Up by Jawbone

Technology has become an integral part of life, enhancing the way we experience and interact. Up by Jawbone is designed to encourage a healthier lifestyle with sleep monitors, activity tracking, and even a prompt to log daily meals. The idea is to create an extremely personal fitness plan based entirely on the user's data inputs.

Reading about this device brings into question what else this technology can be applied to. Can this be modified to assist in long backpacking trips, factoring in rationing of food and water; or tracking mileage/altitude achievements? Could this prevent heart attacks by monitoring blood pressure and stress levels? Can GPS tracking be incorporated in some way to ensure a safe return for every camper?

And of course, this little genius bracelet has a sleek and simple design that perfectly compliments the iphone app that logs all of this data.
