Ten Health and Aging Tech offerings from CES 2025

One might think that the Consumer Electronics Show is about consumer electronics. 

Not really. It is about tech concepts and possibilities, and possibly new or near-term products, that can lead to future products and/or distribution in the market. Whether in TVs, cars, drones, wearables, accessibility tech, home appliances or headsets, this international show with its 150,000 attendees has an ‘AI Everywhere’ (surprise!) theme. Attendees help both startups and established players to gain media and market attention and maybe even meet a few distribution partners or funders.  Here are 10 from this year’s show:     

Before Health Intelligence. “Our app, Antshrike, is a risk stratification app entirely based on passively collected biometric data that allows a timely prediction of critical cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack within a range of a few days. This enables app users to seek medical attention ahead of the events, resulting in a significantly better prognosis and a far lower probability of mortality."  Learn more at Before Health Intelligence.

CELLIANT infrared bedding. "This IR tech harnesses body heat, converting it into IR energy, and returning it to the body, where it increases local circulation and cellular oxygenation. IR is particularly beneficial for older individuals because of its ability to increase local circulation. Conditions such as diabetes and age-related mobility issues may benefit from improved circulation. Additionally, as the aging population tends to struggle with sleep, CELLIANT-infused bedding improves thermoregulation, enhances recovery, and helps promote restful sleep to address sleep quality challenges."

High Privacy AI Digital Caregiver. "The High-Privacy AI Digital Caregiver, co-developed by ITRI and Streamteck, is an advanced remote monitoring system that uses thermal imaging and millimeter wave radar technologies to detect patients’ vital signs and activities with hospital-level accuracy while maintaining privacy. The system tracks bed exits, falls, and prolonged inactivity, and promptly alerts caregivers through a mobile app when abnormalities are detected. With its compact design, it is best suited for clinics, wards, nursing homes, and homes, offering a cost-effective telemedicine solution.” Learn more at MPO-mag.com.

MiiHealth Monica. "MiiHealth built a chronic conditions management platform that helps both younger and older adults improve their lifestyle and extend their health span. MiiCube gathers and analyzes over 70 types of data from the home to provide actionable insights for personalized care plans. Monica, our virtual health careassistant, that supports self-care with timely reminders and encouragement." Learn more at MiiHealth.ai.

MudraLink neural wristband. "Wearable Devices Ltd. Announces Mudra® Link, the first neural wristband for Android, macOS and Windows devices. This achievement marks the Company’s continued expansion as the industry pioneer in wearable gesture control, following the new device’s CES® 2025 Innovation Awards recognition in the XR Technologies & Accessories category. The Mudra Surface Nerve Conductance sensors pick up electromyography signals from subtle finger movements, translating them into intuitive commands for a wide range of devices and applications, including augmented reality (AR) glasses, smart TV streamers, mobile phone, tablet and personal computers, and smart home control." Learn more at Mudra Link.

Roborock Saros Z70. "The company has added a mechanical robotic arm called OmniGrip, which can deploy itself to pick up and remove obstacles that previously caused the cleaning process to pause. Plus, the device features Roborock’s new StarSight Autonomous System 2.0 for more precise navigation and mapping OmniGrip can pick up and remove objects weighing up to 300 grams, including small items such as socks, tissue paper, and towels. The Saros Z70 performs regular cleaning duties while marking and detecting objects it can lift along the way, then returns later to clean missed areas. While this might not be the fastest method, it addresses areas that were previously problematic." Learn more at Forbes.

Rendever Alcove Sanctuary. "Alcove Sanctuary is designed to feel like a home away from home. People can customize their sanctuary with shared photos and uploaded videos, travel the world, revisit meaningful places, meditate in nature, listen to classical music, and engage with a new family-friendly AI companion, Nova. At the heart of the magic is Nova, which makes VR accessible for all ages by combining the roles of companion and guide into one charming, robotic friend.  Nova learns and adapts to each family member's interests and stories, recognizes emotional moments, and helps preserve meaningful memories that can be shared across generations through a collaborative memory box." Learn more at Rendever.

Seekr. "Seekr, developed by Vidi Labs, is a first-of-its-kind compact AI wearable device ever to be designed FOR, and WITH the visually-impaired community. Deviating from medical and bulky looking form factors, we pack our machine learning algorithm into a camera equipped clip-on device no bigger than a match box, which collects visual data and sends a curated audio feed of information to users through any Bluetooth-enabled earpiece." Learn more at Vidi Labs.

Withing’s BPM Vision. "BPM Vision is particularly designed for non-tech-savvy elderly users, ensuring accurate readings that are both consistent and reliable for blood pressure and hypertension management. It features a large, color high-resolution screen for easy-to-read results and provides on-device step-by-step educational instructions, reminders, and motivational nudges. It includes advanced features like reliable monitoring of systolic and diastolic blood pressure, aiding in the detection and control of hypertension. The results include color-coded feedback on both readings and to confirm if a measurement has been taken correctly." Learn more at Withings.

XanderGlasses Connect. "This is a wearable assistive technology designed to help people who struggle to hear or understand speech. Our first product, XanderGlasses, translates speech to text in real-time and projects accurate captions for the wearer. Our new product XG Connect adds functionality and features: AI text transformers to help wearers with cognitive challenges, captioning of environmental sounds (not just speech), 26 languages, cloud-based translation between languages, and a smartphone app for personalization. XanderGlasses Connect allows wearers to capture and store conversations which is helpful for seniors who want to record a medical or legal appointment to share information with family." Learn more at Xander.
