How many generations have grown up with the sturdy Band-Aid protecting a miscellany of wounds acquired throughout an active childhood? Apparently way too many because the makers are thinking of bringing the humble sticky bandaging up to the 21st century mark by infusing it with a 800-900MHz wireless chip that can wire your vitals including ECG, three axis- accelerometer, blood glucose, ph-level blood pressure, et al to your doc in an instant. The brainchild of upcoming UK firm Toumaz Technology, the tech-forward Band-Aid is expected to retail for less than $5, and this thing really works, it can also prove to a great detective for calorie counters, athletes and sneaky schoolchildren secretly trying to do the dirty!
