New health and wellness technology and products can be an attractive sell because, well, who doesn’t want to look and feel better?
Here is our team’s top list of the best healthcare products for 2024 and they are ones you will definitely want to purchase.
A smart ring with a new edge
The Evie ring and app are currently only compatible with iOS, with plans to support Android in the near future.
Price: $269 (Offered in a variety of colors).
An all-in-one thermometer, stethoscope and heart health checker
Designed to be easy to carry and light to hold, the BeamO is entering the market post-pandemic, where telemedicine visits are still the norm. But increasingly, patients want quick access to basic health information that providers may normally collect in-office.
Price: $250
Glasses that let you hear better
The Nuance Audio glasses from EssilorLuxottica were made for people with mild or moderate hearing loss — those who notice they have some trouble hearing in noisy, busy places. They have technology built right into the glasses frames that will amplify sound. To adjust the volume, users can tweak the glasses themselves or use the companion app. You’ll also be able to add your vision prescription to the lenses.
A pair of Nuance Audio specs will provide a different way for people to improve their hearing. Even now that the FDA is allowing over-the-counter hearing aid sales so people can get a hearing aid without a prescription, high cost and perceived stigma of wearing hearing aids are still barriers to treatment for many people.
Price: There’s no official word on how much the Nuance Audio glasses will cost yet, so stay tuned.
An air conditioner for your neck
Torras, which makes wearable air conditioners for your neck, announced a new model of its personal air condition this year, the Coolify Cyber. While it’s not a new concept this year (there are other models available for sale), it’s the company’s latest version of an air conditioning product that fits around the back of your neck to keep you cool — not a bad choice for a hot day walking around, and one of the more approachable wellness items.
Price: $130 – $180.
New at-home smart UTI test
Urinary tract infections (known as UTIs) are a common reason for a trip to the doctor. Vivoo, a health tech company that makes at-home urine tests with a partnered app, announced a new UTI test that gives users quick results that are stored on an app.
Vivoo said in a press release it’s able to give UTI results through its “deep learning image processing technology” through its software.
Price: Free App.
Improved diabetes tech
Abbott and Tandem also just announced a US integration of Abbott’s newest continuous glucose monitor, the FreestyleLibre 2 Plus Sensor, with Tandem’s T:slim X2 insulin pump.
