1. A wristband that monitors blood pressure
2. A forehead-connected sleep sensor that detects if its wearer stops breathing
3. A band which, while connected to a pregnant woman’s stomach, can track her unborn baby’s heart rate and in-utero kicks
4. A breath monitor that helps decipher its user’s digestion
5. An at-home sperm test that produces a live video of the sperm sample
