GyroGlove
This innovative wearable technology is designed to stabilize hand tremors, which has particular benefits for conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Its precision and ease of use make it a valuable tool for improving the daily lives of patients, showcasing how technology can offer practical, life-enhancing solutions in healthcare.
MouthPad
MouthPad is a unique oral interface that allows patients with dexterity challenges to control digital devices through simple mouth movements—without the use of their hands. It’s a significant step forward in assistive technology, offering newfound independence to patients with physical limitations.
OrCam Hear
A groundbreaking device in the realm of assistive hearing technology, OrCam Hear combines lip-reading with traditional hearing aid functions. It’s particularly useful in noisy environments, providing clarity and improved communication for those with hearing impairments.
Ultra Reality Breylon
This virtual reality system offers an immersive, therapeutic experience. It can be used to manage stress, anxiety, and even pain, showcasing the potential of VR to enhance patient care.
Evie Health Tracker
This wearable blends fashion with function by packaging comprehensive health metric tracking in a chic, discreet smart ring. Designed with women’s health in mind, it can monitor heart rate, activity levels, and sleep patterns, as well as provide insights into fertility and menstrual cycles.
Neurolotions
This non-invasive device uses neurorobotics, powered by the user’s own thoughts, to rehabilitate motor function in the upper extremities following a stroke. It is currently the only Brain Computer Interface that has been cleared by the FDA.
Rabbit r1: A revolutionary pocket-sized AI device that promises a simpler and more intuitive way to interact with technology. Instead of being app-driven, the device relies on an AI model called LAM (large action model) to understand your instructions and complete tasks autonomously. While not health-specific, AI-first devices like this point towards a near-future where natural language can be used to learn about conditions and treatments, monitor our health, and connect with helpful support resources.
