I’m sure the iPhone will soon have an app that monitors your bodily functions, but until then, we’re stuck with medical bracelets. Luckily, some of them actually look good.

Developed by the researches at Fraunhofer Institute, the Sensory Wristwatch warns its wearer of health issues like dehydration, high blood sugar, or abnormally high body temperature. The device can be totally customized, depending on the patient’s issues.

The Sensory Wristwatch is still in the development stage, but you’ll soon spot it on the wrists of hospital patients and training athletes. It also sports a futuristic design that makes it look like a gadget from Star Trek.
