Band-Aids are great for covering cuts, scrapes, and assorted battle wounds to protect from infection, but isn’t it time we mixed some 21st century ingenuity into the old “cover it up and pray for a clean heal” mentality?
UK startup Toumaz Technology is working on a band-aid that can monitor your vitals using a 800-900MHz wireless chip, and costing less than $5 a piece. The chip is programmed to transmit your electrocardiogram, a three-axis accelerometer, blood glucose, ph-level blood pressure, and what not to your doctor. And remember, Band-Aids aren’t groupies, they only give blow jobs (go watch Almost Famous, I promise it’s a funny reference). — Andrew Dobrow
