Track your life with TheCarrot.com
Friday, August 27th, 2010
When you’re trying to get healthy—exercising, losing weight, or managing a disease like diabetes—monitoring your daily activities can really help. But having data in a bunch of different places is too complicated—and time consuming.
TheCarrot.com to the rescue! With their free tracking service, you can choose trackers to monitor almost anything—Exercise, Food, Medications, Hypertension, Asthma, Pregnancy, and lots more. Health journals are in a familiar calendar format that helps you stay motivated to track their progress.
After gathering your data—for a day, a year, or anywhere in between—you can see how you’re doing by running and printing a color report. These powerful reports are what really make TheCarrot unique, and they’re formatted so you can easily share them with your trainer, nutritionist, or doctor.

The interesting thing about thecarrot.com is that they have recently launched a iPhone and WebH1N1 (Swine flu) tracker that enables people with flu-like symptoms to keep track of their activities. If tests confirm that they have contracted the Swine Flu virus, the contact information captured by the tracker will enable quick notification of people who may have been exposed to the disease to speed testing and needed treatment. AS Douglas Trauner (CEO), says:
“With TheCarrot.com Swine Flu tracker, we hope our users will be able to help clinicians, epidemiologists and other researchers better understand transmission of the disease, which will help prevention efforts,”
I say good luck to them – its a great idea with a good product to follow.
Physiobench – online recovery advice
Friday, August 27th, 2010
Physiobench is a very interesting and simply designed website that enables the user to enter their injury problems, choose a physio and receive treatment advice. Perhaps this is the future of medical diagonsis and treatment for patients. I can imagine the NHS copying this protocol in the future with patients forwarding photographs of their ailments.
