Following the continued growth and interest in the health and wellness category, it only makes sense that CES 2022 should bear such a massive showcase of the most recent innovations. In 2021, a Consumer Technology Association (CTA) study found that 20% of United States households used online health services for the first time, and 20% plan to continue using them into the next year. 25% of homes now have air purifiers, 23% have smart or connected health monitoring devices and 19% have connected sports or fitness equipment.

For those attending January 5 – 8, the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center will feature some of the latest and most innovative health technologies. These include remote patient diagnostics, digital therapeutics, mental wellness tools and more with newcomers to the category and industry veterans making appearances on the showroom floor.

CES 2022 will also be showcasing some of the latest innovations tackling pandemic-related concerns, such as viral detection, air purification, disinfection and more. Some of the products include ViraWarn from Opteev, an airborne COVID-19 detector, the SIMULIA PowerFLOW software developed by Dassault Systems, which can simulate the spread of water droplets in environments, and BULO by Breathings, a device that measures lung health and provides personal breathing exercises.

“Technology improves our lives in so many ways, and that is especially clear in the health sector,” said Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, CTA. “The pandemic spurred rapid innovation from digital health companies across the globe who continue to find ways to make our lives safer, happier and longer. We are thrilled with health technology’s strong presence at CES 2022 and look forward to its continued growth in the years ahead.”

Education and Insight into the Worlds of Digital Health and Therapy

Robert B Ford, Chairman of the Board and CEO of Abbott, will present the first keynote ever delivered by a healthcare company at the event. Joining him will be Abbott’s top scientists, engineers, inventors and partners to discuss the technology revolution in healthcare, and how it is empowering people to actively engage in their own health.

In addition, CES 2022 will feature in-depth panel conversations on a range of digital health topics, such as:

• Can Health Tech Advance Health Equity?
• Bias in the Evolving Landscape of AI in Health Care
• Mental Health Innovation in Virtual Care: Stories of Success and Opportunity.

“CES is the ideal stage to spotlight how technology is allowing people to take control of their health,” Abbott’s Ford said in a recent statement. “Health is at the center of our ability to live a full life, and the acceleration of health technology has the potential to improve more lives in more places than ever before. We look forward to sharing some of the latest health tech advancements and future possibilities at CES 2022.”
