Smart Bathroom Mats

CES 2020 Innovation Awards Honoree Mateo Monitors Weight & Posture

— January 8, 2020 — Tech

The Smart Bath Mat was recognized as a CES 2020 Innovation Awards Honoree and is currently on display at the conference for the first time ever.

The Smart Bathroom Mat looks is as plush as any standard cloth mat and doesn't give away the fact that it boasts the ability to capture data on one's weight, posture and body composition. After collecting a myriad of information with medical-grade pressure sensing technology, Mateo sends data to a companion app that makes information on everything from hydration and balance to muscles and bones easy to understand.
