"Imagine walking into CES 2026, sitting down in front of a smart mirror, taking a 30-second selfie, and getting a score for how well you're aging. Well, last night, a bunch of other tech journalists did just that. I witnessed some journalists take critical damage to their self-esteem. Others wiped their brow in relief. Yours truly let out an unholy cackle because the mirror told me I look 11 years younger than I actually am. All hail the protective powers of sunscreen."
"This particular smart mirror is Nuralogix's $899 Longevity Mirror. It uses something called "transdermal optical imaging" to measure blood flow patterns in your face. From that, it assesses a variety of health metrics, including heart rate, blood pressure, cardiovascular disease risk, metabolic health, physiological age, and even mental health. All of these metrics then feed into a longevity score from 1 to 100. The higher the number, the better."
At CES 2026, attendees tried a smart mirror that delivers a longevity score after a 30-second selfie. The device, Nuralogix's $899 Longevity Mirror, uses transdermal optical imaging to measure facial blood flow patterns. The mirror estimates heart rate, blood pressure, cardiovascular disease risk, metabolic health, physiological age, and mental health, then combines those metrics into a single longevity score from 1 to 100. Responses to the results ranged from lowered self-esteem to relief, with at least one person receiving a result indicating they looked 11 years younger, attributed to sunscreen use. The technology’s outputs should be interpreted cautiously.
