First Fitness Tracker Designed For Swimmers (Compliments to Ray Hammond for his future trends)
Yes, since my injury I have been doing a lot of PT in the pool. But there really hasn’t been a FitBit that shows me how I’m doing!
It had to happen – iHealth has launched Wave, a swimming tracker that aims to help improve performance in the pool.
The wrist-based device is designed to work in and out of the pool, and will count daily steps, activity and active time.
However, it’s in the pool that Wave really comes into its own. It’s capable of recording stroke type, number of strokes and calories burned, and displays the information in iHealth’s MyVitals 3.0 app, before offering a full report on your session.

First Wearable To Analyze Your Saliva (compliments to Ray Hammond on his future trends!)
Your spit says a lot about your health, and now there’s wearable technology being tested to track it.
Researchers at the University of California, San Diego, have demonstrated a mouth guard with electronic sensors that can detect concentrations of certain chemicals in saliva. Such a gadget could be useful to soldiers, pilots, athletes, and even hospital patients.
The group recently revealed a new sensor that can detect the concentration of uric acid—an elevated concentration of uric acid in the blood and urine has been associated with various metabolic disorders.
This is the second sensor the group has made for the mouth guard. Last year, it showed that it was possible to measure lactate—elevated concentrations of which have been associated with muscle fatigue, among other things.
The device wirelessly transmits the information it collects to a smartphone or computer via Bluetooth Low Energy, a technology that consumes much less power than classic Bluetooth.
