CES is the world’s gathering place for all those who thrive on the business of consumer technologies. It has served as the proving ground for innovators and breakthrough technologies for 50 years — the global stage where next-generation innovations are introduced to the marketplace.

Owned and produced by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA)®, it attracts the world’s business leaders and pioneering thinkers.

Check out some highlights:

First up our Dr. Nick from The Incrementalist was behind the mic at the Digital Health Summit getting the answers to where are we now and where are we going? The Digital Health Summit, produced by Living in Digital Times, convenes one of the broadest spectrum of health care and technology audiences in the world.

Blood pressure-sensing earbuds are coming in 2020
By Scott Stein – CNET (@CNET) – There’s one big health measurement that’s really important, yet keeps eluding wearable tech: blood pressure. I measure my own blood pressure sometimes — I have high blood pressure. I tried Omron’s FDA-cleared inflatable-cuff blood pressure watch, HeartGuide, last year.

Consumerization Hits Health, in a Big Way

Consumerization has very definitely come to dominate the tech landscape. But those of us working in healthcare, while often excited by consumer health developments, have a weirdly distorted view of our place in this tech world. When I ask attendees at my talks, and colleagues at my hospital where healthcare IT spending fits in the broader world, I never get an answer that remotely resembles reality. When I ask what are the dominant companies in health technology, I get a list of top EHR vendors.

By Mercey Livingston and Sarah Mitroff
Health tech always has a big presence at CES, and that’s no different in 2020.
