Breastlight for Breast Awareness

I quite enjoy writing about medical gadgets, not only does it enhance my knowledge of health conditions but also if I can encourage just one person to buy a gadget that helps them diagnose a life threatening condition then I can be pleased with myself.

Whilst no excuse for properly checking your breasts for lumps and irregularities, the Breastlight is a red light that shines over your breasts allowing visualization of breast tissue. Now its best usage from what I understand is that after a few months a user becomes familiar with the internal structure of their breast making it easier to spot any unusual or abnormalities.

Please note:

=> WOMEN WHO ARE INVITED FOR A ROUTINE BREAST SCREENING ARE STRONGLY ADVISED TO ATTEND.

=> BREASTLIGHT IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR MAMMOGRAM SCREENING.

PhysioGlove ECG

Commwell, an Illinois-based company has developed a special glove called the PhysioGlove.  Its aim is to produce a medical gadget which allows individuals to monitor their own ECG without the need of wires hanging everywhere and the requirement of placing sensors in the correct locations.

Using the PhsyioGlove is easy; an individual simply places the glove on their left hand and lays it across their naked chest. As the sensors are already positioned on the glove, minimal coaching and adjustments are made to correctly produce an ECG output.  What benefit does this have? Well firstly, only one wire is required which can read all ten electrode sensors and supply the information to the monitoring device. Obviously there is some flaws in the concept, i.e. the patient might move their arm which would give an inaccurate readout, however as a quick and time-critical gadget I can see clearly the benefits of the PhysioGlove.
