CES 2018’s wonderful health devices
L’Oreal presented their wearable UV sensor with dimensions of 2x9 mm only. This mini UV sensor can be worn on the fingernail or even sunglasses to measure UV exposure. Warnings are then given out via an app that comes with the sensor. Samsung announced their latest smart refrigerator which recommends recipes according to your family’s preferences or allergies. Along with that, it has cameras installed inside that visualize the ingredients present and recommend recipes accordingly.
Omron’s HeartGuide is another medical product that was introduced in CES this year. It is a medically graded blood pressure sensor. Some of the other products that were introduced this year include Mouthguard by Prevent Biometrics to detect concussions. A smart suit by Swim.com for amateur and professional swimmers alike to track record of their swim workouts. It can potentially help them have a critical analysis of their technique and improve form accordingly.

From cosmetics to the health industry, each sector is being targeted by these smart wearable gadgets. They are designed to make the lives of the consumer comfortable and provide statistical insight for improvement. Although, some critics believe it’s just too much influx of unnecessary information which doesn’t bear fruit. Whichever side you support, one thing is for sure that we can’t neglect their existence and importance in today’s world.
