  MobileHelp Touch

  This updated Touch Personal Emergency Response System (mPERS) builds upon the existing MobileHelp system by adding more interactive features. The core function remains the same, to inform emergency operators of an individual's location once they have pressed the emergency button (the operator then assesses the situation and contacts a neighbor, family member or emergency services based on need). In addition, the Touch system now includes the option to add reminders, a function for easy-to-use SMS and e-mailing, brain-stimulus games and activity tracking. The Company is also making a version that features MobileVitals, which allows patients to track vital signs using wireless health monitoring devices and send the data to their physician.

  Willow Generation 3

  Willow claims that the third iteration of their breast pump is the first all-in-one, in-bra, quiet wearable pump. Moms using the device can pump directly into both a spill-proof milk bag and a reusable container. The Company also states that in testing, experienced Willow users who pumped ≥20 times and used Generation 3, pumped 20% more milk than with prior iterations. An additional 21mm sized flange is being added to the current size assortment, which is also compatible with Generation 2. Generation 3 will be available this Spring.

  Colgate Plaqless Pro

  This electronic toothbrush uses different colored lights to inform the user which areas they should brush and when they can move on. The brush also connects via Bluetooth to the users phone, giving them a real-time view of their brushing. When finished, the user can see where they brushed and if a brushed area is truly clean. The Company claims the brush does this by detecting biofilm buildup on teeth. The Colgate Plaqless Pro won the CES award for Best of Innovation for Health and Beauty.

  Ebb Sleeplessness Device

  This wearable device cools the forehead during sleep using a cooling algorithm that maintains an optimal temperature range during the night. The device was conceived by Ebb Therapeutics founder and CMO, Dr Eric Nofzinger. While Director of the Sleep Neuroimaging Research Program at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Dr Nofzinger discovered that when the forehead is cooled, brain activity decreases and the mind can relax.

  InBody 970

  The InBody 970 analyzes abdominal fat and total body water. The device is paired with a handheld abdominal fat assessment tool called the Yscope, which assesses waist circumference size, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat. InBody claims that the depth of abdominal fat analysis is comparable to that of a CT scan. "Medical practitioners can now use the InBody 970 to measure and track important health indicators, like visceral fat, for real-time data that can improve treatment plans,” said Harry Yun, CEO of InBody USA. The InBody 970 was named a CES 2020 Innovation Award Honoree for design and engineering. The InBody 970 and Yscope is expected to be available in late 2020.

  Whisk

  Whisk is a food artificial intelligence platform that helps tailor meals to specific diets. It lives on a person's refrigerator; the user enters their food preferences and location and Whisk provides recipe recommendations based on factors such as dietary restrictions and what ingredients are in season. When used in combination with the Samsung Family Hub with the ViewInside camera (Samsung NEXT acquired Whisk last year), the contents of the refrigerator are analyzed using AI-image recognition, after which the refrigerator recommends recipes that incorporate the available ingredients. Through their technology, the Company hopes to reduce food waste.
