Apple Preparing Heart Attacks Prediction Sensors

According to a report, Apple is developing a sensor based wearable gadget that would be able to predict about heart attack. The effort, led by audio expert Tomlinson Holman, the creator of THX and 10.2 surround sound, can reportedly focus on the sound that blood makes as it travels through the arteries.

Apple's supposed sensor to monitor the sound of blood flowing, that device would probably ought to be worn on somebody's body. Therefore, this new information directly points to the continued rumors of an future Apple wearable gadget, normally stated as the iWatch.

The iWatch implications of the San Francisco Chronicle report are further backed by last week's news that Apple hired medical-device expert Marcelo Malini Lamego. What's more, a report in January claimed that Apple is also working on new health-focused apps for iOS.

If this new report regarding Apple's heart sensor research pans out — barring a surprise move by the company to enter the medical scanner bed industry — Apple's rumored iWatch will turn out to be far more broadly impactful than anyone could have guessed.

Smartphone Booklet Concept

Smartphone Booklet Concept Designed by Ilshat Garipov

Clutch your pearls because I’m about to say something amazing – nanoparticles! Yes these tiny, near invisible objects can revolutionize the bio medical, optical and electronic fields so designer Ilshat Garipov put pen to paper and came up with the Smartphone Booklet –  a disposable phone as thin as a cardboard made possible by switching from traditional silicon to nanoparticles.

The Booklet unfolds like a pamphlet with each side representing a commonly used application or function. Manufacturers can cut it to any size and once it’s worn out, just recycle it. Don’t worry about private information because everything is served from a cloud. Power is supplied by, SURPRISE, the sun thanks to energy absorbing nanoparticles.

How close is this to reality? Unfortunately not close enough but scientists are working feverishly to find a breakthrough in this field of study so in the meantime hold on to your iPhones, Droids, Galaxies, and Luminas. - yankodesign

Future iWatch Concept Sports Sleek Design

A team of designers and IT engineers are showing off their concept design for an iWatch amid much speculation about Apple's plans for a smart watch. Italian design team Ciccarese Design envisioned a modern look for the smart watch in its mockup renderings.

Apple has reportedly been hiring for work on its iWatch team, but it never explicitly confirmed that such a watch is in development. Recently, however, we learned that Apple hired fitness consultant Jay Blahnik, who worked on Nike's FuelBand.

The Italian iWatch design concept incorporates iOS 7 on the screen. The design teams says it has started prototyping the concept in both white and black versions. 

Apple is not the only company expected to reveal a smart watch or gadgets for your wrist. Samsung's Galaxy Gear smart watch will reportedly come in five colors, while Pebble has been shipping out its pre-orders this summer.

What do you think about the above concept design? Are you planning on buying a smart watch? Let us know in the comments.

Combination of Fashion And Mobility Into An Interesting Concept

Dial (Phone) is a mobile device that can be worn on the wrist, like a bracelet. The concept mixes cutting-edge technology with reference to the products of time gone by. It invokes memories of old-fashioned dial phones.

Due to the ongoing development of technology, the mobile phone’s design becomes smaller and smaller, so the Dial(Phone) has been designed as a fashion accessory.

The circular shape and the name “Dial(Phone)” are derived from the dial phones of times past, mixing these nostalgic feelings was the intention of Jung Dae Hoon, the designer. The Dial(Phone) comes in various finishing materials, being a fashion accessory it has to represent the user’s taste. The looks of the phone vary from luxurious, sporty or elegant. 

The phone is operated by turning the dial. Once started, projected light beams are your guide indicating different characters. These light projected characters can be read if the phone is removed from the wrist and placed on the palm of the hand or on a flat surface. 

The upper part of the dial responds to the user’s touch and by pressing it, in the corresponding number, it facilitates dialing.

The Projector Bracelet A Future Gadget

Snowcorn is a bracelet like concept device with sixth sense which includes a built-in projector, a camera and Wi-Fi connectivity. Moreover, this device can be placed anywhere on around your neck or chest. The transparent part of this device is a screen that can show basic functions or time and more complicated controls are done by the projected UL. 

You will be able to customize it with your desired color and style. This device will allow you to scan a business card to include the person’s particulars to your address book via Wi-Fi. Another key benefit of Snowcorn is you can translate a word or phrase that is unfamiliar with you in a book.

Future Camera D Can

Meet the D-Can, a concept camera that resembles a military-grade spotting scope equipped with long-zoom capabilities. Straying from traditional camera designs (though it’s somewhat similar to the Lytro camera), designer Jean-michel Bonnemoy believes the form factor of today’s cameras should be updated to a cylindrical design for better ergonomics. 

This concept snapper features an ISO range of 100 to 6,400 and comes with a long-zoom lens coupled with image stabilization capabilities. Its lens cap doubles as an electronic flash–capable of firing an AF-assist beam at the same time. 

When the camera’s in use, shutterbugs can either utilize a hooded magnifier to frame compositions or choose the camera’s Live View function via a high-definition LCD display. Auto focus can be further fine-tuned using the snapper’s on-board trackball. It also comes with external ports that allow users to equip the device with an audio headset, a stereo microphone, and an external power supply. 

Should the D-Can become a reality, we wonder if one would be able to store it in a pocket comfortably due to its elongated shape.
