CES 2025: Medical Technology between Daily Life and Clinic

In hospital: holistic monitoring of vital data

For once, a wearable for clinical use: Sky Labs from South Korea presented an innovative wearable for medical monitoring at CES 2025 under the project name Apollon. Winner of the CES Innovation Award Honoree, the "Cart Vital" system combines a wrist monitor with a ring sensor for comprehensive recording of vital parameters.

The device, which was specially developed for hospital patients and medical professionals, enables the continuous monitoring of various health indicators. These include the automatic measurement of oxygen saturation (SpO₂), pulse rate, blood pressure, respiratory rate and skin temperature. Body temperature can also be recorded if required. The ergonomically designed ring sensor is connected to the wrist module with a flexible cable. A silicone coating allows it to be adapted to different finger sizes. The battery unit was deliberately integrated into the wrist module to optimize wearing comfort. The display on the wrist allows patients to view their health data directly.

Developed in collaboration with the Ilsan Hospital of the South Korean health service NHIS, the system supports medical professionals in patient monitoring and therapy management through comprehensive data collection. The compact design with bundled connections for power supply, charging and data transmission ensures easy handling in everyday clinical practice.
