people are always losing their possessions many companies have tried to solve the issue but implementing applications that help them track their lost possessions but what if you don't lose your possessions to begin with that is exactly what slide Tech's Mint has to offer anti loss the mint is a pretty incredible product that has a lot to offer to its users it's size allows for amazing mobility while keeping track of your belongings you can attach it to your keys your wallet your backpack and anything else you can think of using the mitten it's also pretty simple you download the app from your Play Store or your App Store and you turn on your Bluetooth afterwards you connect your phone to your mid and then you're ready to go some additional features that the mint has to offer is music shuffling by double clicking the center button on the mints you can play music from your phone remotely the myth can also help you find your phone if you've misplaced it nearby by holding the center button your phone will give off on an alarm until you stop it by either pressing the button on your mitt again or by turning it off from your phone unfortunately I have a PC laptop so PCs users such as myself are unable to utilize the PowerPoint slide changer function of the mint since mint was created as an anti lost product I decided to see how well it actually works I left my keys with my admit attached to it on a bench and I proceeded to walk away as if I had forgotten it after walking a certain distance away my phone alerted me to let me know that I had forgotten my keys behind and when I tapped on the keys on my app it showed me the exact location of where I had left it behind at another cool function about the mint is that you can use it as a remote control button for your camera the only real issue I see with the mint is that if your phone somehow drops Bluetooth connection with the mint your mint will start to alert you as if you have left your phone behind besides that the mint is a very solid product that has a lot of potential to grow and give back to its users with such a wide array of functions the mid has the potential to be the next big thing we believe technology should make our lives better and nowhere is that more important than when it comes to our health just imagine what we could do if we knew where illness was spreading in our local community before it affected our friends offend individuals can take action to avoid getting ill parents would know at their child's first sign or symptom how to respond physicians would better care for patients and society would finally have the tool that needs to track and stop the spread of illness at kinsa were applying design and technology to give you that information I started kinsa after five years running part of the Clinton Foundation's international health program I will always be proud of the work there but I was struck by how little we knew about where and when disease was spreading as a parent of young children I know that the most important thing to me is their health unfortunately they do get sick a lot usually from something they pick up in a neighborhood or at school and as technologists I find it remarkable that there's almost no information available to me as to what is going around together we assembled a dream team and thought carefully about how to gather this information because fever is often the first sign of an illness it allows us to know right when someone is first feeling sick before they've even visited the doctor the solution will sound simple and it is we think it's the basis of a revolution in health it starts with a device that's probably already in your home we've just made it simpler and smarter by connecting it to your phone this is the world's smartest thermometer it tells you how to avoid getting ill or get better faster if you are we've designed the kinsa smart thermometer to be faster and more accurate my five-year-old Nathan isn't feeling well so I'm going to take his temperature by using the power of your smart phone we've minimized the electronics inside there are no batteries processor or LCD this allows it to be thin flexible and comfortable to use especially for children reading complete Nathan's temperatures okay but he's been complaining of a sore throat with a few simple taps I can track his symptoms over time and share them with our pediatrician and since he probably got sick from one of his friends I'm checking the health of his school to see what he might have here I can see the private group that I joined with other parents from Nathan's class five out of twenty four kids are sick and strep throat is going around so he doesn't have a fever I'm a bit nervous so I look for the nearest urgent care facility with an opening to make sure that you have everything you need to keep your family healthy we're adding features like OneTouch call nurse and an illness forecast so you know when you're contagious and when you're likely to get better even if you haven't joined the private group you can still check your local health situation here it is on a Mac we combine our data with data from others to give you what we like to call the health weather you can see the contagiousness level and what illnesses or symptoms are circulating in real-time we built the software and if working prototypes of the thermometer and now we need your help the funds you provide will be used to manufacture the product and scale up production making it even more affordable but Ken says about more than just a thermometer it's about an idea an idea that our health is linked directly to the health of those around us your support will start a movement to share the information we need to keep our families and our neighborhoods healthy you will send a signal to the world that you want to be part of that movement join us and together let's revolutionize health hi I'm Niki and I'd like to