如果你曾经被不幸被建议n endoscopy, you'd know how horribly traumatizing the medical procedure can be. Used to detect anything from ulcers to stomach cancer, endoscopy follows sticking a huge tube with an end of a camera down your throat, all under minimal to low anaesthesia. This could soon be history, with the commercial launch of products likePill Cam- a micro sized camera pill which is swallowed and follows the natural course of disposal, minus any hospital admission, transmitting its images wirelessly. Digital medicine may soon replace several traditional medical procedures.

Wearables could redefine what virtual sex is all about, adding another layer of control and intimacy in the act. Wearable sex toys likeOhMiBod, a WiFi control vibrator seeks to stick to your privates and can be control virtually by your partner, even a thousand miles away. Combine it with a 3D webcam (or even better, a VR headset and a 360 degree VR cam recorder), and it's the next best thing to actually being in person. And if you've ever bewailed the fact that there's no FitBit for your vagina, you're in luck. Meet Oh-Dometer and theElvie-- new products to track the activity down there, and even give you a workout!
