After that super-affordable fitness band and wireless blood pressure monitor, Xiaomi is out with another mHealth product - a smart scale.

Called Baby Gigl, the device collects and analyzes data on food intake, feeding speed, lumps and bottle angle; this information is then sent to a smartphone.

The device, currently raising funds at Indiegogo, has a handle made of pacifier material the child uses to activate 125 child-psychologist-chosen songs.

The ultrasonic toothbrush knows its position in a mouth and shows exactly where you brushed and for how long; this data is then accessible through an app.

The STEMP sensor, medical-grade adhesives, and a mobile app work together seamlessly to provide immediate, continuous, accurate body temperature measurement.

The device features 23 high quality embedded LED lights that display fitness data in mid-air as you jump; this information is also synced with a mobile app.

The patient-operated, portable device called mobileVision can be paired with a smartphone to give clinicians finely detailed images of the macula.

The James M. Cox Foundation provided the money for digitizing the hospital's Journey Boards and delivering them through 200 tablets installed in patient rooms.

Beyond mobile connectivity, the smartphone is also used for its processing power and sensors, which combined with 3D printing, brought the price down to $300.

Connected health devices and the data they generate will offer benefits to stakeholders and consumers, potentially improving preventative healthcare.
