CES awards innovative health gadgets
You probably already have one or more health gadgets, but here are some more to add to 
your wish list: the nine most innovative health gadgets presented at CES 2012. Among our favorites is the New Balance Evolved Headphone System that monitors the runner’s heart rate, calorie burn, and steps via the ear buds all the while listening to music. Another example of great innovation is the world’s first cellular-enabled glucose meter that allows you to measure your blood sugar wirelessly. The user inserts a test strip into a slot on the device, which then sends the results in real time to a secure online database using an internal, wireless modem. Users, physicians, family members or caregivers can access and comment on these results.
