The Bot Care can measure users’ blood pressure, heart rate, respiration and sleeping state. It is also capable of reminding them when it’s time to take their medicine. The technology was revealed at the annual show in Las Vegas, which this year runs from 7 to 11 January. It brings together a number of consumer technology companies to showcase latest products.
SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band – a sensor which is worn in a band around the snorer’s chest and continuously measures sleep behaviour to prevent the wearer from turning onto his or her back Among the other companies using the show to unveil new consumer health technology was Philips. It previewed its SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band – a sensor which is worn in a band around the snorer’s chest and continuously measures sleep behaviour to prevent the wearer from turning onto his or her back. It can detect a change in position and prompts the wearer to stay and sleep on their side. Two gadgets that analyse people’s breath to tell them how to improve their diet were also showcased at CES. Lumen and FoodMarble pair with smartphone apps after users blow into them. FoodMarble works by analysing hydrogen levels in the breath to determine how food is digesting, a technique already used by doctors.
