    Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.     Using tech and 3d printing to personalize nutrition supplements.    We’ve been checking out Elo Health’s 3D printed gummies.   The idea is you fill out an assessment online…and the personalized supplements are on their way.   They are sugar free…and are seven layers….so a bit larger than a typical nutrition gummy.  Elo Health also makes personalized Smart Protein.   There’s also an app…iOS only for now designed to work with the supplements to help you achieve your health goals.   CEO Ari Tulia …

    “We can just simply do a questionnaire for you, about twenty questions, and we know roughly what you need.  And then we can ship you these gummies.  Or if you want, you can order a blood test kit and make the recommendations even more precise.”

    A subscription is 59 dollars a month for the individually wrapped gummies.   Find more at elo.health.

  • Stethophone turns iPhone into FDA cleared stethoscope

    Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Stethophone is the name of a new app …on the Apple side only at first…designed to act as an FDA cleared application turning a smartphone into a high end medical stethoscope. Mark Opauszky, CEO of Sparrow BioAcoustics began work on the technology after recovering from a flesh eating disease that nearly claimed his life a few years ago…

    “And you start to realize just how much you are a participant in your own recovery. And so one of the things I did when I got out was I said look, , the next thing that I dedicate my life to professionally, needs to help a lot of people.”

    And the hope is the Stethophone will do just that…allowing meaningful data and sound to be transmitted instantly to medical professionals from anywhere. Learn more at www.stethophone.com.

    Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Anker’s Soundcore brand is out with the AeroFit Pro open-ear earphones. Designed for running or other activities where you need to hear what is going on around you…they are still able to deliver impressive sound quality. They feature directional speakers to deliver that sound…remarkably better than what we’ve come to expect from open ear headphones.

They’re good for about fourteen hours on a charge and the charging case can give you about two days worth of juice more. The size may be an issue for some…..but overall the AeroFit Pro Open Ear headphones deliver. The price…about 170 dollars. Find more at us.soundcore.com.
