Greetings from Las Vegas, where CES 2024 is officially underway. I’ll be doing live updates on social media throughout the week – there are a zillion cool new products here – and this morning, behold the Anura MagicMirror by NuraLogix. The device uses transdermal optical imaging to measure your vital signs and assess health risks by analyzing facial blood flow. It also provides metrics on blood pressure, heart disease risk, stress levels, and even estimates age based on skin condition. You don’t even need to say the whole, “Mirror, mirror on the wall” incantation. It just does the job.
Designed for use in public spaces like gyms and clinics, the MagicMirror offers a quick, non-invasive health check. Users simply align their face with on-screen prompts for analysis, with data processed in the cloud and returned as wellness metrics. While not a medical device, the MagicMirror’s technology is under review for FDA clearance for certain health metrics.
Each year, it feels like we’re getting closer to accurate, useful, non-invasive consumer-grade medical diagnostic tools. It’s an exciting field that promises to improve health and wellness.
