Health is the big winner of the innovations identified at the last CES 2021

CES in Las Vegas has always been a large consumer-oriented trade fair since its inception. Initially, there was talk of toasters, washing machines… Today, even if some innovations are a bit gimmicky, the market is heavy. We are talking about 450 billion turnover expected in 2021 in this consumer electronics market.

For the first time, this year in 2021 no one was able to walk through the various halls of this gigantic event, as large as 36 football pitches. This session took place exclusively online, due to the health context.

The innovations expected this year proposed technological advances to better cope with the constraints linked to this pandemic. The fields of health, teleworking and home entertainment have seen the emergence of major innovations which have often been awarded the title of “Best Of Innovation”.

We will let fans of the latest products discover the new television screens, smartphones or refrigerators connected to Le Monde or CNET France, for example, as well as all the services that will be provided by the deployment of 5G.

Each year, the healthcare world takes advantage of increasingly powerful technological capabilities, sensors and other cameras on smartphones to provide individuals and patients with high-performance tools for diagnostic assistance or new dematerialized solutions. . This year, without great surprise, a major place was left to any device that could improve the management of the health crisis.

Among these, we will remember:

The BioButton is an example of what technology can do at home. This patch, about 3 centimeters in diameter, sticks to the skin on the chest and can constantly monitor your health. The sensor detects your body temperature, heart and lung rate and can even know when you are sleeping. This device can even be useful for monitoring patients with Covid-19, or who have been vaccinated. Several American research centers and hospitals are already using it to monitor these patients. The Food and Drug Administration, the US drug agency, has approved the patch for use by individuals at home.

A connected watch intended to remotely monitor the state of health of the elderly, a smart mirror that analyzes your skin and your health, a patch capable of detecting the symptoms of Covid 19, or a robot equipped with a UV-C lamp , which disinfects hospitals or schools but can be adapted to offices or workshops. You can find on this link, the whole selection of these health innovations. The CES 2021 site remains online until February 15 to facilitate contacts.

The path to health was not limited to COVID-19 tools, but also to the presentation of devices that can facilitate the diagnosis and remote monitoring of certain chronic pathologies.

For example, we find the Epsy application. Available for iOS and Android, it is intended for patients. It simplifies the management of epilepsy by creating a diary that analyzes data to track seizures, treatment tracking and triggers. Patient-recorded data is analyzed for trends and patterns, which helps patients with epilepsy better understand their condition and improve their quality of life. The whole is analyzed on the digital platform Epsy Health which allows patients, caregivers and health professionals to simplify the management of epilepsy.

Another technological medical solution that allows pre-diagnosis, The VROR Eye DR VR headset. Like a virtual reality headset, it stimulates the eyes while tracking sensors detect eye movements. This allows, thanks to algorithms, to make an ophthalmic examination of the patient. The exam data is available on a mobile phone through a mobile application.

These innovations in the field of health are driven both by physical media, mobile phone, sensor, camera, but also by the data collected and analyzed. These allow better individualized monitoring of each person or patient.

These innovations show the dynamics of the health sector.
However, the CES is not the only place where innovations come from. Luminess has developed a digital pre-admission solution that is attracting strong interest from French people with more than 80% wanting to test it (Source Opinion Way)
