CES 2026 HealthTech & Physical AI Special
Healthcare just broke out of the hospital.
At CES 2026, we saw pediatric exoskeletons, $600 home longevity diagnostics, AI mirrors estimating biological age, and wearables starting to replace routine clinic visits.

❓ Big questions CES 2026 forced us to confront
Would you trust an AI mirror to assess your stress and biological age?
Is a $600 home longevity station the beginning of consumer-grade diagnostics?
Can robots with haptic feedback reshape remote surgery and rehabilitation?
Will AI wearables replace routine hospital visits for millions of people?
Core tension:
Healthcare is shifting from episodic treatment to continuous intelligence.
🌊 Why this episode matters
CES 2026 revealed four HealthTech shifts already underway:
🔹Healthcare moves home
Longevity stations, mirrors, and wearables bring diagnostics out of clinics and into living rooms.
🔹Physical AI meets the body
Exoskeletons, neuro-rehab systems, and haptic robots directly augment movement and recovery.
🔹Biomarkers go real-time
From EEG wearables to AI nutrition guidance, health data becomes continuous — not annual.
🔹Platforms replace point devices
HealthTech is converging into systems that monitor, predict, and adapt over time.
This isn’t speculative medicine.
These products are already being used.

Healthcare didn’t just get smarter at CES 2026.
It got closer. It got constant. It got physical.
If this episode helped you see where HealthTech is really going, forward it to one person who still thinks AI in healthcare is “five years away.”
