THE LATEST WAYS TO MAKE HI-TECH WORK FOR YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS EDITED
BY CEYLON MONRO
Bose Sleepbuds
Bose makes some of the best noise cancelling headphones in the business, and is now adapting those skills to help you sleep. These tiny earpieces use noise isolating tips and a library of preloaded soothing sounds to mask disturbances. A charging case ensures they’re juiced up, and a companion app customizes settings like volume, preferred sounds, and alarms. $15
Avya Steam Inhaler
No one likes being congested. This portable medical grade device delivers nanoparticle steam using a simple saline solution and patented vibrating mesh nebulization. Breathe it in, and the steam goes deep into sinus and throat passages, clearing them while hydrating and moisturizing. For maximum results, pair with the company’s Himalayan salt saline. $15
Amabrush Automatic Toothbrush
Designed as a cure for all our bad brushing habits. Featuring a flexible mouthpiece made from antibacterial silicone that attaches to a powered hand piece, this powerhouse gets teeth clean in just ten seconds. It also has a built in mechanism to automatically dispense specially formulated toothpaste, and connects to mouthpieces magnetically, so it’s easy to have multiple users. $90
Pill Pack
Dealing with multiple medications can be a hassle, but this system aims to make it painless a full online full service pharmacy (just purchased by Walmart for a cool $1 billion) that delivers presorted medications to your door each month. Each sachet is labeled with the time, date, and any notes on how to administer, all stored in a convenient dispenser. Its app, Pharmacy OS, makes managing various prescriptions, refills, and renewals a snap. Price TBA
One Drop Diabetes Tools
According to the CDC, an astonishing 100 million U.S. adults are now living with diabetes or pre diabetes. For them, keeping track of blood glucose, medication, food, and activity levels is essential. The One Drop links test data to a mobile app via Bluetooth, and shares its sleek chrome and black design with a test strip canister and lancing device. One Drop also offers around the clock support from certifi ed diabetes educators. $80
Peloton Tread Interactive Treadmill
Not content to rule just spin class, Peloton is now looking to attract runners. Like the Bike before it, its latest Tread is built around a 32 inch HD touchscreen that provides access to thousands of different running, boot camp, toning, and low impact classes. The treadmill has 59 shock absorbing slats for comfort, along with a built in soundbar, knob based speed and incline controls, and a workout pad and weights. $4,000
LVL Wearable Hydration Monitor
Proper hydration is vital to good health, but none of our activity trackers keep track of it. Until now. The LVL uses red light technology that measures 10 times deeper into the body than green lights commonly found in fitness trackers, letting it measure hydration levels and take hyper accurate heart rate readings, too. It also tracks activity, sleep, and mood. $120
