Health & Wellness

The key to good oral health is to locate and remove any debris between the teeth before it
becomes a major problem. Despite the fact that millions of people in the world brush every
day, they do not know if they are doing it correctly. The winning device in the health and
wellness category seems to have the answer. Colgate Plaqless Pro is an electric toothbrush
that has optical sensors in its head to detect any build-up in real time. A ring of light on its
handle indicates to the user if a certain area of their mouth is completely clean.

Smart home
A warming bed has won an award in the smart home category. Climate 360, from Sleep
Number, balances temperature and optimizes the body's natural sleep cycles. Specifically, it
can heat the bed up to 100 degrees and cool it down to 12. According to the company, clinical
research has shown that this bed can lower body temperature throughout the night to keep
the user comfortably asleep and thus decrease the number of times that wakes up.
 Virtual reality

Although it may seem like a somewhat futuristic invention, the winner of this technology
allows users to play video games or navigate applications with their minds. NextMind offers a
new way to interact by connecting the brain directly with virtual reality or augmented reality
headsets creating a totally immersive experience. Its technology incorporates algorithms based
on artificial intelligence that decode the user's intention and translate neural signals into
digital commands. By simply placing the device on the back of the head, it would be possible,
for example, to navigate in an app without the need for traditional controls or accessories.
