- Omnia is a proof-of-concept smart mirror from Withings that scans the body to display heart, lungs, and other metabolic data.
- The smart mirror provides personalized health metrics and can send data to medical professionals for better advice.
- The mirror also features an AI voice assistant to talk you through your health metrics and improve them.
The CES 2025 is off to a good start, and we are seeing some head-turning devices already on its first day. One of the gadgets that caught our eye is the new Omnia smart home mirror from Withings. The company is popular for making smartwatches, smart scales and other health monitoring devices. They made their presence known this year with a proof-of-concept body scanning mirror called Omnia.
As showcased in this X post , the Omnia mirror will perform a 360 scan of your body and has a base that measures your weight. Then it will offer crucial metrics related to your heart, lungs, weight, and other metabolic data. All these details will be available to read on the mirror display, and an AI voice assistant will offer feedback to help you stay fit. In addition to that, it can also send your details to medical professionals for better advice.

Omnia can be controlled via touch, just like most smart devices out there. The system isn’t a standalone product, as it pulls your health data from multiple devices. The base of the mirror measures your weight, EKG, and body composition . Meanwhile, the mirror could be pulling your sleep and heart data from Withings smartwatch.
As a conceptual device, it is built upon the idea of ecosystems. However, it is a long way from release as the mirror is still pending clinical reviews and additional AI integration. But some of its features will make their way to the Withings app later down the line this year.
While smart home mirrors aren’t anything new, they haven’t been able to prove their worth yet. Withings’ Omnia only gives hope to those invested in this tech that these mirrors can be beneficial, and sheds light on a new aspect of how they can be helpful for us. I can certainly see myself getting a health report every morning and what I need to do throughout the day to improve my data. For more exciting coverage from CES, stay tuned on Beebom.

- Movano is coming out with their new EvieAI coming to their smart rings.
- It is post-trained on 100,000 medical journals, including FDA-approved content cross-referenced from Harvard, UCLA, and Mayo Clinic.
- The AI chatbot achieves high accuracy rates and doesn’t provide answers to unknown topics.
Nearly every device at CES has AI labeled all over it, given its flexibility of use and marketability. But its incoherence and the room for hallucinations make it a poor choice for medical advice. So, companies stray away from it because of the major repercussions it can have on someone’s health and life. But smart ring maker Movano is coming out with their new health and wellness LLM called EvieAI, offering more reliable medical advice.

So EvieAI will only be pulling its information from this data set reducing its chances of hallucinations. The results speak for themselves as the answers from the AI chatbot are 99% accurate. That’s also because EvieAI confirms whether your query tracks with the Movano’s training data. The AI will also follow industry-standard encryption methods. Since chats are deleted periodically, no one will be able to track them back to the users.
Movano’s CEO John Mastrototaro also mentioned that the AI doesn’t shy away from saying no. If you ask anything related to a topic it hasn’t been trained upon, “it’s not going to tell you because it doesn’t have any information about that” according to Mostratotaro. He further added, “I think that it’s okay to say no if you don’t know the answer to something,”
Movano has recently re-released their Evie Ring to customers which addresses feedback on sleep data and heart rate accuracy. The company has also received FDA clearance for the EvieMED ring which is aimed at remote monitoring and clinical trials of patients. The beta version of the EvieAI will be rolling out starting January 8th to current Evie Ring users in their companion app.
Movano is trying to do something that can change the way people perceive AI. Training their LLM on just medical journals will for sure improve the accuracy of results, and they are going to be better than other general AI models. However, even Doctors coincide with each other on the recent development of new techniques and technologies. So its accuracy and how correct it stands with its answers will be interesting to see.
