The Consumer Electronics Show 2025 highlighted innovative technologies with considerable potential for healthcare, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and sensor technologies. Notable advances that were showcased included products that leverage AI to personalize health management, such as devices capable of recommending binaural beat stimulation, analyzing speech patterns to detect language impairment, and predicting blood pressure through sleep data analysis. AI applications to enhance sleep quality, reduce snoring, and assess the caloric content of children's meals were presented. However, the accuracy of these products remains inadequate for clinical use, which limits their applications in community settings. This showcase also featured advances in both contact and noncontact sensor technologies. Contact-type sensors, such as wearable rings and sensors designed to measure vital signs, including pulse rate, blood glucose, and blood pressure, have been developed to mitigate discomfort while maintaining high accuracy. Noncontact sensors employing radar and remote photoplethysmography technologies have further demonstrated promise for vital sign monitoring without physical contact, although maintaining accuracy during movement remains a challenge. AI integration with sensors was further demonstrated by the development of an electronic stethoscope utilizing microelectromechanical systems and deep learning algorithms to facilitate the perception of heart and breath sounds, emulating the functionality of conventional stethoscopes. Furthermore, advances in laser-based blood glucose monitoring and wearable robotic belts designed to assist gait have underscored the progress in devices aimed at enhancing patient care and daily living. These technologies hold considerable potential to profoundly transform healthcare systems, particularly in home and community settings.
2025年消费电子展重点展示了对医疗保健具有巨大潜力的创新技术,尤其是人工智能(AI)和传感器技术。展示的显著进展包括利用人工智能实现健康管理个性化的产品,例如能够推荐双耳节拍刺激、分析语音模式以检测语言障碍以及通过睡眠数据分析预测血压的设备。还展示了人工智能在提高睡眠质量、减少打鼾以及评估儿童餐热量含量方面的应用。然而,这些产品的准确性仍不足以用于临床,这限制了它们在社区环境中的应用。此次展示还展示了接触式和非接触式传感器技术的进展。已经开发出接触式传感器,如可穿戴指环和用于测量包括脉搏率、血糖和血压在内的生命体征的传感器,以减轻不适感同时保持高精度。采用雷达和远程光电容积描记术技术的非接触式传感器在无需身体接触的生命体征监测方面进一步展现出前景,尽管在运动过程中保持准确性仍然是一项挑战。利用微机电系统和深度学习算法开发的电子听诊器进一步展示了人工智能与传感器的集成,以促进对心脏和呼吸音的感知,模拟传统听诊器的功能。此外,基于激光的血糖监测和旨在辅助步态的可穿戴机器人腰带的进展突出了旨在改善患者护理和日常生活的设备的进步。这些技术具有巨大潜力,能够深刻改变医疗保健系统,尤其是在家庭和社区环境中。
