Looking Beyond Tech for Health at CES 2017 – the Social Determinants

I’m at CES 2017 in Las Vegas all this week looking for signs of health in new technology announcements. While it’s no surprise there are hundreds of new and new-and-improved digital health innovations on the exhibition floor, you can look beyond those aisles to other companies who are new entrants in health. Arguably, these companies can bolster peoples’ health at least as much as activity tracking and calorie counting.

Here are five examples I wrote about in my Huffington Post column yesterday, The Social Determinants of Health Live At CES 2017:

Safety – Liberty Mutual

Nutrition – Terraillon

Healthy Sex Life – OhMiBod

Clean Air – Airthings

Clean Water – RayVio
