CES 2019: 10 tech toys I’d totally buy

USATODAY - Tech Top Stories

Out of the 4,400 exhibitors in Las Vegas for the massive consumer tech show, here are the best ones we found. As you might expect, covering the massive Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas each year is a thrill for tech enthusiasts, as you get to kick the tires, so to speak, on gadgets and gear not commercially available for months or, sometimes, years. But when you're talking about 4,400 exhibitors, you bet there's no shortage of ho-hum products, blatant copycats, or ridiculous concepts. Still, within the vast convention halls housing CES, there are gems to be mined. When it comes to products I'd actually buy, the following are a few 2019 standouts for me so far.


A personal health assistant robot that can dispense your daily vitamins and medication

The world's first AI healthcare companion for the home can store, dispense and even order medication The rise of fitness trackers and exercise programs with a cult following have made it clear that our society is desperate to get and remain healthy. Those looking for a high-tech way to keep track of their well-being might be interested in a new home health robot called Pillo. A combination of face recognition, machine learning, automation and video conferencing make Pillo a personal health assistant that can even dispense your daily vitamins and medication. According to the company responsible for the device, the system uses facial recognition and can identify the face and voice of every user in a household, and dispense the right pills at the appropriate time. The medication is stored in a tamper-proof casing that can fit up to 250 medium-sized pills.
