TREND #1: CONVERGENCE OF TECH & HEALTH

The convergence of technology and health has been gaining momentum. The idea of the "quantified self," or compulsively tracking every measure of health in real time, emerged as a theme in early 2014, and a boom is forecast for mid-2015. Increased consumer demand for products that track and quantify their very existence, from fitness and nutrition to sleep and weight, has inspired Jarden's Health o meter® brand to develop its nuyu™ line of products. Coming in 2015:

• A fitness tracker that coaches consumers toward their goals with built-in motivation throughout the day! The Health o meter® nuyu™ Activity Monitor tracks steps, calories, distance, and even sleep. No matter the goal, this device keeps consumers on track. Providing the right information to make sense of the numbers in an easy and approachable way, the nuyu™ Activity Monitor app includes easy exercise and lifestyle tips designed with consumers in mind. Ultra versatile, this wear-anywhere gadget can be worn on the wrist, clipped to a waist band or onto shoelaces for superior accuracy, and since it's waterproof, it can even be worn while swimming or showering! Bluetooth® technology wirelessly uploads activity to your nuyu™ smart phone app. Battery lasts up to 4 months, so there's no need to chage weekly. (MSRP: $49.99)
• A wireless scale that uploads weight information automatically to help consumers reach personal health goals. The Health o meter® nuyu™ Wireless Scale uses Bluetooth® technology to send weight information wirelessly to the nuyu™ app. Simply download the app on any smart device; step on the scale, and weight information is automatically updated. Featuring a sleek tempered glass design, this scale has a patented disappearing LED display that provides a clean look while not in use. The 4-Load cell technology accurately measures in 0.1 pound increments. Replaceable batteries included. Available in white and black. (MSRP $59.99)
• A new system to ensure a better night's sleep. Sleep is one of the most fundamental needs for personal health and well-being. The Health o meter® nuyu™ Sleep System uses a patented method to utilize the body's natural circadian rhythm to cool or heat the bed to the ideal sleep temperature. Variable temperature controls allow consumers to adjust temperatures to meet sleeping preferences, so they can fall asleep comfortably, sleep through the night and wake up feeling more rested. Using Bluetooth® technology, the Sleep System may be controlled using the Health o meter® nuyu™ smart phone app. Sleep data from the Activity Monitor is also sent wirelessly to the app, putting consumers in control of their overall health and well-being. (MSRP: $499.99)

Today's consumers have their eye on health. Over the last decade, consumption of fresh foods - fruits, vegetables, meat, poultry, fish and eggs - has grown by 20 percent. This is expected to continue over the next five years and the younger generations, Millennials (ages 24-37) and Gen Z (ages 23 and under), will drive the trend, according to NPD Group, Inc. This group enjoys food prep and places great value on simplicity and nutrition. Growing consumer interest in personal nutrition led to the development of products from the FoodSaver®, Oster® and Mr. Coffee® brands, which allow consumers to personalize their nutrition solutions. Coming in 2015:

• Preserve nutritional foods longer, manage portion control, and save money in the New Year with the only FoodSaver® system that preserves foods for both the long and short term. Providing the functionality and convenience of two vacuum sealing appliances in one, the FoodSaver® V4925/V4980 2-in-1 Vacuum Sealer works with FoodSaver® heat seal rolls and pre-cut quart and gallon size bags for long-term freezer storage, and, with its retractable handheld sealer, FoodSaver® and FreshSaver® containers, canisters, and quart or gallon vacuum zipper bags can be sealed for short-term food preservation. In addition, a quick marinate mode infuses food with flavor in minutes instead of hours. The FoodSaver® system keeps food fresh up to five times longer than traditional methods, helps prevent freezer burn, and saves families up to $2,700 a year*. *Based on buying in bulk and on sale and preventing waste. (MSRP: $149.99-$199.99)
• From the #1 brand in blenders, the Oster® ALL NEW MyBlend® Pro Personal Blender is a 350-watt nutrition extraction system that transforms whole foods into nutrient-packed drinks in seconds. Designed to suit active, fast-paced lifestyles, this blender features quick and convenient one touch blending to create smoothies, protein shakes, and more whether at home, on a run, or at the office. Ultra-portable and commuter-friendly, the 20-oz sports bottle features a lid clip and snap closure, double-walled bottle insulation to keep drinks colder longer, and perfect size to fit in the car drink holder! BPA-free. Dishwasher safe. (MSRP: $39.99)
• A personal, on-the-go coffeemaker that delivers superior tasting java, the Mr. Coffee® Personal, On-The-Go Coffeemaker brews coffee grounds directly into a personal and colorful 16-oz insulated travel mug for a quick, on-the-go solution. Coffee on-the-go never tasted so good! A colorful addition to any kitchen, apartment or dorm, the travel mug is also interchangeable with the Oster® MyBlend® Personal Blender (above). Available in Blue, Lime, Tangerine, Fuchsia and Black. Removable, dishwasher safe personal filter basket. (MSRP: $29.99)
