Wireless Health Monitor System Debuts

Lifesource wireless health monitor
Lifesource is debuting a wireless personal health monitoring system that uses monitors, software, and USB to track your health.

The three products – Wireless Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, Wireless Precision Scale, and Wireless Activity Monitor – combine to track your weight, activity, and blood pressure and transmit that data wirelessly to a computer running the correct software.

No word on price or availability yet, but it’s a neat idea for sure, especially as the need for Americans to become more health conscious grows.

Looking at the system – which also uses the Actihealth web service – makes me immediately think that it could be a great fit for digital picture frames and wireless gizmos, too.

While it’s terrific to have the data reported back to your PC, we all expect there to be more network-connected screens throughout the house in the future. What if those screens also had access to this data so anywhere in the house you could get an instant glimpse at your blood pressure or the distance you’ve walked that day? Having a screen in the kitchen with your health information might influence your menu choices or in the bathroom could motivate you in the morning.

[...] This idea is an interesting one –especially as our lives become more networked – and has been explored on this site a little bit in the past. [...]
