Technology in the health tech space centres around helping us gain a better understanding of our habits, vitals, and overall wellness. Smartwatches and smart rings are, of course, at the heart of this experience. But nowadays, there are so many other wearables and health tech devices. There’s also a shift to focus as much on the software and app experience as the hardware, and on devices that help us reduce screen time, not encourage more. Plus, food and nutrition tracking is a growing trend. This was all evidenced by the health tech innovations on the CES 2026 show floor.
Luna Band
Luna is known for its smart rings, and its audio products that feature Sound by Bose. The latest product from the company is the Luna Band, a bracelet that does not have a screen. This idea is to offer passive, screen-free tracking just as you’d get with a smart ring. Powered by Luna’s LifeOS, I was shown some exciting features that are coming to the Luna Band as well as the Luna Ring Gen 2 within the next couple of weeks. You can audibly say “Hey Siri, I just had a coffee” and it will ask when and how much, then log this information in your timeline. It’s a great feature for logging food, water, medications, even your mood. You can also request health guidance without having to open the app through voice commands. The band itself has a research-grade optical sensor to capture your vitals, recovery, circadian fluctuations, emotional stress signatures, and more. It can detect changes in certain patterns daily and deliver recommendations based on the data it’s capturing. It’s a wonderful option for those who aren’t interested in a smart ring but don’t want a distracting smartwatch on their wrist either.
Dreame AI Smart Ring
Dreame is known for its vacuums and other home care products, but did you know they have a smart ring now? It stands out by offering haptic feedback for notifications and health alerts, so you feel a small vibration to advise you of a notification, remind you to take your medication, even use it as a subtle alarm. The ring offers ECG monitoring and a Family Care feature for remote health tracking and sending emergency alerts to loved ones. You can also use the on-board button to do things like trigger your phone’s camera. Get about seven days per charge of the sleek ring, which comes with a charging case as well.
Amazfit V1TAL Food Camera
It’s just a concept right now, but Amazfit is expanding its portfolio of wearable devices to include a complementary product that helps you monitor not only your nutritional intake, but also your overall eating habits. Great for athletes, those who are experimenting with diets, or anyone who wants to gain insight into their eating, it’s a small camera you position by your plate before you eat. It examines what’s on the plate as well as how quickly you eat, what you tend to eat first (carbs or protein?), and other eating behaviour. From here, it can integrate this data into your training load, recovery metrics, and health insights when working alongside an Amazfit wearable. You’ll also get details about the meal, including how healthy (or unhealthy) it was. It’s an extension of the food log feature that was introduced with the Zepp app last year, taking things even further to help you make positive changes to your eating habits.
Amazfit Active Max Smartwatch
In terms of wearables, Amazfit launched the Amazfit Active Max smartwatch just before CES. Impressive features include the 1.5-inch ultra-bright AMOLED display, advanced training tools, and up to 25 days battery life. The BioCharge energy score adjusts throughout the day based on your activity, workouts, stress, and more, helping guide you along to when you should rest and recover or you’re ready to work. With more than 170 sports modes and AI-powered Zepp Coach guidance, this is a premium smartwatch for athletes and those serious about fitness that doesn’t have a premium price tag.
Garmin Nutrition Tracking
Garmin isn’t introducing new hardware at the show, but the company is showing its new nutrition tracking feature, part of the Garmin Connect+ experience. Take a photo of your food and it leverages AI to analyze it and provide details about calories, macros, and more. It works with home cooked meals as well as store bought items, even restaurants so you can do more with that meal photo than just post it to Instagram. From there, the app will provide insights to help you improve your eating habits or at least be better informed about your food choices.
Withings Body Scan 2
I have been using the Withings Body Scan smart scale for years and absolutely love it. The second-generation version, the Withings Body Scan 2, adds more biomarkers, tracking up to 60 measurements to help you detect health issues earlier. New features include Impedance Cardiography (ICG) for monitoring health pumping efficiency and Bioimpedance Spectroscopy (BIS) for assessing cellular health and metabolic functions. Glycemic dysregulation is also a useful tracking feature since it’s a potential predictor of prediabetes.
