The ALEX RS is a bilateral upper-limb exoskeleton designed for post-stroke rehabilitation, covering 92% of the human arm's natural range of motion and is CE certified as a Class IIa medical device.

"I would like to sincerely apologise to any patients who have been affected and recalled for a scan as I understand receiving such news can be unsettling."

Food logging can be done in a few ways, including searching a database, scanning barcodes, or using AI-based camera analysis. Simpler items like eggs and fruit are identified well, but complex meals can be frustrating due to lighting and AI limitations.

The Ultrahuman Ring Pro builds on the Ultrahuman Ring Air's features with several key improvements, including an impressive battery life of up to 15 days, which is more than twice as long as the Air.

Since 1990, the incidence of hypertension has increased globally, with up to one in three adults worldwide affected by it. Most of those people have no idea they have it. If people could diagnose and monitor hypertension at home, the World Health Organization estimates that up to 76 million lives could be saved with easy fixes, like stopping smoking or adjusting diet.

The glasses, developed over ten years, can guide people living with early-stage dementia through daily activities by identifying everyday objects and providing audio commentary and putting up visual prompts.

As someone who comes alive at 2 am and can easily sink into an hour-long vortex of consuming YouTube shorts, I started using an Oura ring to act as a sort of pseudo-parent. It's motivated me to stand up from my desk more often, swap my mid-day social media breaks for 20-minute meditations, and develop a more calming before-bed routine than letting one episode of Vanderpump Rules turn into three.

Recent surveys estimate more than 6.7 million Australians - almost half of all workers, and the majority in Sydney, Melbourne and Canberra - work from home at least some of the time in paid or unpaid roles. With that increase in working from home, it's easy to spend too long sitting, which is now recognised as bad for our health.

"I heard a pop in my head, like a big bubble," she said. "I tried to scream, but it wasn't a normal scream. I knew something wasn't right."

We use the IMU sensors to detect which exercise the user is performing and identify the period engaging in concentric, eccentric, or isometric hold. These are the three main types of lifting exercises; you might know them as contracting, lengthening, or static exercises. The Fort uses the wrist as a proxy for bar velocity, and the company is seeking FDA clearance and will also be pursuing large, third-party studies from independent labs.

I felt too intimidated to try weight lifting again on my own, but wanted to experience the benefits those gym workouts provide, which is quite different to my typical routine of pilates, tennis and pole. Simultaneously, I've been working toward a solid home gym situation (while understanding my limited space in a one-bedroom in Queens). I began investigating full out home gym tech, and AEKE stood out as the most exciting of the bunch, because it most similarly aligned with having a personal trainer. I tried out the AEKE Smart Home Gym K1 with the Bench.

January might be coming to a close, but the focus on wellness doesn't have to die with it. If anything, it's a good time to check in with those 2026 goals and see what you want to prioritise for the rest of the year. To that end, we've gathered some of the best deals we've seen in the past few weeks that will help you tick off every good intention you set this month.

Wellune looks like a small, sculptural lamp. A slender white stem curves upward from a flat circular base, blooming into a soft, rounded head that sits somewhere between a sprouting bud and a modernist desk light. The head detaches magnetically, which is a lovely detail because it turns setup into something almost playful. You hold this smooth, egg-like dome in your hand, place it on the stem, and it clicks into position with a satisfying connection.

Petal is a bra insert that uses bio-impedance sensors and electrical measurements to monitor blood flow near the heart. Because wearers position the insert right next to the heart, the device can capture more accurate readings than your typical smartwatch, Petal says. The device comes in one size and fits snug against each breast. It's made with biocompatible materials, including a soft European fabric and a polyurethane-coated interior.

If there's one thing that stops people using their smart rings over the long term, it's the battery life. After all, they're so unobtrusive, it's easy to forget to drop it on the charging plate every few days. It doesn't take long for your pricey gadget to become little more than a very expensive piece of jewelry.

There's something quietly radical about designing for pain. Not the dramatic, cinematic kind, but the daily grind of chronic discomfort that shapes how millions of people move through their lives. That's exactly what Madhav Binu, Kriti V, and Himvall Sindhu set out to tackle with Revive, a home-based rehabilitation device for knee osteoarthritis patients. The numbers tell a sobering story. Forty percent of India's elderly population lives with knee osteoarthritis, a condition that doesn't just hurt.

As a fitness writer and mom, I'm constantly multitasking. Whether it's meeting deadlines or managing my household, it can sometimes be hard to put myself first. I prefer walking and running outdoors for cardio, and I even have a jogging stroller to bring my son along for the ride. Now that winter has set in, it's harder to get movement in. If you work remotely and don't want to skip out on your step count, an under-desk treadmill might be a good option to have on hand.

A tennis match usually starts with rituals you can set your watch by. A towel tug, a ball bounce, a glance at the strings. This year, a different ritual stole the first spotlight, because officials asked top players to take off a wrist wearable before they played, and the moment landed like a plot twist you did not order. This piece walks you through what happened, why it happened, and what it says about where tennis sits with athlete data right now.

When people breathe, speak, sing or clear their throats, their bodies are in constant motion. Air flowing through the lungs, the oscillation of vocal folds in the throat and the rhythmic expansion of the chest all produce tiny vibrations that carry valuable information about physiology and health. However, constructing a device that can capture all of these physiological signals has remained a challenge.

CES 2026 is here. While the official event begins Tuesday, ZDNET's team of experts has already gotten an early look at some of the most exciting tech stories coming out of Las Vegas.

I was able to take the Sidekick for a spin around the CES showfloor and it was a truly surprising sensation. The best way I can describe walking with the Sidekick powered on is that with every step forward there's a noticeable upward push from under your heel. It wasn't enough to throw me off balance, but it did feel a bit strange.
