This stroke-detecting cap isn't sexy, but it could save your life

You've preordered your smart bra to detect breast cancer, now how about completing the look with this hat that detects strokes? It doesn't look sexy, but it could save your life. The Neurokeeper tracks brainwaves and detects when a stroke is imminent — especially important for those who've suffered a stroke in the past. While the funky hat can't stop the stroke, it quickly alerts the patient or caregivers of the emergency situation so patients can get medical attention ASAP, which is often the key to a swift recovery. The Israeli invention still has to pass muster in an upcoming clinical trial. If successful, it should hit the market in about two years with a $200 price tag. [Source]
