I got to try out Eli Health’s Hormometer in person last night. I was fully expecting it to say my stress levels were high but my cortisol levels were apparently within range. Maybe my body is just used to all that CES adrenaline after all these years. In any case, here’s what using an at-home, portable hormone test is like.
I ranked the Circular Ring Slim dead last in my smart ring battle royale. When I heard their CES 2025 announcement, I was cautiously optimistic that a redemption arc was in the making with the Circular Ring 2. Now that I’ve seen and tried it, I’m even more hopeful. The hardware is such an improvement — all that’s left to see is if the software is too when it launches.
I’m here at CES Unveiled trying out Eli Health’s Hormometer. I had to do it twice because this dry desert air makes it hard to generate a lot of spit. Here I am taking the cortisol (stress) test.
Preeeeetty sure my levels are going to be high. I find out in... three minutes.
Just in case you were wondering how Sean gets his footage for his social videos, it’s using a pair of Meta Ray-Bans, an Osmo, and... a very stable chest iPhone camera situation. Iconic.
I’m a skeptic when it comes to real-time translation tech, but I’m intrigued by the Timekettle W4 Pro buds and the newly announced Babel OS. You can create a custom lexicon for specific words like names, industry jargon, locations, and most importantly, slang! We’ll have to see how well it works, but it acknowledges one of my biggest pet peeves with translation tech: how fast language evolves.
