This document discusses various wearable technologies that can benefit athletes and people with diabetes. It describes smartwatches that track running performance and heart rate, headphones that monitor heart rate during exercise, and a watch that can measure blood sugar and lactic acid levels without finger pricks. Google is developing smart lenses that can detect early signs of diabetes and glaucoma by monitoring glucose levels through tear fluid. Wearables provide health and fitness tracking in convenient, hands-free ways.

5. Wearables For Athletes
Running watches with built-in HRM:
 M600 is a running watch and smartwatch in
one but it puts the focus firmly on running.
 It gives you GPS tracking and all the stats
you'll need to track performance.
 It also gets all the Android Wear goodness,
including smartphone notifications and
Google voice so you can even interact with it
hands-free.
 $329.95

6. Wearables For Athletes
 Mio Alpha 2 takes an EKG-accurate heart rate
reading right from your wrist.
 Heart rate zones can be configurable, with an LED
flashing light alerting you to your current zone.
 It works with lots of different fitness apps.
 The onboard memory can hold 25 hours of workout
data, with all the distance, pace, speed and calories
data coming from the accelerometer.
 $119.99

7. Wearables For Athletes
 The Steel HR builds on previous Withings
trackers adding a heart rate monitor that
works continuously or during workouts.
 We've tried it and it's one of the best we've
tried whether it's for casual runs.
 The hybrid also offers automatic run and
swim detection.
 25-day battery life and throws your data into
the award-winning Withings Health Mate app.
 $179.95

8. Wearables For Athletes
Headphones with HRM:
 The new version of the Pulse adds continuous
VO2 Max monitoring and still manages to deliver
accurate heart rate readings from your ear.
 These wireless in-ear headphones banish the
need for chest straps or watches, taking the
reading from your lug holes and sending that
data to your smartphone via Bluetooth, with
spoken feedback as you go.
 $159.99

9. Wearables For Athletes & Diabetics
 K’track is a watch through which diabetics and athletes will be
able to measure the blood sugar and lactic acid in the body.
 There is the PKVitality sensor to measure the blood sugar and
lactic acid in the body.
 It absorbs the fluid that contains those chemicals.
 The K'track inserts tiny micro-needles less than half a millimeter in
diameter slightly past a user's outer layer of skin.
 The benefit for diabetics is that they’ll no longer have to endure
finger pricks to check blood sugar level.
 You will be able to test blood sugar level anywhere anytime.
 They could save money on testing strips needed to test blood sugar
level using traditional glucose monitoring methods.

10. Wearable Tech For Diabetics
Google Smart Lenses
 A wearable piece of tech which monitors your glucose
levels in order to detect signs of diabetes, while also
acting as an early-warning device to signal the onset of
glaucoma.
 The lens consists of a wireless chip and a miniaturized
glucose sensor.
 A tiny pinhole in the lens allows for tear fluid to seep
into the sensor to measure blood sugar levels.
