What's New, What's Hot is Travel Weekly's look at useful and fun travel gadgets, edited by Joe Rosen. First up, the GoSleep Travel System. Travelers in cramped circumstances may have found relief from sleepless hours and stiff necks in this two-in-one product. It comprises a memory foam pillow and a unique sleep mask designed to prevent the head-bobbing that jolts you awake just as you are falling asleep. Also included are a zippered carrying case and an elastic cord and toggles to secure the mask to a seat or adjustable headrest.

For health-conscious travelers, this clever device is designed to monitor and transmit all key indicators of one's cardiovascular state of health. Users place one finger over the monitor's optical sensor while placing a finger from the other hand on its stainless steel front surface. Using red and infrared lights, along with an EKG sensor, the Moca Heart Monitor, according to its manufacturer, measures the electrical activity of the heart, blood oxygen levels and blood velocity (which is fairly consistent, according to Moca, with blood pressure).

Eight wheels, including larger, double rear ones for when being up and tilted on two wheels would make negotiating an airport or hotel lobby easier, are among the attributes that sets this piece of luggage from Lat_56 apart from the competition. In addition to its high-level mobility, the Road Warrior has a detachable, water-resistant shoe/laundry bag; an interior with multiple pockets featuring external access; and a rugged, but light-weight (8.1-pound) body. The suitcase's dimensions are an IATA cabin OK'd 21.5 by 13.5 by 7.5 inches.

Of course, most hotels and motels provide in-room safes, but it never hurts the security-conscious traveler to carry along a portable, personal lock box that can be secured by its own 1/4-inch-thick steel cable around fixed objects. The Safego makes a perfect fit for securing personal items such as a wallet, cell phone and/or camera while at home or away. The case is made of impact-resistant ABS plastic; the lock mechanism, which can be opened by key or combination, is made of a rust-resistant, nickel-plated zinc alloy.

If you are wearing a Wazoo Survival Adventure Bracelet on your wrist, you'll be prepared to weather many an unexpected emergency. Among the features of the bracelet are a paracord, a liquid-filled compass, a ceramic knife, surgical tubing, fishing line and hooks, a whistle, a signal mirror, a glow light and safety pins. The bracelet, which is reasonably comfortable to wear all things considered, requires prospective buyers to follow specific wrist-fitting instructions and carries a caveat for those allergic to latex.
