Dr. Touch: precisely like what you think, except not at all

Filed under:

The age of the house signal is lengthy gone, and until we manage to replace all our bodily organs with cybernetic proxies, medical gadgets are our only hope to minimize those pesky office visits. The Health PHS5000 (aka Dr. Touch) from LG and Intel isn’t the first of its kind, but it is the latest such device, and it’s been recently introduced exclusively in Japan to start medical trials. The little white box with a friendly UI (smileys mean you’re not dead yet, we presume) can track things like blood pressure and sugar levels, and will even send reports to your doctor’s office — meaning your terminal laziness can reach astronomical new heights… er, lows. It’s perfect for the disabled or merely reclusive, and with any luck will be hacked soon to allow Wii Fit

integration.
