Barracoda might not be as well known as other smart home brands like Wyze and iRobot, but the health tech company had a great product. CES 2024 With BMind Smart Mirror. Designed to improve your mental well-being by recognizing your mood and managing stress with AI, the unique product walked away from the show with the CES 2024 Innovation Award.
BMind uses generative AI and natural language processing to determine a user’s mood before suggesting various exercises such as guided meditation or self-affirmation. Simply put, it will try to determine your needs based on your voice, posture and other observable factors. The ultimate goal is to help improve your mood using a variety of exercises, lights, sounds, and visuals, all of which are brought on board in the mirror.
Despite all this cutting-edge technology, the Smart Mirror is designed to fit into a standard bathroom. And even more impressive, it does all this without the need for a companion smartphone app. Instead, it relies on the existing CareOS for its interface and uses ThrivePal’s programs to help improve your mood. BMind is also privacy oriented as all your information is stored locally. And it will never share your data without your consent.
“Technology that can monitor subtle changes in health has the potential to improve the quality of millions of lives,” said Barracuda CEO, Thomas Serval. “Our state of mind has a strong impact on our sense of physical well-being. “Incorporating mood into our daily wellness checks creates a more complete picture that represents a powerful step toward redefining preventive health.”
In addition to BMind, Baracoda showed off its BBlance Smart Mate Scale and BHeart health tracker at CES 2024. Together with BMind, it’s clear that Barracoda has big smart home plans for the coming year.
BMind will start at $500 and will be available in the final quarter of 2024. Expect more information about the unique product in the coming months.
