"diagnose deep vein thrombosis from a single drop of blood, as well as a wristband that can measure body temperature, skin moisture and electromagnetic radiation"
You know, I didn't dig too deep into the above links, and I know that this is marketing on their part, but I don't know who will bother with this, clinically speaking. You're going to draw other labs anyway, so adding a d-dimer is no big deal. Besides, you're probably not going to diagnose DVT/PE on blood alone, so I don't see how this changes anything (except general tech advances and future potential, perhaps).
Temp? Don't need a wristband for that. Skin moisture? ...? Electomagnetic radiation? Perhaps, but that's an awfully big category.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
