The search for new ways of handling the rise of diseases is linked to modern lifestyle.

Japan has taken the lead by launching a device for women to measure their body temperature, which tells a lot about their health, body rhythm and gynecological illness.

Long-Term Radiation Health Checkups For Over Two Million Fukushima Residents
Over two million residents living near the earthquake-cum-tsunami hit Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant are poised to undergo long-term health checks starting from this month.

In Japan, a survey among 50 female workers in the age group of 20 and 30 revealed that just 10 per cent measure their body temperature regularly.

To reverse this trend, two enterprises - Toshiba and Rakuten - have developed a smart phone based application service with easy connected thermometer.

It is fitted with a microprocessor, which not only measures the body temperature, but also sends the information directly to a smart phone with just the push of a button.

COMPENSATION SLOWS RECOVERY
Trauma patients covered by compensation have worse physical and life-quality outcomes and slower recovery times than non-compensation patients.

High blood pressure is also one of the fallouts of modern day living and causes life threatening diseases like strokes, renal and heart diseases.

"A 96-year-old lady user says that the blood pressure monitor is very easy to operate. It feels like the doctor sitting beside her. We will start the presentation in China this June. We are planning to spread our new service to Asian market," said Kohno Seiji, a representative of Omron Co. Ltd.

The new advances will benefit people across the world.
