A new way to help back pain
MyGolgi is a wearable device with a sensor that's placed on your body which can provide feedback on your posture via your mobile device. It can warn you when you're doing an activity that may aggravate your back pain, such as sitting poorly for long periods of time and lifting incorrectly. Through this capture of information during daily life, health professionals should be able to make more informed decisions about your pain and treat it more effectively and efficiently. It's planning to be the world's first biomechanical tracker that's adaptable and able to be worn long term. http://www.mygolgi.com

A new way to show if you're over the limit
DermaTec?s alcohol detection patch is worn directly on the skin, much like nicotine patches worn by smokers. The difference is that, instead of releasing a product into your body, it changes colour depending on the amount of alcohol that has been drunk. From white to very dark blue, the patch moves through a range of shades of blue, allowing you to tell at a glance when you need to book a cab or get a lift with a friend. www.derma-tec.com
