The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) conference is a major event in the tech industry, and it has long been a showcase for Israeli innovation. This year's CES, which took place virtually in January 2021, was no exception, with numerous Israeli companies exhibiting their latest products and technologies.
One Israeli company that caught attention at this year's CES was OrCam, which presented its latest assistive technology for the visually impaired. The OrCam MyEye 2.0 is a small, portable device that can be attached to a pair of glasses and helps users read texts, recognize faces, and identify products by using artificial intelligence and computer vision.
Another Israeli company that made waves at CES was storeDot, which showcased its breakthrough battery technology. StoreDot has developed a new type of lithium-ion battery that can be fully charged in just five minutes, making it a potential game-changer for the electric vehicle industry. The company has already received significant investment from major automakers and is working on bringing its technology to market.
In the field of health and wellness, Israeli company Vielight presented its new brain photobiomodulation device, the Neuro Alpha. The Neuro Alpha is a portable headset that uses low-level lasers to stimulate the brain and improve cognitive function. The company claims that the device can help with issues such as memory loss, ADHD, and insomnia.
Another Israeli healthtech company, MedyMatch, demonstrated its artificial intelligence-powered platform for improving the accuracy of medical diagnoses. The platform uses machine learning algorithms to analyze patient data and provide doctors with a list of possible diagnoses, helping to reduce diagnostic errors and improve patient outcomes.
These are just a few examples of the innovative technologies that Israeli companies brought to CES 2021. With a thriving startup ecosystem and a culture of innovation, Israel is consistently a major player at the annual conference and is likely to continue to be so in the future.
