Obviously, the most important gadget for anyone is our Smartphones. We are connected to them, and use them every day. However; we don’t often use them to their full capacity. In fact, most people don’t even know what their phones are capable of when they are matched up with other gadgets. Life has infinite possibilities, so it’s time we unlocked what we are capable by increasing our use of technology and gadgets.
Brain-Sensing Headband
Mindfulness is a mental exercise that many people are starting to implement in their lives. Being mindful helps us learn ourselves, our emotions, and focus on overcoming any emotion that may be holding us back in our daily lives. Because of this, meditation is becoming a popular practice. The brain sensing headband tracks your brain activity and reports back to your phone so that you can monitor when you’re at your best. Collecting this data will help learn how to move forward in a healthier, happier way.
Fitbit
Health isn’t something new, but the way we look at it can be. Fitbit devices are definitely popular for tracking steps, but technology advancements mean that Fitbits are now enhanced with more capabilities such as heart rate monitoring, tracking active times of the day, and our sleeping habits. Even if you’re interested in health is just to maintain where you’re at currently, Fitbit will help you be mindful about what you’re consuming, or being mindful about adding those extra steps you would have otherwise avoided. “I always have my Fitbit on. It counts my steps, tells me my heart rate, and it ensures I’m living a healthy lifestyle even while working or traveling.” Says Nancy at Behrman.
Smartphone Breathalyzer
The title sounds a bit off as if this item is for those looking to get away with a borderline drinking habit, but that simply isn’t the case. Many people don’t understand how alcohol affects the body and can occasionally believe they are soberer than they are. However, the breathalyzer helps us become more away of the levels in which alcohol affects us. Instead of just assuming a few glasses of wine is okay with dinner, we can now know for sure that we are following healthy habits for ourselves, and for others on the road.
Smartphone Ultrasound Device
New mothers will want to invest in one of these. Getting into a doctor isn’t always easy, especially with short notice. New mothers aren’t always aware of what’s going on with a pregnancy, so the piece of mind that they can receive with an ultrasound device is truly priceless. Whether they’re looking for an opportunity to show off their little on to friends and family, or they want to check for their piece of mind, this gadget is an item of interest. Those suffering from cardiac, pelvic, or abdominal pain can also benefit from the comfort of this gadget.
Portable Gluten Tester
Celiac has recently received the attention it deserves, and most restaurants are creating a gluten-free menu, but how can we be sure that our food is safe? There is nothing worse than treating yourself out to a meal just to get homesick and uncomfortable. The Portable Gluten Tester alerts us if our food isn’t exactly what we were hoping for, and saves us the medical expenses that come along with consuming gluten.
Smart Fork
Another health item, the Smartfork. Many people eat faster than they should, which means our stomachs don’t have the necessary time to tell our brains we are full. The Smartfork is designed to ensure that we eat at a healthy pace so that we don’t overeat. Save yourself the discomfort of stuffing your stomach too full, and the long-lasting affects overeating can have on your weight. Nancy says, “When you’re traveling, or are at an event, you just eat and eat and eat. I’ve found that the Smartfork is beneficial to helping me stay at my weight goal. This is especially true with all the events that Behrman puts on.”
Pain Relief Device
Considering pain pill addictions are on the rise, alternative pain relief methods are getting attention, which means technology is taking it’s part of this industry as well. The pain relief device acts as nerve and muscle stimulator so that we can take control of our pain, without pharmaceuticals taking control of us. Not only does this help with sore muscles, but also those suffering from carpal tunnel and arthritis.
Smart Scale
Pair up with your Fitbit with a smart scale for maximum effects on weight control. Even if you’re not interested in tracking your weight, using the scale daily and reporting it to the app on your phone means that your doctor can have data tracked over time so that they can diagnose or advice you based on your actual lifestyle.
Hone
I can’t be the only one who loses my keys too often for my taste. Hone is an app on the phone that connects to your keys. When you can’t find them, open the app and make the keys release a sound that helps you find them.
Gadgets help us get in control of our lives, even successful businesswomen such as Nancy Behrman understand their value, as she advocates technology in her own. Gadgets were meant to improve our lives, and it’s about time we take advantage of them.
