Winnings also used CES to introduce Cardio Checkup, an in-app service that is now available and compatible with all Wings devices with ECG capability, such as the ScanWatch. In addition to alerting you to possible atrial fibrillation conditions, true to its name, it will check you every quarter and give you access to experts through the app.

And that’s not all—I still have a few more days of meetings to go. It’s a strange time to see CES filled with so much home medtech. The coronavirus pandemic has spurred the rise of new ways of digital health, but the year 2024 has been in the reckoning – CNBC analyzed 39 public digital health companies and noted that two-thirds of them were inactive for the entire year, or were inactive.
The pullback can be attributed to the fact that consumers have decided, logically, that we strength I don’t want to know this much. It is much easier to monitor your cortisol levels than to do anything about the conditions that produced them, such as quitting your job, or stopping wildfires from happening.
When I spoke with Abbott’s representatives, I found out that I wasn’t the only one who had mucus from getting the strips under my skin. (I’m still waiting for my Apple Watch to track my blood sugar.)
Anyway, I finally pulled myself together and installed Lingo at Pepcom. Under the careful guidance of the Abbott representatives, I pulled up my shirt sleeve, inserted the sensor into the catheter and touched it to my skin. Continue clicking. The sensation was like someone tickling my arm vigorously with their finger—a slight sting, but nothing like a thousand needles of fire going under my skin.
I connected the sensor to the Lingo app and wore it overnight. When I woke up this morning, I discovered—after one night—that I had been hypoglycemic in my sleep. I’ve been getting out of traveling too much and not eating enough at CES! So much for not giving actionable advice. I will eat my words (and a snack before bed).
