Medgadget is on my weekly visit list. Lots of gee-whiz, nuts 'n bolts stuff that has actually passed regulatory certs and now on the market.

Sweat science is absolutely my favourite blog covering science and exercise. It's the best! Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

Do you mean where technology and health intersect? Or the two fields? Please clarify.

For keeping up to date on heart health research: The Heart Scan Blog

For general health news I read paper editions of Prevention magazine and Woman's World. Sorry, cannot find links that make the information easy to read online even though they have websites, so I cannot recommend their websites yet.

Ted.com and my favourite summary talk of cool stuff that's coming out in the Tech/Health field: Daniel Kraft
