All the wonders of modern science and medicine can't really help you if you don't do basic things like, you know, take your medication as directed. Yeah, I know, I know, pobody's nerfect and you forget once in a while. It happens. Because so many people are unreliable and can't remember to do basic things that will help them stay alive, home audio and medical devices manufacturer Bang & Olufsen has created The Helping Hand. A small device that holds your meds, it reminds you when to take them and tattles on you to your doctor if you slip up. It also comes with Bluetooth functionality, allowing it to connect to the Web and let your doc know what's up without a trip to the waiting room. Much like the company's fancy stethoscope, it's a design winner and looks real purdy in addition to being functional. The Helping Hand isn't available direct to consumers, instead coming packaged with specific drugs from partnering pharmaceutical companies. As more companies join up with the Bang, you can expect to see this neat little gadget being charged to your insurance company for an exorbitant amount in the near future. — Adam Frucci
