At a Glance
- Toilet cameras from Kohler, Throne and Vivoo analyze waste for hydration and gut health
- NuraLogix Longevity Mirror predicts biological age from a single selfie
- Abbott and Garmin add AI meal tracking; pocket lab tests food for gluten or dairy in minutes
- Why it matters: Health monitoring is moving from wearables to everyday objects-raising privacy questions and promising earlier health warnings
Health technology at CES 2026 is no longer content to sit on your wrist. This year it marched into the bathroom, the bedroom, the kitchen table and even the toilet bowl. News Of Losangeles‘s team sifted through the booths and returned with a list of wellness devices that aim to track, test and tweak every moment of daily life.
Your Toilet Tells All
Camera-equipped toilets stole the show. Kohler and Throne already market bowls that photograph waste to flag hydration or gut issues. Vivoo, the company behind the FlowPad urinalysis strip, now offers the Vivoo Smart Toilet-a suction-cup adapter that dips into the stream, logs hydration data and beams results to the Vivoo app. One cartridge survives 1,000 tests, far outpacing Withings’ U-Scan Nutrio cartridge rated for 20-plus uses.
For buyers who want a full fixture, the Vovo Smart Toilet builds a urine sensor directly into the porcelain. A wall-mounted monitor displays readings, and a “Jindo the dog” mode pings a registered relative if the commode sits unused for 8-10 hours, targeting senior safety.
Mirrors, Scales and Masks That Judge Your Age
NuraLogix’s Longevity Mirror scores heart health, stress, cardio risk, metabolic status and biological age from a 30-second selfie that maps facial blood flow. Up to six family profiles can be stored so relatives can compare stats.
Withings counters with the Body Scan 2 smart scale, which captures more than 60 biomarkers-heart rate, nerve activity and cellular health-and flags anomalies before symptoms appear.
L’Oréal’s new LED Face Mask promises firmer skin via red and near-infrared light, while the Light Straight Plus Multi-Styler uses infrared to cut heat damage during hair styling.
Food Scanners and Pocket Labs
Garmin’s Connect Plus app now logs nutrition alongside workouts. Abbott’s Libre Assist uses AI to warn people with diabetes how a pictured meal might swing glucose. Amazfit previewed the V1tal Food Camera, a table-top device that watches plate contents, timing and eating speed, then syncs data to the Zepp app.
Chefs are trialing Allergen Alert, a pocket-size lab that detects gluten or dairy in minutes from a single food sample; more allergens are planned.
Period Pain, Hormones and Menopause
OhmBody’s earpiece delivers neurostimulation to the trigeminal and vagus nerves to dull period cramps without pills.
Vivoo’s FlowPad embeds a lab strip in a menstrual pad; period blood is scanned for ovarian health, fertility markers and hormones-useful for menopause or perimenopause tracking.
The Peri wearable sticks to the torso and auto-detects night sweats, hot flashes and anxiety, replacing manual symptom diaries. Data is uploaded for AI analysis.
Screen-Free Trackers
The Luna Band has no display and no subscription. Sensors track vitals and the onboard LifeOS engine accepts voice notes. Stats can be read aloud through earbuds or a phone and sync with Apple Health and Google Fit.
Stareep’s SmartSleep ecosystem-a mattress plus adjustable base-collects sleep data and automatically tweaks elevation, firmness, sound and temperature without user input.
Key Takeaways
- Health tech is embedding itself in toilets, mirrors, mattresses and even menstrual pads.
- Camera-based waste analysis and AI meal logging promise early warnings but raise privacy concerns.
- New devices target women’s health with hormone-sensing pads and menopause-detecting wearables.
- Screen-free options like the Luna Band and Stareep mattress aim to cut digital overload while still tracking metrics.
Whether these products become indispensable aids or anxiety-inducing snoops will depend on accuracy, data security and-critically-whether users still consult doctors when the algorithms sound an alarm.
