Best Derivatives in 2024

Here is a selection of the most notable innovations we've seen in 2024.

Eyelash extension bot

Getting eyelash extensions is generally an uncomfortable process, requiring clients to lie on their backs on a special bed with tape under their eyes for about two hours. However, a new technology has been developed by Luum Lash that aims to dramatically improve the experience.

The company has developed an innovative robot that uses soft plastic tools instead of traditional sharp tools, and includes an advanced safety mechanism to separate the tools from the device before they touch the client. It also uses machine learning techniques to achieve high precision and efficiency in applying eyelashes.

As a result of these innovations, the session time has been significantly reduced, as the eyelash extension process can now be completed in just an hour and a half, compared to the usual two to three hours.

Home Examination Device

Withings is introducing a revolutionary device called BeamO, which represents a quantum leap in the field of home healthcare. This innovative device allows users to conduct comprehensive medical examinations from the comfort of their home, without the need to visit the doctor’s office.

BeamO contains four advanced sensors built into one small device that resembles a TV remote control. This amazing device can accurately measure body temperature, listen to lung sounds to assess lung function, and check heart activity. In addition to measuring blood oxygen levels.

Thanks to a dedicated app that accompanies the device, users can track the health of up to eight family members or friends.

AI Toilet

TrueLoo from Toy Labs is a smart toilet seat equipped with AI technology. It visually scans your stool and urine for any abnormal or worrisome changes. It can also send alerts and health data directly to your doctor or healthcare team.

Sleep Faster

Stephanie Brewis and her brother Michael created a device they call the Moon Bird. The device is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and has no screen at all, making it an ideal tool for breathing training.

To use the Moon Bird, you simply hold it in your hand. When the device is gently extended, take a deep breath, and when it contracts, exhale. These soothing prompts guide the user to adjust their rapid or irregular breathing patterns to more relaxed and calm patterns. The best part about this device is that it is suitable for use by all age groups, including adults and children.

Portable Water Filter

LifeStraw has launched the “Sip”, a reusable stainless steel water straw. The straw features a high-performance microfilter with 0.2 micron pores, ensuring the removal of 99.999999% of bacteria, 99.999% of parasites, and 99.999% of microplastics.

A single user can use the straw to drink up to 1,000 liters of pure water during its lifetime. The straw comes with a dedicated carrying case for easy transport and storage.

Knee Pain Relief Robot

In an innovative move, Arc"teryx Equipment, a leading manufacturer of camping and hiking equipment, has teamed up with Skip, a startup that emerged from Google's X Labs, to develop advanced jogging pants called Mo/Go.

These innovative pants feature lightweight electric motors integrated into the knee area. This technology provides strong support to the leg muscles during ascent, helping the wearer save up to 40% of the usual effort. This support also makes the wearer feel lighter, as if he or she has lost 30 pounds.

Innovation to save the lung

Transporting a human lung from a donor to its recipient requires very precise conditions. To overcome these challenges, the Baroguard Donor Lung Preservation System was developed by Paragonix Technologies. This advanced system provides a suitable environment, where pressure and temperature are continuously controlled, protecting the lung from potential damage during transport.

Thanks to the Baroguard system, lungs can now be transported much longer distances Before. The lung can be stored in this system for up to 18 hours, while the traditional storage time in ice does not exceed 8 hours.
