From revolutionary wearable devices to non-invasive diagnostics, CES 2025 highlights the innovations shaping a smarter, healthier future.

What does the future of wellness look like? With the arrival of CES, or the Consumer Electronics Show, coming in just a few weeks we will see hundreds of products that claim to be on the cutting-edge of healthcare. As the world’s largest technology exhibition, this year’s showcase promises major innovations; from headphones that use your brain waves to control devices, to the potential to never see another needle again. Which products will truly transform our lives, and which will struggle to meet the hype? We will take a more in-depth look at the research, test out their claims, and review their function hands-on during the show, but for now these products are just some of the ones to watch among the digital and public health spaces.

Neurable

Massachusetts-based neurotechnology company Neurable, Inc. will be exhibiting the MW75 Neuro: wireless over-ear headphones that use BCI, or brain-computer interface technology. These headphones are the first of their kind to feature electroencephalograph (EEG) sensors woven into its ear cushions to allow them to track focus, boost productivity, and present you with data based on insights taken directly from your brain waves!

Packed with features to keep you focused, the MW75 Neuro headphones offer three ambient listening and noise cancellation modes, including an adaptive feature that adjusts automatically to your surroundings just like the Marshall Monitor III ANC we recently reviewed.

But what’s most interesting is that the MW75 promises to improve focus and boost productivity. While the paired Neurable app tracks brain-wave data to ensure users stay on task and learn the best times of day to perform the most intensive tasks for them. Users can try out a live focus demo, using their brainwaves alone to power the in-app rocket, and see what different levels of focus feel like. But Neurable is not all work and no play, as the app also provides a Brain Break feature to ensure regular breaks that have been proven to reduce burnout and improve later productivity.

I am excited to get a hands-on demonstration at CES, so keep an eye out here for our full review of the MW75 Neuro.

Eyebot

What if you could do your next vision test in under two minutes while getting your groceries? With a mission to make vision care more accessible to everyone, Eyebot aims to achieve this using AI-powered robotic kiosks that perform 90 second vision tests. This technology addresses the growing demand for vision care services, providing a scalable solution that can deliver over 300 sessions per day, significantly surpassing the capacity of traditional exam lanes.

Their Eyebot S1 kiosks will also scan and detect for over 20 eye disorders or diseases, eliminating the need to wait for lengthy appointment times, and avoiding the struggle of finding a doctor that is close enough to you or searching endlessly for one that takes your insurance.

In collaboration with leading optical brands like Zenni, Eyebot integrates into retail environments with ease, enabling customers to transition smoothly from vision testing to eyewear purchases from one screen. The best part? You can do it anytime, as kiosks are operational around the clock. No need for scheduling in advance, or waiting for reimbursement for copays, as the sessions cost around $20, no insurance required, or free with a paired purchase of lenses. With more advanced features to come like retina screenings and glaucoma detection, Eyebot plans to help decrease the ever-growing gap between those that need eye care, and the ability to access it for all.

I will be putting Eyebot to the test in a few weeks, to see if it can truly tell how bad my eyesight really is. I have an astigmatism, require a heavy prescription, and need a prism in both eyes to help align my vision. Combine that with an old scar on one eye from a previous injury, and I should be the perfect trial patient to see if Eyebot can replace my usual optometry appointment. I hope to be impressed, since I can’t wait to make the chore of an eye test and yearly glasses upgrades easier and more efficient.

Calopad

Getting relief from muscle pain, cramps, and backaches might soon be as easy as putting on a bandaid. Swisstech company Calopad is looking to bridge the gap between traditional medical care and modern technology with a wearable device designed for everyone from athletes to office workers.

In addition to the all-natural pain relief patch, Calopad is paired with an app that allows you to access tailored physical therapy exercises curated by health experts, as well as virtual counseling. With over 50 million people in the U.S. reporting dealing with chronic pain on a daily basis, and musculoskeletal disorders being the number one cause of injury for nurses like myself; I could see making this product a part of my lifestyle, to both treat and help prevent future pain.

MindMics

MindMics is turning everyday earbuds into tools for cardiovascular (heart) health monitoring, allowing you to listen to your music or media while they listen to your heartbeat. This non-invasive approach allows users to track stress, recovery, and other wellness data seamlessly through devices they already use daily. Using patented Infrasonic Hemodynography (Infra - low, sonic - sound, hemo - blood, dyno - measure), MindMics detects low-frequency acoustic vibrations within the ear canal to capture detailed metrics such as heart rate variability (HRV) and real-time cardiac performance. The paired app can also guide the user through exercises to help lower stress and reduce the workload on their heart.

The MindMics Heart Health System achieves clinical-grade accuracy with a 99% similarity to professional medical diagnostics like electrocardiogram (ECGs) results. Validated through published clinical studies, the system provides insights via personalized dashboards, and early detection of conditions like aortic stenosis - which is the narrowing of a heart valve that reduces blood flow to the body. These studies show the potential of MindMics’ technology in advancing non-invasive heart health monitoring, and how daily activities like listening to music can double as a mini wellness check.

As a medical professional, I am all too aware that heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and many of those with high blood pressure are unaware they have it. Ahead of CES, MindMics aims to redefine wearable health tech by integrating its advanced monitoring capabilities into conventional devices like earbuds and stands out as a must-watch technology for its potential future benefit to personal health and wellness.

FlowBeams

FlowBeams will soon change the way we look at doctor’s visits and confront a fear that about 1 in 10 adults face, needles. BoldJet is a needle-free injection system that delivers high-precision liquid microjets directly into the skin. This technology uses laser-induced cavitation, a process in which bubbles form and collapse quickly in tiny, massive bursts of energy, to create a microjet that targets the surface layers of the skin with incredible accuracy. BoldJet's virtually painless, non-invasive approach makes it ideal for a wide range of medical and cosmetic applications, from vaccines and insulin delivery, to botox; all while reducing the fear and discomfort traditionally associated with needles

The device is designed to be user-friendly, requiring only basic medical training to operate. Its simplicity and efficiency make it a promising solution for healthcare professionals and patients alike, especially in settings where speed and accessibility are key, such as in retail environments, community clinics, and med spas.

Having given probably thousands of injections in my career, I know how scary and uncomfortable people can find it. Phobias and the wish to avoid pain and discomfort can lead to people avoiding care altogether. FlowBeams is working towards a solution to address these challenges. By eliminating the need for traditional needles, healthcare could see a future where injections are not only more comfortable but also more accessible for all. Would you give BoldJet a….shot? Keep an eye here for more on this emerging technology as it paves the way for a needle-free world.

Worth the Watch?

As someone who has worked for state departments, clinics, and in hospital settings; during pandemics, shortages, and crisis responses throughout various states, I know what it’s like to work with the most basic of equipment as well as some truly high-tech tools. I am always fascinated with the potential for innovation and improvement in public health. And as the future of health and wellness technology moves forward, it brings with it improved ways to make strides in our own personal care and well-being. Some advancements promise not only to help people stay healthier or make medical procedures less stressful, but claim they can make healthcare more affordable and user-friendly. Which of these are worth following and making a part of your daily routines, and which are pseudoscience, and how can you tell the difference? I’ll break down the claims, review the research, and provide hands-on testing and comparisons so you know if a product is right for your lifestyle. Keep an eye out here at Antill.co, to keep up with these and other companies, and see what is truly paving the way for the future of healthcare and technology.
