Baracoda may not be as well-known as other smart home brands like Wyze and iRobot, but the health tech company had one of the coolest product reveals at CES 2024 with the BMind Smart Mirror. Designed to improve your mental wellness by identifying your mood and managing stress with AI, the unique product walked away from the show with a 2024 CES Innovation Award.

BMind uses generative AI and natural language processing to determine the user’s mood before suggesting various exercises like guided meditation or self-affirmations. Put simply, it’ll try to determine your needs based on your voice, posture, and other observable factors. The end goal is to help improve your mood using a variety of exercises, lights, sounds, and visuals — all of which are carried on board in the mirror.

Despite all this fancy tech, the smart mirror is designed to fit into a standard bathroom. More impressively, it does all this without the need for a companion smartphone app. Instead, it builds on the existing CareOS for its interface and uses programs from ThrivePal to help boost your mood. BMind is also built around privacy, with all your information stored locally. And it’ll never share your details without your consent.

“Technology that can monitor for subtle changes in health has the potential of improving the quality of millions of lives,” said Thomas Serval, CEO of Baracoda. “Our mental state exerts a strong effect on our sense of physical well-being. Including mood in our daily wellness check-ins creates a fuller picture that represents a powerful step toward redefining preventative health.”

Beyond BMind, Baracoda showed off its BBlance smart mat scale and BHeart health tracker at CES 2024. Combined with BMind, it’s clear Baracoda has big smart home plans for the coming year.

The BMind will start at $500 and will be available in the last quarter of 2024. Expect to learn more about the unique product in the coming months.

Beatbot makes a splash at CES 2024 with all-in-one robotic pool cleaner
A floating Beatbot robot collects debris from the edges of a pool.

The worst part of owning a pool is trying to keep it clean. Removing debris, scrubbing the walls and floor, and managing water quality is practically a part-time job, making a backyard oasis more hassle than expected. Beatbot hopes to make that a thing of the past with the reveal of the AquaSense Pro at CES 2024 -- a comprehensive robotic pool cleaner that automates most of these processes.

While most competitors will clean either the bottom of your pool or the surface, the Beatbot manages to do both using a chamber that fills with water to sink the bot like a submarine and then empties to float. Using an accompanying smartphone app, you can have the robot clean the floor and walls of your pool, skim debris off the surface, and even improve the clarity of your water by automatically dispensing chemicals based on the size of your pool.
