiff. Xtensor
maximizes blood flow to these areas and regenerates the tendons to make them slick and
flexible. As we grow older, the same damage to our muscles and tendons appears, and Xtensor
can prove useful even in these situations. Making pur grip stronger than ever and out hands
more flexible. One medical gadget ready to save your tendons.

3. Didrick X-Finger

A great advancement in prosthetic limbs comes in the form of the Didrick X-Finger. The X-finge
is a prosthetic finger that can operate just like a normal finger, offering finger amputees a
chance of having a normal life again. Didrick can produce custom fingers, but their ultimate goa
is to allow its users to regain “complete control of the flexion and extension movements”. The
X-finger is self-contained device and due to its silicone base, it imitates the natural movement
of the finger with stunning accuracy.

natural movement of the hand and allows its user to do just about anything they could have
done with their natural hand. It comes in different designs, from full hands to 4 finger designs.

many fields. The headset has a unique human – computer interface that allows its user to

seeing how technology is advancing, the future seems more bright and healthy.

I often wonder, where is technology heading? What do all of these advances mean for us and for our future? I
sometimes miss the days when I didn’t know how to use a floppy disk, or how a computer CPU works, but
now, until I find an answer to my questions, I’ll keep tracking these advances and show everything I find to
those who share my interests.
