8. Green Goose Sensors
These sensor-laden stickers are designed to be applied to everything from your toothbrush to the dog’s leash, allowing you to track how often they are used.
The sensors have an embedded accelerometer, along with an ultralow power wireless transmitter to send data on the object’s movement to a central base station. The ultimate idea is to transform healthy behavior into a game. Users can set specific goals—walk the dog twice a day, brush after every meal—and software will award points for successful completion.
The company is working on a couple of initial applications for the sensors, but they plan to partner with others to create a variety of games and uses.
Cost: To be announced.
