Alyssa Clark- Top 5 high-tech health trends to watch in 2014

1. Personal Health Monitoring- As the market for wearable devices and health apps grow, so too will the mountain of data about our behaviors and vitals
2. Smart Clothes- We're going to see technology integrated directly into our clothing — first through sensors, but eventually it will be weaved into the fibers
3. Augmented Nutrition- Popular apps like MyFoodJournal, CalorieCounter, Fooducate and more have tirelessly counted the thousands of calories that we ingest on a daily basis
4. Virtual Health Calls (general telemedicine)- The push in 2014 will now bring more doctors in the homes of patients through the help of telemedicine and telehealth
5. Health Rewards- It has recently been reported by companies like Towers Watson, that two-thirds of companies today are guaranteeing financial payoffs for embracing wellness policies
