Best CES 2021 Gadgets Part 2: Improving Your Body

Participants at the Consumer Electronics Show each year broaden their traditional understanding of health monitoring and gadgets. The trend is popular, and startups are trying to introduce technologies into those areas of life where you don’t even expect them.

The second review of the novelties of the virtual CES 2021, we devoted to products for improving the human body. Let’s see how soon a Tamagotchi alarm clock, a Kevlar capsule for kids and a self-heating lunchbox will come into our lives.

Anti-stress device Cove

  • with the help of vibrations, it affects the part of the brain responsible for emotions (improves sleep and reduces stress);

  • the benefits are proven by clinical trials;

  • can be used during any activity;

  • controlled from a smartphone.

The Cove Hoop is another device that promises to relieve its wearer of stress. However, the gadget differs from similar devices: it acts on the brain using vibration, rather than transcranial stimulation (tDCS). Put on the device, and it vibrates gently behind your ears, stimulating the areas of the brain responsible for regulating emotions. The developers claim that 20 minutes a day is enough to reduce stress and improve sleep. The hoop can be used without interrupting work and activities. Alas, we could not, for obvious reasons, test this in practice.

Flo seasonal allergy control device

  • fights seasonal allergy symptoms with light therapy;

  • quickly relieves symptoms such as a clogged nose, fatigue, irritation;

  • no side effects;

  • easy to use.

Isolation had one plus: Allergy sufferers who had spent the past spring and summer locked up were much less affected by pollen. Probably, in 2021, masks will become the main way to fight the pandemic, and this is where our brother will be in trouble, because the mask accumulates pollen. Flo’s gadget will help: This device, similar to a package of a cold spray, fights histamine with photobiomodulation. In other words, it shines in the nose with light of the visible red and near infrared ranges. There are no side effects, but the result, according to the testers of the device, is.

Issue price: less than $ 100.

Electric Toothbrush Y-BRUSH

  • cleaning takes 10 seconds, and the effect is as of 3 minutes;

  • brush head design in the form of a mouth guard, all teeth are cleaned at the same time;

  • the vibration frequency is 250 Hz.

First, in 2017, a toothbrush with an Amabrush tray appeared on Kickstarter: it brushed all teeth at once. Maybe there were similar devices before, but they were drowned in information noise. According to the page of the startup, formerly known as FasTeesH, its founder Benjamin Cohen thought about such a device back in 2015. After the rebranding, the project became known as the Y-Brush, and this is an electric brush already on the market. It cleans the entire jaw, not the segment, and spends more time on each tooth: 5 seconds versus 4 seconds, as with a conventional brush. Plus, the brush automatically mimics Bass’s correct teeth cleaning method. Sounds promising, and the Y-Brush team argues that it cleans well and competing products do poorly. We take your word for it!

Heatbox self-heating lunchbox

  • heats food inside with steam;

  • there is an application and a choice of heating modes;

  • “Scandinavian” minimalistic design.

On paper, the Heatbox lunchbox looks like the perfect gadget for someone looking to lose weight or lead a healthy lifestyle. This is a 750 ml food box that heats its contents with steam. The gadget is charged via USB-C (here it is, the future!), And 20 milliliters of water are poured into a separate compartment. Press the button, you get a water bath on demand, and a hot lunch. True, the filled structure can weigh up to 2 kilograms. Too much! But if you are ready to snack on broccoli and chicken breast instead of latte and pizza, then the extra load will not scare you.

Lioness smart vibrator

  • measures and analyzes orgasms using sensors and AI;

  • the app records sessions and allows you to see how sleep, alcohol and stress affect your sex life;

  • helps to improve the quality of orgasms.

Lioness is a “rabbit” vibrator that is crammed with sensors. Functions like a regular “magic wand”, but at the same time records the rhythmic pattern of the movement of the pelvic floor. Then the vibrator is connected to the smartphone, the application analyzes the session and analyzes what influenced the orgasm or lack thereof: partner, alcohol, mood, stress, and so on.

… Yes, apparently, this vibrator can recommend the user to change not only the posture, but also the partner.

The application can send anonymized measurement results for further research. But this is an opt-in program: if you do not want to share so much personal data, then the vibrator will not stop working.

“Ecrins”, in French, are boxes for valuables. This is what the startup Kidventure calls multisport trailers for young children. Parents can carry the durable carbon fiber capsule with them on bikes and possibly skis. Now babies do not have to be left to grandparents while on vacation. Ecrins monitor children much better: they monitor the temperature inside the capsule, allow you to keep in touch with it, protect from shocks and falls, and in addition filter the air, trapping viruses and other pathogens at the exit. Impressive.
