Wrist-top Clinic

Iconoculture: WristClinic, made by Ireland’s Telcomed, monitors vital signs with a wireless wrist-top device that measures everything from body temperature and blood pressure to oxygen saturation and one-lead EKG. Patients activate the WristClinic at preset times, using icons on the LCD menu to transmit data to a telemedicine call center or an automated Web-based databank, where it’s stored for later retrieval by e-mail, Web, or fax. Consumers also can opt to have measurements transmitted continuously.
Today’s health-conscious consumers are as concerned with monitoring their stats as they are about long-term physical fitness. Crunching the numbers trumps doing crunches. Globetrotting executives and other busy consumers who need to keep tabs on their vital signs feel more secure leaving home with a mobile wrist-top clinic.
