Headache Relieving Wrap
While not everyone suffers from headaches and migraines, those who do actually writhe around in unspoken agony while the world mercilessly looks on. Popping a couple of paracetemol pills might be the most convenient thing to do, but there are some people out there who are seemingly immune to the effects of such medication, leading them to look for other forms of relief. How about the Headache Relieving Wrap?
Developed by a neurologist, this head wrap helps relieve headaches naturally, eliminating the need for medications. A study published by the Archives of Family Medicine proved that the head wrap alleviated migraine and tension headaches in 87% of patients. The unit straps comfortably to your head and provides a soothing, consistent pressure that gently compresses blood vessels to help relieve migraines. It comes with three reusable gel packs that can be heated or frozen, and inserted into the headband to provide relief from throbbing pain. Heat therapy relaxes tense muscles and the cold treatment cools and constricts blood vessels, helping to alleviate tension headaches. The headband is insulated to retain heat and cold and its adjustable strap and Velcro strap keep it in place. One size fits all.
While it might make you look as though you were wearing a turban, missing a flute and a cobra to play the part of the snake charmer, forking out $49.95 as a last resort might actually work in your favor.

The LED handcrank powered Slik-Stik
Here’s a nice update to the classic boring walking stick. It adds a few extra features that make using a walking stick far more convenient. The big perk being that the stick is housed with LED lights. Making walking at night a lot easier to do and definitely a lot more safe. Even better is that the LED lights shine in two different directions. One shines up ahead and the other at your feet, making it highly less likely you’ll stumble over any unseen objects.

MAC 800 Portable ECG System
Portable ECG systems aren’t exactly something that we cover on a daily basis, but this one looks pretty interesting that we guess it deserves some airtime on Coolest Gadgets. The nice people at the FDA have recently given their collective nod of approval for GE Healthcare’s MAC 800 portable ECG system. What seems to come in a relatively lightweight package, the MAC 800 is able to save further space thanks to the keyboard that is styled after that of a cell phone instead of the standard, full size variety. It is interesting to note that the MAC 800 was originally developed for the Chinese market, but has been adapted and will now be marketed in the US.

Known as the Renasys Go, it comes in a much smaller form factor that can be worn around your neck just like a fashionable MP3 player, although it doesn’t play back any music (could be a feature the manufacturer includes the next time round) but sucks at your gross wound instead. Hey, if somebody asks, you can either tell them the truth or pull their leg that you’re using a pair of prototype Bluetooth earphones which are located right inside your ear canals, hence having no wires running out from the Renasys Go.

Cell phone used to check for ailments via breath
It is interesting to note that rap mogul P. Diddy’s latest fragrance, I Am King, is inspired by his breath (yes, he actually said that in an interview with Ryan Seacrest on American Top 40!), and I guess this man must win all the best smelling breath competitions worldwide hands down if such a thing existed. Well, we’re going to look at the human breath today in a different light as Applied Nanodetectors Ltd (AND) of the UK has successfully rolled out a prototyped cell phone which was specially developed to detect a range of diseases, all from the user’s breath.
