Inside CES 2026: The technologies redefining healthcare

06 January 2026

This year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is offering a glimpse into the future of healthcare. Spanning everything from remote monitoring to wound care, the technologies debuting at CES 2026 seek to improve outcomes and reshape patient care.

Join Electronics360 as it highlights the healthcare solutions capturing attention at this year’s show.

First up is DolbomDream’s Carearly, which is a non-contact and non-invasive health monitoring system. Using proprietary pneumatic ballistocardiography (P-BCG) technology, the Carearly achieves up to 98% accuracy in biometric measurement as it continuously measures heart rate, respiration, movement and offers fall detection without skin contact or user action — even when users are moving, speaking, changing posture or in high traffic outdoor environments. Further, accompanying artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms improve signal quality, making it possible to identify risks like sleep apnea, inactivity or irregular cardiovascular patterns and thus triggering alerts to caregivers. Carearly is a 2026 honoree in the digital health category.

Another honoree in the digital health category, the Clinical One Entry System from Ceragem is an AI-powered, contactless health platform that turns building entrances into real-time screening, prevention and response hubs. The system reads core vital signs such as temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate and oxygen saturation via facial recognition. The system then analyzes those vital signs immediately to determine if a subject is eligible for entry into spaces such as nursing homes or clinics, for instance. Users approved for entry will be issued far ultraviolet (UV) hand sterilization and then pass through an air shower to reduce pathogen carry-in. In the event that infection risk is detected, the system will reportedly restrict user access, alert staff and activate isolation protocols. Additionally, the Clinical One Entry System even monitors patients when they are inside the facility, detecting early signs of decline and triggering emergency response. The system is intended for settings such as long-term care, nursing homes and high-risk communities, providing continuous, non-invasive protection both at entry points and in-room environments. This platform is expected to prevent secondary infections and enable real-time response among vulnerable populations.

Dubbed the world’s lightest exoskeleton, the Dnsys Z1 Dual Joint from Dnsys Innovation is reportedly the first device dedicated to supporting the knee. Powered by AI, the Z1, which is a 2026 honoree in the digital health, robotics, sports and fitness category, provides real-time adaptive assistance. It offers up to a 50% increase in leg power for walking and climbing, thus offloading up to twice the user’s bodyweight from the knees to reduce joint stress, while delivering up to 20 kg of lifting support as the wearer stands or climbs. According to its developers, the device can be worn across a variety of activities, protecting knee joints and improving mobility.

Predictive AI

Predictive AI’s Dr. Twin AI, a CES 2026 honoree in the digital health category, is a gene-based personalized healthcare AI solution that reportedly addresses the issue of delayed and inaccurate diagnoses by incorporating genomic data with an AI-powered decision-making platform, thereby offering healthcare providers and patients with rapid and precise insights. According to its developers, Dr. Twin AI uses Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) models, digital twin technology and Google Multi-Agentic AI trained on 347,000 medical records and expert publications to achieve 98.6% accuracy and reduce patient wait times.

Earflo

The Earflo from the company of the same name is bringing to CES 2026 what it suggests is the first non-invasive medical device for treating negative middle ear pressure that causes otitis media with effusion — otherwise known as chronic ear infections — in young children.

A CES 2026 best of innovation in digital health honoree, Earflo is considered a potential alternative to ear tubes, the most common pediatric surgery. According to its developers, Earflo is safe, painless and promises to help children avoid temporary hearing loss. The device, which is designed to look like a sippy cup, works automatically while a child drinks, gently delivering a precisely controlled puff of air through the nose. Specifically, Earflo encourages the eustachian tube to open and release trapped fluid, a process that takes just minutes each day at home or on the go.

Eieling Technology Limited

Eieling Technology Limited’s FattaLab is what its developers claim is the world’s first lightweight intelligent fatty liver assessment system. Making its debut at this year’s CES, the 2026 honoree in the digital health category is equipped with the Auto Intra-Focus Fusion (AIFF) HumanLiver Fat Detection Algorithm to precisely diagnose fatty liver. While traditional methods of detecting fatty liver tends to be expensive, inaccurate and not portable, the inexpensive and lightweight FattaLab reportedly achieves medical-grade accuracy. Using this device, operators can instantly avoid non-liver tissues such as ribs, blood vessels and nodules and get quantitative liver fat results in just 30 seconds.

A digital healthcare device that combines AI-powered dermatological diagnosis, targeted therapy and personalized visual recovery is headed to this year’s CES. SCAR, from Kolmar Korea is a non-invasive device that uses a CNN algorithm trained on large-scale dermatological image data to accurately classify scar types and deliver treatment using a piezoelectric microdispensing system capable of 10 pL to 300 pL dosing without thermal damage.

The device, which is a CES 2026 honoree in the digital health category, features an embedded RGB LED ring that provides photobiomodulation (630/520/470nm) to encourage skin regeneration through connected wound care and digital dermatology.

Also set to take the stage at this year’s CES is the VitalTracker from Bioconnect Inc., which is an AI-powered vital sign monitoring solution that uses remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) technology to measure five vital signs — heart rate, respiratory rate, estimated blood pressure, oxygen saturation and stress level — entirely contact-free. To accomplish this, the device, which is a CES 2026 honoree in the products in support of human security for all category, processes RGB signals from a standard 30 fps camera, delivering accurate results in 20 seconds via proprietary algorithms and expanding access to critical health data in areas with limited medical infrastructure.

GEMSS Healthcare

Another CES 2026 honoree in the products in support of human security for all category, the Mobile X-ray system ‘XBILE’ from GEMSS Healthcare is equipped with Smart Drawing & Targeting technology, which incorporates a smart camera with an intelligent collimator. The user simply draws the diagnostic area with a finger directly on the live image, while the intelligent collimator immediately adjusts the irradiation field to the selected region while shielding all others, thus reducing unnecessary radiation exposure and protecting patients while maintaining diagnostic precision. According to its developers, XBILE delivers a diagnosis in under three seconds with a 96% rate of accuracy. With its 1.5 mm ultra-fine focal spot ensuring superior image clarity, the device can be used anywhere from hospitals to emergency sites, to home care and remote settings.

CES 2026 takes place January 6 to January 9, 2026, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
