TL;DR
At CES 2026, Nuralogix showcased an $899 'Longevity Mirror' that scans facial blood-flow patterns to generate health metrics and a 1–100 longevity score. Early demos produced mixed reactions and anecdotal matches for heart rate and blood pressure, while some measurements and the product’s broader accuracy remain uncertain.
What happened
At CES 2026 attendees tried Nuralogix’s Longevity Mirror, a contactless smart mirror that captures a brief facial scan and analyzes transdermal optical imaging to estimate several health indicators. The device produces a composite longevity score from 1 to 100 after assessing metrics such as heart rate, blood pressure, cardiovascular disease risk, metabolic health, physiological age and indicators related to mental health. Demonstrations elicited a range of emotional responses among journalists — from relief to dismay — with some readings aligning with existing wearables and self-reported averages. A Nuralogix representative said the mirror’s blood pressure metric is undergoing the FDA clearance process. Nuralogix plans a Q1 2026 launch; the $899 price includes the first year of service, with an annual subscription after that. The company is also developing a paid health-concierge option and offers an on-device AI assistant to help interpret results.
Why it matters
- Provides a noninvasive, contactless method to estimate cardiovascular and metabolic indicators without blood or other bodily fluids.
- If accurate and validated, the mirror could broaden access to at-home health screening, but preliminary demos show mixed consistency.
- Regulatory status matters: the blood pressure metric is reported to be undergoing FDA clearance, which will affect clinical credibility.
- The device’s subscription and concierge pricing model highlights recurring-cost implications for consumer health hardware.

Quick glossary
- Transdermal optical imaging: A noninvasive technique that analyzes light reflected from the skin to infer blood-flow patterns and related physiological signals.
- Longevity score: A composite number intended to represent overall aging or longevity-related risk, typically derived from multiple health metrics.
- Physiological age: An estimate of biological aging based on health measures, as opposed to chronological age measured in years.
- Health concierge service: A paid offering that connects users to health professionals for personalized interpretation and follow-up on device-generated results.
