Speaker A
Every year the Withings stand draws the crowd. The French company have released connected scales and smartwatches, but now there's something new, the Body Scan 2.
Speaker A
It is just like a regular set of bathroom scales, but with a difference.
Speaker A
It's doing a cardiovascular scan.
Speaker A
The tests are run as I place my thumbs on the sensors, and it just takes 90 seconds.
Speaker B
These measurement capabilities are usually only accessible in clinical settings, and we have introduced them into a consumer device, easy to use.
Speaker A
But it is expensive.
Speaker B
For 599 in the US and 499 in Europe, but we have introduced six exclusive measurement capabilities.
Speaker A
Let's see my results.
Speaker A
My heart age is 37, so a year younger than what I actually am.
Speaker B
That's actually really good. It means that your heart pumping efficiency is great.
Speaker A
Yeah, I'm happy with that.
Speaker A
I'm now looking at Peri, a new wearable designed to track the perimenopause.
Speaker C
We have four sensors in it. It's an EDA, it's an accelerometer for motion, we have blood flow, and we have temperature.
Speaker C
Peri actually sticks on under the breast with an adhesive. It has 7 to 10 days wear time. You can wear it when you're bathing, swimming, living your life as normal.
Speaker C
And you can go on here and you can see all your scores once you pair it with your own phone.
Speaker A
Great, can I have a look?
Speaker C
Yeah.
Speaker A
Thank you.
Speaker C
We track your cycle all through sensor technology, activity, hot flashes, and night sweats. And after your first seven days, you will get your first insight, which is AI generated.
Speaker A
Looks a little bit like a sippy cup.
Speaker D
And they couple it to this part that has all the, you know, air pressure. And essentially, they just have to push their nose into the, into the mask and swallow.
Speaker D
Drink their favorite drink and that's all they have to do.
Speaker D
And you can see that we've created a gamified app with the rocket.
Speaker D
And when that rocket hits the star, that means the pressure has gotten to the right level so that the Eustachian tube can open.
Speaker D
But we also have microcontrollers to stop the pressure from going too high so that it's not uncomfortable for the children.
Speaker A
You can't look at health tech and not consider your teeth, and there's plenty of smart toothbrushes around.
Speaker A
The current iteration of the Y-Brush can clean your teeth in just 20 seconds, and you use it like this, so it gets the back ones. In fact, you know what? I'm better just to give it a go myself.
Speaker A
There's different modes I can choose.
Speaker A
10 seconds clean, so that's what I'm going for.
Speaker A
That's 10 seconds.
Speaker A
Sorry, I did need to rinse there.
Speaker A
Time to do the bottom.
Speaker E
For example, diabetes, digestive issues, inflammatory, oral health, or even liver issues.
Speaker A
Beauty giant L'Oréal are giving us a preview of what tech they're working on.
Speaker A
I'm sure lots of people will be thinking, right, if I use something like this, what difference am I going to see on my face?
Speaker F
We're with this kind of technology, we have two wavelengths of light, 830 nanometers, which goes to the collagen of your, um, underneath your skin, and 630, which actually goes to the cells and regenerates them. And that takes about two to three weeks to see visible results that people can perceive, um, and then it keeps getting better and better over months.
Speaker A
So what you're telling me then is that this is an investment piece.
Speaker F
Absolutely, because in the end of the day, every beauty product takes some period of time when it comes to skincare to work. It's not magic, and it, you know, especially when you have great science, and we believe in L'Oréal that we have to invest a lot in science.
Speaker F
Take the mask, just fit it to your face, and then you got a little velcro on the back which will stick, and then press the button on the side and hold till it works.
Speaker A
I didn't have enough time to see the results.
Speaker A
But from what I've seen here at CES, the promise of health tech has a clear mission: to help us look and feel better for longer.
