6 Digital Health Highlights from the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show

At the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in early January, technology developers showcased products poised to hit the market, including various digital health devices. The trade show, which took place in Las Vegas this year, featured medical devices that leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance care delivery in clinical settings as well as monitor individuals’ conditions throughout their daily lives, encouraging preventive decision-making for better long-term health.

Here are some digital health device highlights from CES 2026, according to ICT&health and Forbes.

Headphones That Measure Brain Activity

Naox Technologies has developed headphones capable of measuring the wearer’s brain waves with a built-in electroencephalogram (EEG). There’s a model for health care providers meant to serve as a more comfortable replacement for the traditional EEG cap, as well as a version for consumers who want to monitor their brain activity during daily tasks.

A Surgical Robot That Conveys Sensory Information

Surgeons remotely operating the Inverse3X from Haply Robotics can sense tissue resistance, allowing them to adjust pressure thanks to AI simulation and digital twinning.

A Headband That Improves Sleep

This digital health device from Elemind helps wearers fall asleep faster with acoustic stimulation. Sleep Tailor headbands also utilize AI to adapt to individual sleep patterns and adjust to increase effectiveness. One study found that the headbands reduced the time it took people to fall asleep by 74 percent on average.

AI Agents That Can Serve as Personal Health Coaches

Lenovo’s Quira AI assistant can aggregate data from apps and smart devices, ask end users questions, and ultimately utilize that information to offer health advice related to exercise, diet and rest.

A Dongle That Verifies Identity with Vein Patterns

The AuthEnTHICator from Veintree transforms the arrangement of veins in your hand into a one-time cryptographic key. The device can integrate into health care workflows and confirms identity without storing any biometric data.

A Smart Scale That Provides a 90-Second Overall Health Assessment

The Withings Body Scan 2 carries out a segmental body composition analysis, evaluates blood pressure and cardiovascular health, assesses metabolism and offers more than 60 biomarker measurements. The scale’s companion app creates a Health Trajectory — a predictive model based on the user’s personal data that shows how their daily habits will likely affect their lifespan, promoting better decision-making and longevity.
