I'm going to have to say wearable tech, even if it is becoming a bit cliche. Not necessarily products like Google Glass, but there are plenty of applications that can massively improve the users life, or help save it. In hospitals and old people's homes for example, watches that monitor heart rates, necklaces to check vital signs etc. I'm no Doctor but I imagine a way to constantly monitor the condition of a potentially at risk person without them having to lie in bed hooked up to a huge machine will be pretty useful.

I've been looking forward to this. I can't wait until many lab tests are unnecessary because we have our own continuous medical monitoring occurring all the time.
