Lumafield takes a look at modern health wearables, to including scans to take a look inside.
Health wearables have become the most personal technology we own, to the point that some of us take them with us to bed every night. Entering the mainstream around 2015 with the launch of the Apple Watch, fitness tracking soon became a daily biometric habit and paved the way for medical-grade sensors to move from clinics to consumers.
Today, they sit against our skin, read our rhythms, and turn small biological signals into streams of data. Each and every one of them has to operate safely and precisely where the human body is least forgiving of error.
This month we decided to use industrial CT to examine four examples that define this new frontier: a smart ring, a continuous glucose monitor, an on-body injector, and a hearing aid. They all reflect different branches of a fusion between medical and consumer design. These devices measure, treat us, or enhance our abilities, but they all ultimately rely on the same discipline of building trust through engineering excellence.
They take a look at:
- Smart Ring, Oura, 2025
- Continuous Glucose Monitor, Dexcom, 2025
- On-Body Injector, Omnipod, 2022
- Hearing Aid, Jabra Enhance Select 50, 2024
