The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) has named Healium a CES 2022 Innovation Awards Honoree for its patented technology that connects biometric data from consumer wearables to virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) apps.

The CES Innovation Awards program, owned and produced by the CTA, is an annual competition honoring outstanding design and engineering in 27 consumer technology product categories. An elite panel of industry expert judges, including members of the media, designers, engineers and more, reviewed submissions based on innovation, engineering and functionality, aesthetic and design. 

Healium’s products are used worldwide with the U.S. military, in schools, with elite athletes in the NFL and MLB, and by wellness practitioners to equip high performers with the brain and heart rate training they need to excel. Healium teaches users to learn to self-regulate so they can focus faster, stress less, and perform better. 

“Healium is the first immersive media channel for hardware-agnostic wearables,” said Sarah Hill, Healium’s CEO who developed the technology to ease her own anxiety as a former TV news reporter. “Think of Healium like a video game you play with your smartwatch or EEG headband. Mental fitness is an important way to build resilience with drugless, non-harmful coping mechanisms. We’re delighted CES has recognized our technology that is an important bridge between biometric data and XR content.”

Healium can be seen at CES 2022 in its booth near the entrance to the North Hall’s health pavilion.
