Jawbone Up Tracks Your Body for Better Health

Jawbone Up.jpg
Jawbone is known for wireless devices, but those are Bluetooth headsets.  Now they've come up with a really cool device to help you track  your health.  Called "Up" the device is a bracelet that, when worn, tracks things like, activity, sleep, etc.
It then plugs into your iPhone, iPad, or 4th generation iPod to upload the data.
From the company website:
What does the UP band track?
The UP band has a built-in precision motion sensor that automatically tracks your movement (steps, distance, calories burned, pace, intensity level and active vs inactive time ) and sleep (hours slept, time to fall asleep, light vs. deep sleep and sleep quality).
The device will be available soon for 99.99 which doesn't really seem outrageous for what it does.  This definitely looks like something I'm going to be putting on the wish list.

    This is a very useful tool. But seeing a physician regularly is still the best medicine. But surely this device can help.
