JAN 2016
The focus at CES 2016 was one of evolution.
Evolution of sensors, wearables, products and
ideas. Every major manufacturer evolved their
product and service offering in 2015 – but new
products are only as meaningful as the
connected, frictionless experiences they provide.
We saw a renewed interest and commitment in
the health and wellness space to push the needle
forward and make 2016 the year of connecting
the disconnected.

Fashion took center stage at CES 2016.
From smart jewelry maker WISEWEAR to
the new men’s clothing line by Samsung,
everyone is looking to capitalize on the
quantified self trend. Most data being
captured continues to revolve around
personal health and fitness goals – with a
handful of devices adding GPS tracking to
their product lines for personal security
monitoring. There was recognition that
any wearable device needs to look good
to have a chance of widespread adoption.

accompanying mobile app providing
simple one-click access to send
relevant data to ones physician. Remote

HEALTH
There was no shortage of health
specific sensors and medical
monitoring devices at CES 2016. From
sleep aids like the new it bed by Sleep
Number to devices that manage
chronic pain like Quell to wearable
medical alerts that announce when
someone has “fallen and they can’t get
u.” We’ve reached an mHealth tipping
point. To be successful, these devices
need to connect to a larger ecosytem.
The critical question to ask now is “will
my users use it” and not simply “can
they use it”

machines are already being used in
healthcare - e.g., printing

and medicines. The future could
involve printing your own
medicines at home and cutting the
pharmacist out of the equation.
