Tech Meets Wellness Gadgets That Help You Stay Healthy Every Day
Note that health technology products are not gimmicks; they are tools to help you achieve your goals through data and behavioural nudges. Below are descriptions of health technology product categories that have proven their value and utility in helping to produce healthier people in 2026.
Wearable Devices
Since wearable devices are quite literally always with you, smart rings and smart watches are the leading wearable devices.
- Oura Ring Gen 4
This tiny but very powerful device allows the wearer to track their sleep stages, heart rate variability (HRV), and recovery scores with medical precision. The device does not offer any digital distractions due to its lack of a screen; it only indicates a morning readiness score so that the user knows whether or not to exercise that day. Couples using the Oura Ring Gen 4 can sync their respective Oura Rings to gain additional data about each other's wellness behaviours.
In addition, the Oura Ring's battery typically lasts for seven days, making it ideal for anyone who genuinely does not like wearing large watches but still wants to get a thorough analysis of their deep sleep.
- Whoop 5.0
While primarily designed for use by elite athletes, Whoop is a wearable device used by non-athletes as well and provides users with continuous tracking of the user's strain (how physically demanding a workout was), how well the user recovered from the last workout, and the amount of sleep debt accumulated by the user through poor sleep habits in the previous night(s).
Using AI, the Whoop wearable device provides users with advice about how intensely they should work out based on data collected from the previous day's workouts. The Whoop band is a screenless device with an approximately 250 INR per month subscription. The Whoop wearable band focuses on trends over time, rather than daily numbers.
Smart Scales: A Lot More Than Just Measuring Weight!
- Withings Body Scan 2
Step onto the scale for ECG readings, arterial age, muscle balance, visceral fat within 90 seconds; track hydration, vascular age, and even nerve health, so you know the risks of diabetes. App shows graphs of your progress and doctor-ready reports; Favorite for the CES 2026 show that makes your bathroom a health dashboard!
HomeHealth Hubs
- NuraLogix Longevity Mirror
Stand in front of the mirror and record a 30-second video of your face. The AI will analyze the blood flow patterns in your face and compute your heart rate health, how old you are metabolically, your stress load and the risk of having a heart attack or stroke 20 years from now. Now that you can integrate this with your bathroom vanity, checking your health every day is automatic, just like brushing your teeth! All of this is done with your privacy in mind. Your data will remain on the mirror until you choose to share it.
- Sunbooster Desk Lamp
Most office workers are vitamin D deficient! This lamp replicates the full solar spectrum, including near-infrared, and is designed to mimic sunlight, to help you maintain a regular circadian rhythm through the study of emotions. Check out some studies conducted at various Dutch universities that back its claims. A Phone Case version of this lamp will be available soon, so you can receive hands-free light therapy while making calls.
Nutrition & Recovery Tools
- Allergen Alert Device
Simply point at any food item and receive an instant reading on what allergens (gluten, nuts and dairy) are present within the item. This pocket-sized lab quality technology gives back confidence when dining out for people with allergies and intolerances. Pre-order it in 2026, you will be able to subscribe for additional testing.
- RheoFit A1 Robotic Roller
Lying down, the A1 scans the body with an AI and provides a short (10 minute) target massage, so no hands are needed and can be used after a workout and long desk days. People at CES 2026 have shown a lot of interest in the RheoFit A1 Robotic Roller!
The Sleep Tech Industry
- Eight Sleep Pod 5
It is a smart mattress cover for the ideal sleeping temperature, based on physiological data collected with a ballistocardiograph (BCG). Through artificial intelligence (AI) technology, it will independently learn your sleeping patterns, develop them further, and adjust accordingly. The Eight Sleep Pod also stops the snoring patterns that some of your partners suffer from. The ultra-premium price tag (~₹200,000) offers numerous benefits, especially concerning your work life and performance through better quality sleep.
The Toilet Technology
Toto Smart Bidet is unique in that it incorporates urine analysis into your morning routine as part of the full physical fitness experience. The Toto Smart Bidet, or Japan's answer to "who tests urine for hydration," looks closely at your urine for signs of dehydration, as well as trends in glucose and ketone levels. The incorporation of urine analysis during your daily routine also allows for complete privacy, with no fear of any third-party access to your data or health data.
