Folks who are looking to conceive and have plenty of trouble doing so can always check out the DuoFertility gizmo that comes with a money-back guarantee, which is pretty surprising since not many people/parties are willing to include a guarantee in their products these days. The guarantee is good for a year, where they claim that you can always get your money back if you and your partner do not end up with a bundle of joy within that period of time. The entire package will comprise of ovulation detectors made from rubberized plastic which are then stuck below a woman’s arm near her bra strap. This is made possible thanks to an adhesive patch that covers the entire sensor. The sensor will hold a temperature probe and memory chip which will then keep track of essential data every few seconds. The wireless data reader will break down what it has gathered, translating them to a user-friendly piece of information that includes temperature readings as well as an ovulation diary so that one can always do the horizontal hokey-pokey where chance of conceiving is at its highest.

One quick blow on a device and cops can find out just how much alcohol you’ve consumed.  Sadly though, so far they haven’t had a roadside way to test for drugs.  Which means cops have to drag in people that they suspect to be using drugs.  Well that will be changing at some point in the somewhat near future.  Instead of dragging people down to the station for a test, Philips has a test they’ve developed to help cops out on the side of the road.

Although it’d be nice to be able to just go off and get a massage on a regular basis, it just doesn’t usually seem to work out.  Be it due to a busy schedule or just not enough cash flow to be able to afford it.  Which is why at home massagers can be found in just about any possible form you could think up.  Some are extravagant and nowhere near affordable, others are smaller and won’t break the bank.  Thankfully this eye massager is one of the cheaper ones out there.

I’m sure all of you have seen Ghostbusters, a movie with jokes that never get old, even after 25 years. There was one line I remember that isn’t quoted as often as “He slimed me”. It’s when Bill Murray says to Harold Ramis: “Hey, this reminds me of the time you tried to drill a hole in your head, remember?” To which Ramis replies: “That would have worked if you hadn’t stopped me.”

That’s all we hear of that incident during that film. Still, the idea of drilling someone in the head to cure them of ills goes back to ancient times. Fortunately, High-intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) beams can do the same thing, with less, ahem, penetration.

All one needs is an MRI machine and ultrasonic device, and doctors have a way of pinpointing malignant areas with soundwaves and burning them off. It has already been used to remove benign tumors in the uterus, and it appears that it can do the same for the breasts and the brain.

Have you been working extra hard on the computer during the past months so that you can complete whatever project your boss has thrown at you? Unless the office is kind enough to get ergonomically correct hardware (keyboard and mouse), chances are your arms (and the entire body, to boot) will require some form of massage to soothe its protests of aches and pains. Why not do it with the Forearm Pain Relief Massager?

Invented by a licensed massage therapist, this is the forearm massager that can relieve pain associated with carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries in the forearm without medication. The device replicates the Swedish arm massage technique to soothe the inflamed, stiff extensor and flexor muscles that cause forearm pain. Simply place your arm between the compression spring-loaded rollers, turn the dial to your preferred level of tension, and slide your arm back and forth through the cushioned rollers. Two ridges on the upper roller provide a penetrating massage that eases nerve compression and relieves tension in the muscles responsible for hand and wrist movement. The bottom roller’s rubber nodules grip and stretch sore, overworked muscles and tendons. The massager sets up unobtrusively on a desk or table.

Hammacher is carrying the Forearm Pain Relief Massager for $49.95.

I’m sure that anyone who has learned CPR knows who ResusciAnne is. Just hearing that name flashes me back to high school health class, where I had to put my mouth on some plastic girl’s bleach-flavored lips.

It would appear that someone is giving traditional CPR training a makeover with the addition of a PC application and Wiimote. So when you push on ResusciAnne’s chest, the motion controlled joystick interprets it as correct or incorrect chest compressions.

Perception Digital Limited has recently announced its latest device, the Live-Lite fitness aid which was specially designed to help walkers and joggers of all fitness levels make every step count. Sounds serious, doesn’t it? Well, if you are really serious in keeping fit, then the Live-Lite looks set to be an essential device for any fitness buff. According to Jeff Chui, Executive Director at Perception Digital, “Medical experts agree that everyone benefits from brisk walking. This means walking between three and four miles per hour, or between 7,000 and 10,000 steps per day. But most people get bored with exercise. They need feedback and a way to measure their success. With Live-Lite, they can keep track of their progress, listen to music while they walk and know the exact amount of fat and calories that they’re burning. This is an important step to staying motivated, losing weight and meeting fitness goals.”
