The Smart Health Tech Worth Knowing Now

High blood pressure affects a third of adults globally – and nearly half don’t know they have it. Hilo is stepping in to change that with a wearable that makes monitoring effortless. Instead of a bulky cuff or a once-a-year GP reading, this sleek wrist device tracks your blood pressure automatically in the background all day, every day. After the initial set-up and a quick monthly calibration, it logs your readings as you live your life – no squeezing or faff required. The app takes your readings and turns them into clean, easy-to-read graphs, trends and personal insights so you can see exactly how your blood pressure behaves in a normal day – something standard cuffs can’t show you. You can even generate shareable reports to take to your doctor. Backed by more than 13 clinical trials, it’s one of the most reliable ways to track blood pressure in real-world conditions. 

£209.99 for the device; annual membership is £60 per year.

New studies show depression isn’t just about a chemical imbalance – it’s also linked to how the brain’s networks communicate. Flow is the first at-home device designed to gently support these pathways. It looks like a lightweight headset and uses soft, clinically tested pulses to help encourage healthier brain activity, almost like giving your mind a gentle reset. It’s already being used within the NHS, where many people notice improvements within two to three weeks. The device is medication-free, non-invasive and pairs with an app that offers expert guidance and mood tools. For anyone who hasn’t found traditional treatments helpful – or simply wants an additional, evidence-backed option alongside therapy or medication – Flow is one of the most accessible ways to get support at home.

If you like the idea of tracking your health but don’t want to wear something sporty or obvious, the Vertu Meta ring is one of the most discreet options available. Made from lightweight crystal and weighing only 5.7g, it looks like a simple piece of jewellery, yet it quietly keeps an eye on the areas women often want more clarity on – sleep quality, stress levels, heart rate, blood oxygen and recovery. The companion app breaks everything down into clear, easy-to-read insights rather than overwhelming charts, so you can quickly understand what’s supporting your energy and what might be draining it. One of the ring’s biggest benefits is the built-in support: 24/7 access to remote medical consultations, plus optional family data sharing if you want someone close to you to stay in the loop. There are no subscription fees either, which is rare for a premium wearable. 

From £750.

Most DNA tests tell you where your ancestors lived. This one tells you how your body functions and how to optimise it. At the core is methylation – essentially your body’s control system which helps it produce energy, process hormones, repair cells and clear toxins. When it runs well, you feel well. When it’s slower, you might notice low energy, poor sleep or inflammation. Healf’s test looks at 13 genes involved in these pathways to show what your body may need more support with. For women in midlife, it can be especially revealing – it highlights how well your body produces energy, where you might experience inflammation and what could be underpinning sleep fluctuations or increased fatigue. Instead of medical jargon, results arrive as clear, digestible insights with simple lifestyle tweaks and nutritional priorities. You can also opt for a custom supplement protocol or a 30-day plan built by a practitioner. 

From £299; supplements and practitioner add-ons optional.