The smart scale can also send notifications if it detects hypertension. I love the display at the top of the retractable handle that show the measurements right up close. While this smart scale looks virtually identical to its predecessor minus the digital display on the handle, it tracks a whole lot more making it a worthwhile upgrade.
Renpho Eyeris Zen Eye Massager with Headspace
The Renpho Eyeris eye massager is not a new product, but the company’s collaboration with Headspace is. It combines Renpho’s soothing eye massager with Headspace’s guided mindfulness content to further help you relax. The device on its own is designed to help you rest, recover, and reset after straining your eyes all day. But combining that with relaxing audio is the perfect mix for mental wellness. I tried the eye massager at the show and it works so well, I didn’t want to take it off! While it was tough to hear the Headspace audio given all the ambient noise, I can see how it would be a great way to wind down after a long day when you’re in a quiet setting and can truly enjoy the calming voice.
Anker Soundcore Sleep A30 Earbuds
One of many products Anker announced at the show, the Soundcore Sleep A30 earbuds can be worn as earplugs while you sleep, blocking out noise while also playing sleep stories from the Calm app, AI brainwave audio, or white noise. Employing a triple noise reduction system with active noise cancellation (ANC), they also offer passive noise blocking along with adaptive snore masking technology. These a great for light sleepers, pet owners, those who live in busy cities, or who have partners who snore.
Nirva AI Jewelry
Forget smartwatches, fitness trackers, even smart rings. Created by Nirva Labs, which is led by the same team that built Oculus Quest and Meta Ray-Ban, alongside a designer for celebrities like Lady Gaga and Black Pink, Nirva has a clever device that can be worn as either a bracelet or a necklace. Inside, it functions as a digital journal, capturing your thoughts and musings, conversations (with permission) your mood, social connections, stressors, and more to help provide advice about how you handle situations with your job, relationships, and overall wellness. The end goal is to examine relationships, interactions, and moods, and ensure you are spending enough time on self-care. It can also provide affirmations, tips, and ideas throughout the day, with safeguards to ensure it does not give inappropriate or unsafe advice. With dual microphones, A UV sensor to monitor sunlight exposure, and an IMU for motion context, it can run for up to two days per charge but comes with a jewelry box that provides three extra charges.
Shokz OpenFit Pro Open-Ear Earbuds
Shokz has a reputation for making some of the best open-ear bone conduction wireless earbuds, and the latest to join the line is the OpenFit Pro. These are the company’s first open-ear earbuds to feature Open-Ear Noise Reduction, and it works well based on my brief listening session on the show floor. They not only sound good, they also effectively cancelled out some of the loud noise of the bustling show floor. It accomplishes this by using a triple mic array, refined speaker design, and Shokz’s Ear Adaptive algorithm to help soften background noises.
You get more powerful bass and better details as well thanks to Shokz’s SuperBoost technology, which includes a large dual-diaphragm driver. It’s optimized for Dolby Atmos with Dolby Head Tracking to offer an immersive listening experience. A solid option for runners, especially ones who don’t like in-ear buds, they offer a great balance of good sound with an open-ear design and decent, adjustable level noise cancellation that’s suitable for environments with moderate noise, like a busy street along your running route or the local gym.
Moonbird Handheld Breathing Coach
Mental health and wellness is just as important as physical health. This is why so many smartwatches offer breathing exercises. The Moonbird is an adorable handheld device designed to offer physical breathing coaching without the need for a device with a screen or an app. Press a button on it and it pulses in and out like a slow heartbeat, guiding you along with when to breathe in and out. There are two designs: the traditional Moonbird and the animal-shaped Moonbuddy for kids. It’s a great way to help calm nerves, de-stress, and ease anxiety, and can even be used as a sleep aid. What’s especially great is that it works as a standalone device, so it doesn’t encourage nor require more screen time to use it.
