An Implantable Glucose Sensor Could Help Diabetics Stay Healthy

glukosesensor

It is a rice grain-sized solar powered implantable sensor, which hides underneath the skin for about a year at a stretch and measures the blood glucose levels consistently all the while.

The sensor send data to a variety of portable electronic devices such as cellphones and PDAs, alerting the patient each time the blood sugar levels go high. Clinical trials of the device are expected to being in two years, while the sensor could go on sale by 2017.

LiveCycle – wireless cycling computer and mounting system for iPhone and iPod Touch

livecycle

LiveCycle is the first Wireless Cycling Computer&Sensor and mounting system for iPhone and iPod Touch. Incorporating advanced 2.4 GHz wireless technology from New Potato, a single permanently-sealed sensor unit is mounted on the frame near the rear wheel that measures both bike speed and pedal cadence and transmits that information to a receiving unit attached to the 30 pin connector of the iPhone.

Captured securely in a sleek and aerodynamic shock-absorbing handlebar mounted cradle that protects against vibration and debris, the rider’s iPhone is immediately accessible, yet can be quickly removed along with the receiver dongle.

The Internet of Things – Sensors Everywhere

Event at Stanford: The Internet of Things -  Sensors Everywhere

sensors announcements When
Tuesday, March 16, 2010 6:00pm – 7:00pm – Networking and Refreshment  7:00pm – 8:30pm – Panel Discussion and Q/A
Where
Arbuckle Lounge and Bishop Auditorium at Stanford Business School

PANELISTS:

- Dr. Peter G. Hartwell, Senior Researcher, HP-Labs.

- Warren Hogarth, VC, Sequoia Capital.

Event Description:

Today, an increasing number ofpervasive and connected sensors are intelligently monitoring our dailylives and contributing to the rapid dissolution of the divide betweenour physical and digital worlds. This sensor revolution is creating anew layer of the Internet — what some analysts and researchers callthe “Internet of Things”.

Driven mainly by innovations inpower consumption, size and ubiquitous connectivity, sensors aregathering and reporting data on a variety of areas including medical,transportation, energy, security, general consumer and industrialmanufacturing.

Gartner reports “By year end 2012, physical sensors will create 20 percent of non-video internet traffic.”

Come to discover:

- How new companies are addressing sensor-based market opportunities.
- What sensors are currently embedded in the world, what data are they producing and how are businesses leveraging that data? The coming 5 years promises to hold an explosion of ubiquitously embedded devices and sensors. Where will these sensors be and what will they do? And how will the data and analytics be of value to businesses and consumers?
- What will be the primary pain points in a world characterised by sensors everywhere?
-What are the top opportunities for start ups in the space and what will business models look like?

The wireless sensors – The future of medicine

From TED TALKS: Eric Topol says we’ll soon use our smartphones to monitor(with help of mobile sensors) our vital signs and chronic conditions. At TEDMED, he highlights several of the most important wireless devices, sensors in medicine’s future — all helping to keep more of us out of hospital beds.

The Sensor Device for Developers – The Waspmote

Waspmote
The Libelium Inc. has released new low power sensor device( “Waspmote”) capable of monitoring any environment, though in adverse conditions.

Sensor Boards: Gases (CO, CO2, CH4..), accelerometer, temperature, liquid level, weight, pressure, humidity, luminosity etc.

Communications: GPRS, GPS, USB, WiFi,  Bluetooth + SD Card, Flash, .

This year, Libelium will participate as an exhibitor at CeBIT 2010, one of the european foremost tradeshows for new technologies.

There will be live demos of the Waspmote wireless sensing platform .

Alicia Asín says, “CeBIT visitors will have the first opportunity to view a new software package for monitoring the network, managing domains and configuring Meshlium routers in a centralised way”.
