Every year, the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the place for brands to introduce their newest health, fitness, and lifestyle devices. To hone in on what's hot—and avoid the flops—we’re roaming the massive trade floor in Vegas and snapping shots of the most promising products as we go. Watch this space as we continue to update it with even more game-changing gadgets.
Check out the newest health, fitness, and lifestyle devices from the Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas
Withings Smart Body Analyzer at CES 2013

This do-it-all device is a big upgrade from your standard bathroom scale. Step on the Withings Smart Body Analyzer ($150, withings.com) to get readings of your body weight, BMI, and body fat percentage along with resting heart rate, a good indicator of overall fitness. The scale also monitors indoor air quality, including room temperature and CO2 levels, and syncs all its data with your iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth or a wireless internet connection.

Lark Life Wristband at CES 2013
Last summer, fitness wristbands (ie the Nike Fuelband and Jawbone Up) hit the market and promised to change the way that we track our activity. Because they're taking off in a big way, we figured we'd see at least one or two newbies—if not a dozen—promoting bands that offer even greater benefit to your overall health. The first promising device we spotted was the Lark Life wristband ($150, lark.com), a 24/7 activity tracker monitors your movement, sleep hours, nutrition information, and mood by prompting you with questions throughout the day. In response, a coaching tool spits out tips. Did you spend all day cranking through a home improvement project? The device will probably tell you to take a hot shower and hit the sack early.
Masimo iSpO2 at CES 2013

The plug-in fingertip reader on Masimo's iSpO2 pulse oximeter ($250, iSpO2.com) uses LED lights to turn your iPhone, iPad or iPod into a pulsometer. In addition to a pulse reading, the device also measures blood oxygenation levels, which can be a huge help to anybody training for a high-altitude hike or climb.

iHealth Pulse Oximeter at CES 2013

Looks like there's some competition among consumer-grade pulsometers. The iHealth Pulse Oximeter (ihealthlabs.com, price not yet announced) also measures pulse (BPM) and oxygen saturation in the blood (SpO2) from an iOS device.

Scanadu SCOUT at CES 2013

Feel a fever coming on? Touch the Scanadu SCOUT ($150) to your temple and in less than 10 seconds you'll get a reading of your body temperature, along with your blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs. The device (it's the small white box on the left) then sends the data to your smartphone to help you—and your doctor—get clued in to what's happening with your health.
