"For people who have an illness, there should be no deductible," he said, and brought up his own experience as an oncologist to bolster his point.

Unlike the Humane Ai pin, which got lots of criticism for taking a painfully long time to reply to queries, the Button is designed to be nearly instantaneous.

The ALEX RS is a bilateral upper-limb exoskeleton designed for post-stroke rehabilitation, covering 92% of the human arm's natural range of motion and is CE certified as a Class IIa medical device.

Google's new health tracker, teased by Steph Curry, features a Whoop-inspired design and will include a subscription service with an AI-based personal health coach.

The Ultrahuman Ring Pro builds on the Ultrahuman Ring Air's features with several key improvements, including an impressive battery life of up to 15 days, which is more than twice as long as the Air.

The glasses, developed over ten years, can guide people living with early-stage dementia through daily activities by identifying everyday objects and providing audio commentary and putting up visual prompts.

Since 1990, the incidence of hypertension has increased globally, with up to one in three adults worldwide affected by it. Most of those people have no idea they have it. If people could diagnose and monitor hypertension at home, the World Health Organization estimates that up to 76 million lives could be saved with easy fixes, like stopping smoking or adjusting diet.

In fact, Stawicki was on a mission to save the lives of around 1,000 zebrafish ( Danio rerio) in her laboratory. Similarities between lines of hair cells on the fish's flanks and those in the mammalian inner ear enable her to use them as a model to study hearing problems in humans caused by some antibiotics and chemotherapy drugs. A sensor had picked up that the lab's heating system had been knocked out by a power fault.

We use the IMU sensors to detect which exercise the user is performing and identify the period engaging in concentric, eccentric, or isometric hold. These are the three main types of lifting exercises; you might know them as contracting, lengthening, or static exercises. The Fort uses the wrist as a proxy for bar velocity, and the company is seeking FDA clearance and will also be pursuing large, third-party studies from independent labs.

Meta is building a smartwatch, and it wants to know your heart rate, your sleep patterns, your activity levels, and whatever else it can pull from a sensor pressed against your skin all day. The device is codenamed Malibu 2, it's targeting a 2026 launch, and by most accounts it sounds like a perfectly competent health wearable. The problem isn't the hardware. The problem is the company attached to it.

Artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning is making a difference in assistive technology to help restore movement for the paralyzed. A new study in the American Institute of Physics journal APL Bioengineering shows how AI has the potential to restore lower-limb functions in those with severe spinal cord injuries (SCIs) by identifying patterns in brain signals captured noninvasively via electroencephalography (EEG).

When people breathe, speak, sing or clear their throats, their bodies are in constant motion. Air flowing through the lungs, the oscillation of vocal folds in the throat and the rhythmic expansion of the chest all produce tiny vibrations that carry valuable information about physiology and health. However, constructing a device that can capture all of these physiological signals has remained a challenge.

AI plays an important role-but not by fixing fragmented data on its own. The work of organizing, connecting, and interpreting healthcare information still belongs to people and the systems they build. Where AI helps is after that foundation is in place: by bringing the right information forward at the right time, reducing the effort it takes to find what matters, and supporting better decisions in the moment of care.

Meta is planning to launch a smartwatch with health tracking and AI features later this year, along with an updated version of its Meta Ray-Ban Display smart glasses, The Information reports. The smartwatch would arrive ahead of a pair of mixed reality glasses, code-named Phoenix, that Meta has reportedly delayed until 2027 amidst efforts to streamline the company's AR and MR roadmap. Meta previously scrapped plans for an earlier smartwatch in 2022 due to technical challenges and cost-cutting measures.
