Simeon		Tracking nutrient levels and other substances in blood	15-10-2016 @ 16:31
tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 15.10.2016 @ 16:31 PM by Simeon If you could track any substance in the blood over time, as easily as you track your workouts, what would you want? Could be levels of specific vitamins, amino acids, supplements, hormones etc. The reason I ask is because I'm developing a product that could easily measure substances from a drop of blood, and provide the information in a smart phone app, or something similar, so would like to know what people would like to know about. Could be for lifting reasons or for general health reasons or anything else. If this is a topic that interests you please share! Thanks

If you get this up and running I would like to be a case study for you mate - someone 150kg and openly using gear would be a good candidate surely?

My asshole is not watertight. Member 2926, 6050 posts SQ 217.5, BP 107.5, DL 225 550.0 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq	Blood sugar. The market would be massive!

Lost his pen, then found his pen. #phew Member 4899, 2956 posts	I spent some time putting some thought into this sort of thing a while back - there's quite a lot of problems to overcome in terms of making this sort of thing actually feasible (as I'm sure you are aware)...but if it could be done (and I think it can) then it would potentially absolutely revolutionise the way just about every physical activity is conducted, I really can't overstate the potential it has.

‘downsizing’ Member 5704, 3225 posts SQ 280, BP 210, DL 320 810.0 kgs @ 96.3kgs UnEq	slimsim said:Blood sugar. The market would be massive! few iOS apps that do that you just need a few microlitres of blood a digital glucose reader and a means of getting that data into HealthKit

Lovely ass Congrats. Member 5958, 2315 posts SQ 280, BP 170, DL 300 750.0 kgs @ 138kgs UnEq	FAT_SAM said:Very surprised there isn't more interest in this Me too bro, I know theres blood tests available with anaylsis that lets the athlete know what diet and suppliments thier body actually needs for optimum performance... But thats always been the reserve of national and international champions. To have that tool on our arsenal at a grassroots level of lifting could,if properly used be a complete and utter game changer! Pete Tregloan is a fantastic specimin of proof of this sort of testing.

I want the same as I am convinced it could put the 10% i need on my total for 1000.

'There was also a sausage in my mouth.' Member 2477, 16481 posts SQ 190, BP 130, DL 235 555.0 kgs @ 83kgs UnEq	I would definitely be interested in something like this!

403 forbidden message Member 160, 5121 posts SQ 190, BP 137.5, DL 225 552.5 kgs @ 86kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 18.10.2016 @ 08:45 AM by Funky_monkey Would be interested in taking this abroad. Lots of sick, old people who could do with a test like this. I'd say blood lipids would be a good thing that would appeal to the general public.

Has little understanding of the sugden Member 677, 11338 posts SQ 165, BP 125, DL 220 510.0 kgs @ 80kgs UnEq	Would obviously need to know what the results mean too. Or some idea of what levels of 'whatever' is being measured is normal. Wouldn't this be expensive for individuals?

nothing to hide, please follow my life on webcam Member 255, 3732 posts	FAT_SAM said:Very surprised there isn't more interest in this I can honestly say that, despite coming from a sports science background, I have no idea what I would like/want to track. I think for this to be of interest to most people we would need to be told what we needed to monitor, what the optimum figures are and what to do about it if your results are less than ideal (together with the science to back it up).

I recommend the track - Slut Machine Member 6043, 955 posts SQ 350, BP 195, DL 350 895.0 kgs @ 150kgs UnEq	I had an idea years ago about a device, perhaps like a modern day smart watch that was somehow connected to ones blood supply and able to measure blood levels in real time. It would then top up anything you were deficient in from a replaceable cartridge. I suspect this is completely impossible.
