New Gadget measures all kinds of body info

[Amazigh]

Any Star Trek fans here? Apparently they've created a "tricorder." Looks interesting. In addition to instant pulse/temps, it also gives you heart rhythm data and bp, and even oxygen saturation. Additional kit lets you do a urine analysis.

I would quite like something that measured insulin, but I doubt if that will ever be available domestically. From what I've read it's quite hard to measure, even in the lab.

I suppose it might also be nice if you could plug something in that instantly gave a readout of your metabolic state, but from all we have learned and are learning from Ray, I don't think that is even theoretically possible.
