Jawbone UP tracks activity, sleep and diet for improved health
Jawbone has expanded its product offerings beyond Bluetooth headsets and portable speakers with the release of UP - a stylish, wrist-worn monitor that tracks your activity, sleep and nutrition with the aim of inspiring you to make healthier lifestyle choices. First flagged by Jawbone founder Hosain Rahman at TED Global in July, the UP uses its inbuilt "MotionX" sensor (which is also found in the company's recent ERA Bluetooth headset ) to track your activity (and inactivity) and transfers the relevant data to your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch via the headphone jack.
Science fiction movies would have us believe that, in the future, pills (or possibly green wafers ) will meet all our nutritional needs, but Harvard professor David Edwards sees things a little differently. Having already introduced the Le Whif chocolate inhaler, Edwards has now turned his attention to the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug - caffeine. The AeroShot Pure Energy delivers a fine powder containing vitamin B and 100 mg of caffeine that dissolves instantly in the mouth.
