- Smart floor covering that indicates when someone falls and, for example, becomes unwell
- An insulin pump that measures blood sugar levels and then emits the right amount of insulin or glucagon
- Wearables that monitor the heart rhythm and send a signal to the wearer and to the hospital when it records abnormalities
