5 medical devices featured in TIME’s Best Inventions of 2015
In TIME’s annual ‘Best Inventions’ list for 2015, five medical devices made the mark:
6SensorLabs’ Nima: Tests food or drink for gluten in as little as two minutes.
Doppler Labs Here Active Listening Earbuds: A user can use these earbuds to choose what frequencies to filter out in order to mute or turn down the intensity of noise.
Eko Core – Smart Stethoscope: This device streams heartbeat data we can’t hear with our ears to the cloud so it can be downloaded, analyzed, and compared to previous recordings.
The Sproutling baby monitor: This Fitbit-like device tracks a baby’s temperature, heart rate and position with mobile app notifications if something could be alarming.
Juno desktop DNA lab: Comparing DNA strains can take an entire day. Juno reduces that time to 3 hours; it has a microchip that can amplify samples 1,000 times smaller than a drop of water.
