CES is back again with scores of new consumer tech products in tow, and digital health is no exception. Players big and small to Las Vegas each year to unveil and promote devices, whether they be focused on health monitoring, restful sleeping, fitness, infant care, hygiene or otherwise.
Read on below for a running list of digital health product announcements from this year's trade show, which MobiHealthNews will be updating with additional entries as the week continues.
French company URGOTECH launched its new sleep-focused product URGOnight. The new offering, which includes an EEG headband and app, was developed to help users with daytime sleep training. The technology uses neruofeedback therapy to train the brain to produce brainwaves associated with sleep. The system is intended to be used 20 minutes a day, three days a week.
“Seventy million Americans have issues falling and staying asleep making it a huge problem for health technology to address,” Guirec Le Lous, founder of URGOTECH, said in an email to MobiHealthNews. “Most sleep tech solutions concentrate on monitoring sleep patterns during the night to make lifestyle recommendations to change behavior. URGOnight ... is a system used during the day to help people induce sleep naturally by helping them train the brain to produce the brainwaves clinically associated with sleep. It treats the root cause rather than the symptoms of poor sleep, and unlike other sleep aids does so with long-lasting results and no side effects.”
IEVA has launched a new smartwatch that helps users monitor environmentall factors, like pollution and sun exposure, as well as activity. The wearable, which is marketed as both a health and beauty product, will also give users education about how environmental factors contribute to aging. The technology monitors ambient temperature, humidity, sun exposure, luminosity, noise, indoor and outdoor pollution levels, heat rate and activity.
“There are many ways in which pollution affects the skin. It can cause the skin to become dehydrated, clogged, sensitive and irritated as well to be less supple, tone and radiant,” Jean Karam, chairman and CEO of IEVA, wrote in an email to MobiHealthNews. “This is where Time-C can help. The device monitors environments to provide users with insights into their surroundings and their impacts on their health, wellness, skin and more. The technology also uses this information to provide users with recommendations, tips and tools they can use to combat pollution and their surrounding elements."
Elvie, a London-based femtech company, announced a new insights analysis feature for its smart breast pumps that will provide users with a data-based breakdown of their pumping sessions. Through the connected app, users can receive an overview on their total time spent using the pump, total volume of milk pumped and the average volume of milk expressed during 10-minute sessions. The company noted that it is looking to further update the feature with more longitudinal pumping data analyses.
French digital health company Withings has unveiled its ScanWatch wearable, which will include an ECG and Sp02 sensor.
The watch comes with a PPG sensor, which will continuously monitor the user's heart rate and alert users if there is an irregularity. If any issues are detected, the watch will prompt the user to take an ECG reading. Watch wearers can read the ECG on the screen of their watch or in the watch’s accompanying Health Mate app. The app can store the reading and any notes that go along with the reading. Meanwhile the Sp02 feature will be able to measure oxygen continuously and help identify sleep apnea.
Currently the technology’s ECG feature is being reviewed by the FDA, and the company expects clearance sometime in Q2.
Lumi by Pampers — a collaboration between the diaper company, Verily and Logitech — is an infant monitoring system that combines an HD video, audio, temperature and humidity tracker; an activity tracker that attaches to special diapers; and a connected app. The platform provides parents with a quick read on their child's sleep, diaper activity, feeding and more, and includes in-app educational content developed in partnership with pediatricians and baby development groups.
EEG headband maker Muse is back with another version of its sleep and meditation product, the Muse S. Although it shares many similar features with its less costly predecessors, the new connected headset is lighter, has a longer battery life, wraps a comfort-fit fabric around the whole head and most notably supports the company's "Go-to-Sleep Journeys" — responsive voice and sound-based audio programs that help lull the wearer into rest.
Singular Hearing is releasing a new artificial intelligence-powered hearing app dubbed HeardThat. The app uses and algorithm to help separate speech from background noise.
“Machine learning algorithms require too much processing power to run on hearing aids or other small devices,” Bruce Sharpe, founder and CEO Singular Hearing, said in a statement. “By leveraging the smartphone, our HeardThat App is freed from hardware constraints and so can do much more. And because it is an agile and flexible software solution, HeardThat can be quickly and continually improved upon.”
The Mateo Smart Bathroom Mat connects to a smartphone or connected mirror coaching app to help individuals monitor their weight and posture. Using "medical-grade pressure sensing technology," the system is able to recognize individual users and their histories to better recommend nutrition pointers and exercises.

Alongside makeup application features, the mirror tracks and analyzes the user's skin health, encourages teeth brushing and other hygiene activities, and supports the health monitoring features other CareOS smart home products.

Royal Philips hit the showfloor with new products focused on infant care and sleep health. Chief among the former is Baby+, a free app that parents can use to track the growth and development of their child while receiving development stage-specific advice on their care.
On the sleep from, the company has unveiled the second generation of its SmartSleep Deep Sleep Headband. The device's standout features include a smaller and lighter designed, updated app, soothing sounds to help the user fall asleep and a smart alarm that awakens them during an ideal phase of their sleep cycle.
