The device is awaiting FDA approval and is expected to be available in the US in late 2023 for $99.

Arterya revealed its Blood’Up device that bids goodbye to painful artery sampling

Arterya’s Blood’Up is a medical device that allows painless artery sampling for blood gas analysis. Existing arterial blood gas analysis methods can be stressful for both patients and doctors, and around 30% of the 12 million blood gas recipients in France fail in artery sampling, leading to loss of money and time. Blood’Up addresses this issue and makes the process of blood gas analysis less stressful and more efficient.

OMRON Healthcare announced its vision “Going for Zero” for zero heart attacks and strokes

To achieve its vision, OMRON Healthcare announced a range of products and services like

  • Upper-arm blood pressure monitor with built-in ECG to detect AFib
  • Features like Personal Heart Health Coach and Care Team in its OMRON connect app
  • Viso, a new multi-disease remote patient monitoring platform in the UK

HARMAN unveiled its Intelligent Healthcare Platform to revolutionise patient care with AI and machine learning

HARMAN’s new comprehensive digital health platform is designed to help healthcare and life sciences enterprises deliver personalised, customer-centric services. The platform uses AI and ML for predictive analytics and gives actionable insights on data from disparate sources.

TouchPoint Solutions showed off its patented BLAST technology to reduce stress

TouchPoint Solutions has developed digital health wearables that use BLAST (Bi-Lateral Alternating Stimulation Tactile) technology, a patented algorithm of gentle micro-vibrations, to reduce stress by 70% in 30 seconds. Clinical trials have shown the technology to be effective in reducing stress, anxiety, sleep issues, ADHD, autism, PTSD, epilepsy, and Parkinson’s disease. The wearable is non-invasive and improves focus, returning the body to a state of focus and control by reducing the natural fight-or-flight response caused by stress.

Bodyfriend showed off its innovative massage chair to eliminate neck and back pain

Bodyfriend, a South Korean company, developed a massage chair that alleviates neck and back pain. The chair uses kneading, heat, and electromagnetic waves to target sore muscles and reduces discomfort. These features work together to provide relief and help improve posture for those who spend long hours sitting at a desk.

Hanyang University showed off its AI-powered eye healthcare device prototype

EyeFit is an eye health management device that uses machine vision and AI technology for accurate analysis of eye movements to improve eye health. It provides patient-specific data and management options through a mobile device, improving the accuracy and accessibility of eye care. With a 98% accuracy rate, it is developed via a self-developed machine-learning system and machine vision hardware.

Candibell revealed its Toothbrush connected oral care system

Toothbrush is the world’s first multi-tenant, fully automatic and universal solution for seamless toothbrush tracking, with embedded social networking for improved personal performance. The system attaches to any toothbrush, passively mapping the brushing routine and transmitting the data to a hub connecting every tracker in a household. The accompanying app allows users to view their brushing habits, set goals and create friend groups to share progress and motivation. It also allows parents to monitor their children’s brushing.

iMediSync unveiled its intelligent headset that predicts cognitive health risks in just 10 minutes

iSyncWave is a headset developed by iMediSync that uses AI and EEG to predict the risk of cognitive issues, such as Alzheimer’s disease, within 10 minutes. Like the Sorting Hat in the Harry Potter series, the device sits atop the head and performs a quick analysis to provide diagnostic results. It has the potential to significantly reduce the financial cost and time required for such tests and may also be used for therapies for neurodegenerative diseases in the future.

Ashirase showed off its wearable navigation system for visually impaired individuals

Ashirase is a wearable navigation system designed to assist visually impaired individuals with walking. The system includes a smartphone app and an in-shoe vibration device equipped with a motion sensor.
