New thermometer line ready to see action


American Scientific Resources, better known as ASR for short, has just announced that they will be rolling out a new range of affordable yet revolutionary, 5-in-1 non-contact thermometers that were specially designed to meet the needs of consumers and healthcare workers globally. Instead of the usual glass-and-mercury combination, these new non-contact thermometers are a snap to use, where it is able to provide instant temperature reading that is accurate as well, while making kids (and some adults) more comfortable since they no longer need to have something probing their orifice – whether it is from the top or at the bottom. Too bad for the little ones, as I clearly remember be paedatrician offering me lollipops after taking my temperature as a form of goodwill.
Some of the advantages for this new thermometer line will include :-

  • Affordability
  • Quick results, enabling immediate care
  • Time saver for large groups
  • Trusted clinical approval for accuracy
  • The ability to take a trauma-free, non-invasive temperature
  • Completely hygienic
  • Back-lit display to be seen in dark when the patient is sleeping
kidz-med-thermometerApart from that, the medical health industry will also learn to go green in some ways and save on costs, since there won’t be any more additional expenses associated with other thermometers such as probe covers and disinfection methods. You won’t find these thermometers out so soon as the consumer model will enter production in February next year, with full production capability exceeding 5,000 units per day. As for the new Kidz-Med 5-in-1 Non-Contact consumer model pictured above, it is expected to retail for $49.95 in the US while folks living outside of the US will have to fork out nearly $80.00 instead. Expect the thermometer to be widely available for purchase sometime in Q3 2010. While it is going to be manufactured in China, we hope that there will be sufficient quality control methods employed. What other non-invasive medical advances would you like to see happen in the future?

Back2Life Continuous Motion Massager



Back pain is a common complaint, whether you’re getting up there in years or still only in your late 20s, it just happens.  Some people are against going to a chiropractor every time they have a back ache.  Instead of visiting doctors constantly, you could give this Back2Life Continuous Motion Massager a try.  It’s said that it’ll help align your spine and relieve that discomfort and pressure.
back2lifeIt works by gently lifting your tailbone and flexing the spine.  You use it for 12 minutes in the morning and for the same amount of time at night.  It’s a way to relieve your pain without some of the more forceful methods like massages and chiropractors.  The device costs $199.95 from Brookstone.  At that price I’d be more likely to stick to a few stretches in the morning instead, but if stretches aren’t working anymore it’s a different way to go.

Pro-Health system for your teeth


Procter & Gamble Oral Care recently made known to consumers on another method they can take in order to keep their mouths healthy and happy this coming holiday season by unveiling the new Crest Pro-Health system. Sounds like a glorified toothbrush, eh? Well, the Crest Pro-Helath system is a 3-step oral hygiene regimen which will basically result in consumers who are virtually free from plaque regardless of the types of decadent foods and festive over-indulgences that are bound to come your way this holiday season. Sounds like a magical cure all, and everyone won’t mind talking to someone with a pleasant breath, right? Especially if you’re single and hope to kiss the girl of your dreams under a mistletoe…
prohealthThe Pro-Health system will comprise of the Oral-B ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide, some Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste and Crest Pro-Health Rinse to get you started. Do you think this is a gift worth purchasing for someone? After all, the recipient might get a wee bit sensitive and emotional, thinking that you probably purchased this because he/she unknowingly has bad breath all the time. All in all, the Pro-Health system will offer the best of both worlds, coupling mechanical action and chemical action to get users virtually plaque free while keeping them that way as well throughout the month of December and beyond – if used regularly and correctly, of course.
When we say mechanical action, it points towards Oral-B’s oscillating-rotating technology that will help loosen and sweep away plaque to provide superior plaque removal benefits without having to visit your dentist and suffering under the bright lights. Stabilized stannous fluoride that is included within Crest Pro-Health Toothpaste helps inhibit the metabolic activity of destructive bacteria, while cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) found in Crest Pro-Health Rinse will prevent the regrowth of plaque biofilm. Any takers out there who are willing to give this a shot? Don’t think you’d lose much anyways, but will gain a much more sociable outlook in the process.

