Overview
February is American Heart Month, encouraging people everywhere to pay attention to their cardiovascular health. CES® 2021 exhibitors put innovations on display that make heart health monitoring accessible, safe and convenient.
Each February, American Heart Month motivates Americans to adopt healthy lifestyles and habits to prevent heart disease and decrease risk for other severe illnesses.
Though heart disease is a leading cause of death in the U.S., it is largely preventable.
Technology innovations in health care have accelerated the ways consumers can take control of their own health, monitoring their health statuses continuously instead of waiting for visible signs of illness to see a doctor.
At CES® 2021, digital health companies unveiled various ways that technology is a health lifeline. Explore a few of our CES 2021 exhibitors showing how tech can help patients take care of their hearts every day.
