What will the smart home look like in 10 years?
Driving everything with voice and immersing yourself in the Internet of Things will be routine. Thanks to advances in AI, a smart home will anticipate our needs.
Trollaby, this trolley is not a hotel (but almost)
Trollaby is a suitcase that, if necessary, becomes a shelter, almost a camping tent. I'll rephrase that: an airport floor tent
ElectroDermis, the patch of the future knows when to heal
ElectroDermis can monitor many parameters and dynamics of points (think of the hollow of the knees) not reachable by any plaster in the world.
Future work, the ideal dose will be 8 hours per week
The study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine shows that when someone goes from unemployment to a paid job of 8 hours or less per week, their risk of mental problems is reduced by at least 30%: instead there is no evidence that a longer schedule provides greater mental well-being.
eNAMPT, enzyme in the blood of young mice extends the life of elderly ones: now tests on humans
As reported in the journal Cell Metabolism, the protein circulating in mice (an enzyme called eNAMPT) plays a key role in the process that provides cells with energy. Over the years, the latter become less and less efficient in producing this "fuel" (called NAD) necessary for your health.
Monit, and even the diaper becomes smart
Monit has created a sensor as big as a biscuit and equipped with bluetooth: the sensor detects the presence of pee or popo in the diaper and warns the parentado that he will be happy to do his best without having to sniff the nice pack first.
Muse, take a look at your brain
There are several wearable devices already designed to monitor our vital parameters, from heartbeat to sleep patterns: a group of inventors is bringing to the market a user-friendly and wearable approach to brain wave monitoring. InteraXon is a Canadian company that is working hard to introduce a band called Muse, to be worn on the forehead, which uses 4 EEG (Electro Encephalogram) sensors capable of showing the traces of the brain. In the initial release… Read more
The mad rush of miniaturized health
The efforts that technology has made to improve our health conditions and our life expectancy seem to be preparing for the big leap, causing a substantial transformation in the way we treat ourselves and stay healthy for a long time. Here are the changes we should prepare for, and if they don't arrive quickly we should push for them to happen: Loanable Telemedicine: Telemedicine services, 'lighter' consultations that can be delivered via telephone or internet, now have an excellent propensity to ...

Memoto, first steps for the digitization of memory
Memoto is not a camera like all the others: you can't control it, it has no button to shoot. It takes automatic photos every 30 seconds from the position in which you place it (it is equipped with a clip to place it on a jacket, on a bike, wherever you want) and creates a sort of shareable "photographic memory" with its own search engine . It is the first step towards the digitalisation of our life experiences. It is unlikely that all the images taken… Read more
Smart steering wheel controls vital signs while driving
We have already said a lot about devices that check if you are too drunk to drive, but today a group of German researchers want to take this concept a little further: their 'intelligent steering' constantly monitors the driver's vital functions and changes behavior of the vehicle in their operation. Developed by the Munich Technical University in collaboration with BMW, this steering is equipped with numerous sensors capable of measuring heart rate, oxygenation levels and blood pressure: if … Read more
Winding Power, recharge the batteries by blowing on them.
Ok, we are in 2011 and yet there are still many gadgets that require the use of an instrument so old that it has even been found among the remains of the most ancient peoples: these are AA batteries, which torment the sleep of all remote control users or console controllers. Wouldn't it be nice to abandon forever these annoying little cylinders that have to be removed, loaded, reinserted, thrown away? A new concept could eliminate waiting times, with batteries that recharge simply by… blowing on them. … Read more