introduce you to hideaway the bottle you'll always reach for because it's always within reach experts suggest that for optimum health the average active person drink over 10 glasses of water every day but for those of us who are always on the go it's nearly impossible to stay hydrated without reaching for disposable bottles of water or sugary sports drinks bottled water may be convenient but it's not cheap it costs more than two thousand times more than tap water even though it's less regulated for health and quality then there's the bottle every minute US consumers throw out ninety thousand plastic bottles and less than a quarter are actually recycled the rest end up in our landfills and in our streets parks and beaches we need a convenient solution to disposable plastic bottles that fits our active lifestyle so as a freelance product designer I'm traveling a lot visiting clients visiting factories going to trade shows I was looking for a water bottle that would not take up a lot of space in my carry-on and I started looking around for a product that would work that would still be functional and it wasn't out there as I'm going through airports I'm seeing so many travelers probably with the same problem and I figured this is a problem I can solve myself you know once I had a solution for business travel I realized this had great application my personal life especially in the outdoors going backpacking or just on hikes I could bring water with me and when the bottle was empty it it collapses and goes away and takes no extra space in my back no one loves buying disposable water bottles it's it's merely out of convenience and the Hideaway makes a reusable bottle more convenient in fact in some places disposable water bottles are being banned so we're all gonna move towards the reusable water bottle model and that's why I feel like this is kind of the next generation and hydration this gives you an option to have a water bottle all the time without having to throw anything away I'm really excited to share the Hideaway bottle with with the world and Kickstarter is an amazing opportunity to do that to be able to show you the backers what this is all about so please check out the rewards we need to raise a significant amount of money to get this into production to get it on the shelves this year and just as important please share it with everyone you know tell them about this great water bottle The Hideaway we live on a planet that's 71% water yet we've only explored 10% of it we're about to change that the fathom one is an easy-to-use underwater drone that you control with your smartphone or tablet we designed it to be the most affordable most versatile underwater drone ever made and after two full years of prototyping and development were finally ready to bring underwater exploration and education to the masses I'm John I'm Matt and I'm Danny we're a team of outdoor enthusiasts scuba divers engineers and travelers they had an idea for an underwater drone that we could take anywhere and use in any environment I grew up spending summers on Lake Louise in northern Michigan where a lot of large logging operations took place in the 1800's jump forward two hundred years and now every cottage has artifacts and pieces of history on their walls that washed up on the beach but there are still legends of horse-drawn sleds that fell through the ice and got stuck at the bottom just waiting to be explored I thought if I could control an aerial drone from a mobile app to explore from above why couldn't I do the same thing from underwater that's when Patton was born underwater remotely operated vehicles or ROV s have been around for a while but they're mainly large expensive industrial devices tethered to big ships and early consumer RVs inspired by their Big Brother's cost well over a thousand dollars with no mobile app for piloting and you need to be a pretty good hacker to put them together we knew we wanted an underwater drone that anyone could drop into any body of water and pilot easily using an app on their smart device and it had to be small and light enough to carry around meaning a completely new compact design it had to come fully assembled out of the box including an onboard 1080p HD camera and built in high intensity LED headlights for clear viewing and it had to be as affordable as lower costs flying drones with comparable equipment so that every modern day Explorer could have one we built the fathom one with all of those features and thanks to custom components in a streamlined design now you can have it for under six hundred dollars that's less than half the price of the closest competition above all we made the fathom one super easy to use but that doesn't mean it's limited this thing is fully modular our patent-pending thruster attachment system allows you to easily remove all three thrusters for packing but it also enables customization and upgrades to specialized thrusters such as these ones with larger fins for stabilization and we're hoping our backer community will create and share their own ideas for customization fathom 1 also features an integrated rail system that makes adding accessories like action cameras and additional lights or other sensors a breeze just slide it on click it in and you're ready to go we put everything that we have into making underwater exploration and education more accessible to the masses we've built the prototypes validated at our designs and now ready to go on a full-scale manufacturing all that's left is for you the Kickstarter community to show us that you want an underwater drone that's affordable portable modular and completely easy to use right out of the box fathom is your chance to go deep and see the world in an entirely new way the possibilities are truly endless what can you fathom Hey wow this is great cider yeah is there raspberry in it I'm just wrong room home where'd you get
