Most folks would probably dismiss a weather monitor with built-in clock function as a “meh” device, but this one from Oregon Scientific aims to impress you with more than just its functions. It boasts a projection clock that will react constantly to forecasted weather from 12 to 24 hours in advance, changing its display color accordingly (red, light blue, blue, orange and green), depending on the upcoming weather condition. Dubbed the BAR339P, this device helps you plan your day ahead with a range of outdoor conditions including sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, rainy and snowing using a remote sensor with a range of up to 100 feet (30m).

Pharmacists are currently doing their level best to control the release of drugs from a pill by using different release mechanisms - even entertaining the idea of using a pill that may come with a coating that is designed to be dissolved in a particular part of the digestive tract or after a certain amount of time. Unfortunately, this method isn’t really all that effective considering how the rate of passage through the body varies, with different individuals having varying levels of digestive enzymes compared to others. Philips has decided that the best way to circumvent this problem would be using a remote-controlled pill, boasting a cavity for carrying a drug that can be opened by a remote signal. 
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has successfully developed active Braille-like technology that aims to bring a newfound sense of freedom and empowerment to blind folk, letting them “feel” images just like how the rest of us sighted folk see on a video screen. This technology has already been licensed to a commercial firm in order for it to be manufactured into actual products that could be purchased off the shelf by ordinary folk. Sounds pretty interesting, eh - read on for more after the jump.


Bang & Olufsen are certainly most famous for their line of audio equipment, but bear in mind the company does produce medical gadgets from time to time as well. The C-Cap is one aesthetically interesting device that aims to improve medication adherence by reminding diabetics and other patients who need a reminder on taking their next injected medication while housing the medication for convenience simultaneously. When the time is coming, its cap will glow green while those who are late will see a yellow cap and hear a chime as a reminder instead. No idea on how much it costs nor when will it be released, but be prepared to pay through your nose for the C-Cap (as if medical bills aren’t high enough already).
