The Smart Mirror That Stirred CES 2026

Picture this: You're at CES 2026, sitting before a cutting-edge mirror, which captures a quick selfie and evaluates your aging process. That's what many tech journalists experienced recently.

A Blow to Self-Esteem or a Relief?

While some reporters felt a hit to their confidence, others were relieved. Amusingly, the mirror informed me that I look over a decade younger than my actual age—proof perhaps of the sunscreen’s benefits.

Nuralogix's Longevity Mirror

Meet Nuralogix’s Longevity Mirror, priced at $899. This innovative gadget utilizes 'transdermal optical imaging' to analyze facial blood flow, providing insights into health metrics like cardiac rate, blood pressure, metabolic and physiological age, mental well-being, and risks related to heart disease. These factor into a longevity score on a 1-100 scale; higher numbers imply better prospects.

Accuracy and Limitations

While the technology offers fascinating insights, treat its results with skepticism. For example, it accurately gauged my nervousness and subpar sleep quality; it also confirmed my smartwatch's heart rate data. My colleague, Antonio Di Benedetto, received results mirroring his real age, though discrepancies arose with metrics like BMI, due to unprogrammed data like real weight.

Additional Features and Future Prospects

For further analysis, a $399/year health concierge service connects users to healthcare professionals. A built-in AI assistant can help interpret results. Available in early 2026, the mirror's initial price includes the first year; subsequent years cost $99.

As longevity tech trends grow, with products from Withings and others aiming at preventive health, the Longevity Mirror stands out for its contactless nature, sparing users from dealing with bodily samples. Whether the average person will embrace this introspective technology remains to be seen, especially when mirrors are typically scrutinizing enough.
