FedEx today unveiled the SenseAware, a drop-in sensor for packages that provides real-time temperature, light exposure, accelerometer data to detect drops and GPS location data to within a few feet. FedEx will use this tracking device to transport medical packages including organs and surgical supplies allowing doctors to track the package via the web and know exactly when the organs will arrive so they can prepare for surgery. The SenseAware is packed with several technologies including a GPS receiver, an accelerometer, a digital thermometer, a cellular transmitter, and a light sensor. This BlackBerry-sized sensor costs $120 a month. [FastCompany]
