A future trip to the bathroom is more like an instant checkup
While we all visit the bathroom multiple times a day, there are times when going into the bathroom can be downright scary. Stepping on the scale, looking in the mirror when you know something appearance-wise may be off, and even brushing your teeth – can all be tedious tasks. However, these new breakthroughs can change the game when it comes to addressing your health at home.

Turn your mirror into a personal coach as you get ready. This BMirror by CareOS from Baracoda will change your daily routine by not only offering touchless information like guided toothbrushing or the weather so you know how to prepare for the day, but it also offers in-depth health checks.
The BMirror has a hi-def camera and can analyze certain skin and health conditions – like identifying a mole or if your hair is too oily so it can recommend when you may want to schedule an appointment with a doctor or dermatologist.
3. BHeart health tracker never needs charging
The watch uses your body heat, motion, and solar sensors to stay powered so it can continuously monitor your health

This smartwatch is an entirely different health tracker than we’re used to. Unlike watches or fitness bands that require us to remember to charge them and then actually put them back on and wear them after charging, this band promises “endless” battery power by you simply wearing it.
It uses your body heat, motion, and solar sensors to stay powered so it can continuously monitor your health. Another change from our standard smartwatches is that there isn’t a digital face telling you all the information. Still, it tracks and stores everything in an app so you can check your stats, and it will also give you personalized tips.

This may be the toothbrush of the future, allowing you to cut that brush time way down from 2 minutes to allegedly only 10 seconds.
The brush has bristles to cover either the top or bottom half of your mouth all at once, so all you have to do is put it over your teeth, move it back and forth for a few seconds, and do the same on the opposite half.
Starting at $84.99, the Y-brush costs less than some of the most popular electric toothbrushes on the market while claiming to take much less time.
