A connected manicure system that prints instant nail art onto fingernails, sunglasses designed to double up as a portable media player and a device that allows users to manage and display their non-fungible tokens are among the gadgets featured as CES 2022 Innovation Award honourees.
The gadgets showcased at the ongoing Consumer Electronics Show 2022 have been shortlisted as the most anticipated gadgets of 2022.
The CES Innovation Awards programme is an annual competition honouring outstanding design and engineering in consumer technology products. It recognises honourees in a multitude of consumer technology product categories and distinguishes the highest rated in each.
A panel of industry expert judges review applications in each product category based on the evaluation criteria and the top scoring products are designated as honourees.
Some of CES 2022 Innovation Award honourees:
Honouree: Atomic Form

In under one minute, blood pressure, heart rate, heart rate variability, oxygen saturation, respiration rate and sympathetic stress levels can be detected.
