This year’s health highlights, including a heart-tracking lightbulb, a smart bathtub, and a musical air purifier.
The annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas is a great place to spot new trends in health and fitness, and CES 2022 is no exception. We’ve already seen two new sports watches from Garmin, a smart cooling mattress topper to beat night sweats, and Oral-B’s smartest electric toothbrush to date – but CES is also a place for new and strange gadgets to get their moment in the spotlight, and these are this year’s highlights. We’ll be keeping this list updated as the show goes on, adding any new oddities as they’re unveiled. Sure, your regular lightbulbs stop you wandering around in the dark and maybe even change color to suit your mood, but is that enough? The latest overachieving bulb from smart lighting company Sengled doesn’t just brighten you room, it also uses radar to monitor your sleep, heart rate, and body temperature. That might sound excessive (after all, your Fitbit can do all that, and is likely more accurate) but it means there’s no need to remember to charge and wear a watch, and the company says that, when used in a network, the bulbs could even detect if a person has fallen down.
