Innovations are developing in connected health
At the last CES, innovations in health made significant progress. Thanks to the operation of Artificial Intelligence, numerous objects measuring each person’s constants and communicating in all rooms have been disclosed. Sensors can analyze urine, monitor nutrient or hormone levels. Other objects can measure blood pressure, heart rate and other indicators by analyzing the face from a selfie. Products in the prevention niche are very promising, as are certain start-ups, such as the French company Withings. After its Body Scan, a connected health station for the home, the company is preparing to market the first home urine analysis laboratory. It thus faces American giants like Apple in the prevention market.
