CES 2026 turned Las Vegas into a living lab where mirrors guess your lifespan, toilets analyze urine, and menstrual pads double as fertility tests. News Of Los Angeles reporters rounded up the most talked-about wellness gadgets poised to land in homes next year.
> At a Glance
> – NuraLogix Longevity Mirror scores heart, stress, metabolic health and “biological age” from a 30-second selfie
> – Vivoo FlowPad uses period blood to test ovarian reserve, fertility markers and menopause-related hormones
> – Luna Band screen-free wrist sensor answers health questions aloud and skips subscriptions entirely
> – Why it matters: Everyday objects-from mirrors to toilets-are becoming at-home medical devices, raising new questions about privacy, accuracy and when to call a doctor
Mirrors, Scales and Masks That Judge How You Age
The Longevity Mirror by NuraLogix drew selfie-snapping crowds. A quick scan of facial blood-flow patterns spits out scores for heart health, mental stress, cardiovascular risk, metabolism and biological age on a 0-100 scale. Up to six family profiles can be stored, letting parents and kids compare snapshots over time.
Withings countered with its Body Scan 2 smart scale that logs 60-plus biomarkers-heart rate, nerve activity, cellular health-and flags anomalies before symptoms appear.
L’Oréal’s booth pushed beauty aging tech: an LED Face Mask that claims firmer skin via red-light therapy and a multi-styler that straightens hair while infrared LEDs aim to reduce heat damage.
Kitchen to Bathroom: Food Scanners and Smart Toilets
Garmin’s Connect Plus app added meal logging, while Abbott’s Libre Assist AI predicts post-meal glucose spikes for diabetics. A prototype Amazfit V1tal Food Camera sits on tables, photographs each bite, timestamps meals and syncs nutrition data to Zepp.
Allergy sufferers eyed Allergen Alert, a pocket lab chefs are beta-testing. Drop in a crumb; within minutes it signals if gluten or dairy is present. Makers plan to expand to nuts, shellfish and other triggers.
In bathrooms:
- Vivoo Smart Toilet suction attachment analyzes hydration from 1,000 flushes per strip
- Vovo Smart Toilet embeds a urine sensor and shows results on a wall-mounted monitor; an optional “Jindo the dog” mode pings family if the toilet goes unused for 8-10 hours
- Withings U-Scan Nutrio performs 20-plus tests per cartridge, fewer than Vivoo’s but already on the market
Wearables That Ditch Screens and Fees
The Luna Band arrives without a display, app subscription or data paywall. Sensors track vitals; an onboard LifeOS voice assistant answers “Why did my sleep tank last night?” Stats stream through earbuds or phone and integrate with Apple Health and Google Fit.
Stareep’s SmartSleep ecosystem-a mattress plus adjustable base-collects sleep data and autonomously tweaks firmness, elevation and ambient audio to deepen rest without user input.
Cramp Relief and Flow-Based Labs
Female-focused devices stole part of the spotlight. OhmBody is an earpiece that uses neuro-stimulation of the trigeminal and vagus nerves to dull period cramps non-invasively.
Vivoo FlowPad builds a lab strip into a menstrual pad. Once used, the pad’s bottom tab is scanned; the Vivoo app returns data on ovarian reserve, fertility hormones and menopause progression.
Peri wearable, stuck to the torso, detects hot flashes, night sweats and anxiety spells in real time, logging them for clinicians instead of relying on patient recall.
| Device | What it tests | Unique feature |
|---|---|---|
| Longevity Mirror | Heart, stress, biological age | 30-sec selfie scan |
| Body Scan 2 | 60 biomarkers | Early anomaly alerts |
| FlowPad | Ovarian health, fertility, hormones | Uses period blood |
| Luna Band | Standard vitals | Voice-first, no subscription |
| Allergen Alert | Gluten/dairy (more soon) | Pocket-size lab |
Key Takeaways
- Everyday objects-mirrors, toilets, hair tools-are becoming medical-grade trackers
- Subscription fatigue meets its match in the Luna Band and Vivoo’s 1,000-test toilet strip
- Women’s health got multiple firsts: ear-based cramp relief and pad-integrated hormone tests
- Privacy and accuracy remain open questions as health tech migrates into the most personal spaces
From bedroom to bathroom, CES 2026 made one thing clear: if you can use it, someone wants to sensor-enable it. Whether these gadgets morph into must-haves or privacy nightmares will depend on real-world testing-and whether doctors buy into the data flood.
