Diabetes NSW and ACT are testing a a glucose-sensing contact lens ? a non-invasive way to monitor glucose from tears.
Glucose levels in tears are five to ten times less concentrated than those found in blood, requiring more sensitive detection. However, based on the prototype, the lenses are expected to generate a reading once per second and to not need calibration. http://diabetesnsw.com.au/smart-contact-lens-to-provide-glucose-readings/
For those of us multi-taskers...It?s essentially a cup holder that attaches to the handle of your umbrella. It?s got a gimbal mechanism to ensure that your cups always stay level and don?t spill. That way, you can carry your drink (and even an extra one!) while holding your umbrella with one hand and whatever else you need to carry in the other. :-D https://technabob.com/blog/2014/03/24/morella-umbrella-cup-holder/
The Ready Glove is a disposable ambidextrous medical glove with a convenient list of basic vital signs printed on its outer surface. This allows first responders (like me, Rural Fire Brigade medic) the opportunity to record a baseline set of vitals without having to find a notebook; and I can keep referring to it during patient care without having to consult said notebook.
