The tsunami of medical wearables is not too far off the shore. With the proliferation of laboratory designs, for example, arterial pulse wave monitoring, continuous stress monitoring, and a sensor bracelet for impaired hand control [1-3], nearing completion in the lab but not yet ready for the medical market, there is a large void currently for consumer wearables to occupy.
