Picture it...you're flying a helicopter over a warzone and you're looking for soldiers who need to be rescued. You see uniforms spread out across the battlefield but you can't tell who is in need of assistance. Well...imagine now that these same soldiers had illuminations on their uniforms that allowed you, and only you, to determine their level of distress.
Imagine no longer- it's real and it's here. This is what happens when Exmocare teams up with JF Magic.

The Exmocare Watch monitors the physical and emotional state of your loved one and alerts you when potential issues arise.

The watch is uniquely designed to gather many physiological signals at once. Exmocare Home uses proven methods from contemporary psychophysiology to interpret these physiological signals to interpret emotions. With continuous access to physiological, emotional, and activity information, Exmocare Home is the most advanced overall personal wellness-monitoring system currently available. This is the first watch of its kind and my prediction is this is the future of home medical care.

I took a trip to Victoria, British Columbia and made a visit to StarFish Product Engineering. A company who are true innovators in medical device development. They do a lot of work in ultra sound and opthamology and use programming languages like C++ and Python. And let me tell ya, the Canadians are just so sweet...as long as you say "Hockey" is the greatest sport ever! :)