PillCam Colon 2 makes its mark

Medical knowledge and technology sure has come a long way from the ancient times where sickness was attributed to the devil and his cohort, and in this day and age where going under the knife often meant saving a life, the PillCam Colon 2 makes its appearance, going one up on its predecessor of the same name (sans the progression in number, of course). This endoscopic capsule was specially designed for imaging of the large intestine, and has picked up European approval recently, having been unveiled at the Gastro 2009 Conference in London, England.
During the presentation of the PillCam Colon 2, independent investigators presented results of a 98-patient feasibility study that involved the ingestion of this particular medical marvel. The conclusion that these investigators came to was the PillCam Colon 2 is a “safe and effective method to visualize the colon and detect colonic polyps.” To add further weight to its effectiveness, an article discussing the study has been accepted for the December 2009 edition of the journal Endoscopy. Compared to colonoscopy, the PillCam Colon 2 pointed towards a sensitivity of 89% and a specificity of 76% in detecting polyps greater than or equal to 6 mm and a sensitivity of 88% and a specificity of 89% in detecting polyps greater than or equal to 10 mm.
Apart from its seemingly higher degree of accuracy when it comes to detecting polyps of various sizes compared to a regular colonoscopy, the PillCam Colon 2 also offers the fringe benefits of not requiring the use of sedation, intubation or air insufflation during the procedure, which ought to give patients a sigh of relief – at least for those who are afraid of going through the regular rigors of a colonoscopy. This convenient method of visualizing the colon relies on bi-directional communication between the PillCam Colon 2 and the DataRecorder, allowing it to track the capsule’s motion in the GI tract in order for the image capture rate to be adjusted to maximize colon tissue coverage.

The Littmann 3200 Bluetooth Stethoscope

I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a stethoscope that was any different than the same type doctors have been carrying around for generations. They stay pretty simple, but this one gives doctors the opportunity to get an upgrade. While doctors are updating their systems to make them more gadget friendly, this could be a great addition. After all, doctors should get to play with fun

gadgets too. This Littmann 3200 Bluetooth Stethoscope created by both 3M and Zargis Medical would be a great way to update the classic doctor’s instruments.

Bloodbot combines your worst vampire and robot fears


There are a lot of people who faint at the sight of a needle, as well as those that swoon at the sight of blood.
Wouldn’t it be great if there was some machine like this Bloodbot that could draw your blood, without a human ever being present?
Some of you might faint at the very idea of that, but haven’t you ever had a doctor who had a hard time finding the vein while you were donating blood? Apparently, this bloodbot has an accuracy rate of seventy-eight percent. Normally, I would say that is good, but I would like to see the average accuracy rate for a doctor.

Some are extravagant and nowhere near affordable, others are smaller and won’t break the bank. Thankfully this eye massager is one of the cheaper ones out there.

Folks who are looking to conceive and have plenty of trouble doing so can always check out the DuoFertility gizmo that comes with a money-back guarantee, which is pretty surprising since not many people/parties are willing to include a guarantee in their products these days.

The entire package will comprise of ovulation detectors made from rubberized plastic which are then stuck below a woman’s arm near her bra strap. This is made possible thanks to an adhesive patch that covers the entire sensor. The sensor will hold a temperature probe and memory chip which will then keep track of essential data every few seconds. The wireless data reader will break down what it has gathered, translating them to a user-friendly piece of information that includes temperature readings as well as an ovulation diary so that one can always do the horizontal hokey-pokey where chance of conceiving is at its highest.

Philips develops roadside drug test


philips_drugdetector-thumb-550x250-21805

One quick blow on a device and cops can find out just how much alcohol you’ve consumed. Sadly though, so far they haven’t had a roadside way to test for drugs. Which means cops have to drag in people that they suspect to be using drugs. Well that will be changing at some point in the somewhat near future. Instead of dragging people down to the station for a test, Philips has a test they’ve developed to help cops out on the side of the road.

It uses nanotechnology and instead of blowing like you’d do for the alcohol test, you spit. Then after 90 seconds it gives a color coded read out. It will detect any cocaine, heroin, cannabis, amphetamines and methaphetamine. This isn’t exactly great for drug users, but for those that don’t use drugs and just seem to look the part this is definitely good news. It will end any harassment much faster through a quick test. Philips hopes to get these out to cops in Europe by the end of this year. There’s no word when it will make it to the US though.
