The Smart Health Tech Worth Knowing Now
THE EVERYDAY CHECK-IN
Hilo
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.

THE PELVIC FLOOR TRAINER
Smile Makers Pelvic Partner
Pelvic floor issues tend to show up more around perimenopause and menopause, yet so many women still aren’t quite sure what to do – or whether they’re doing the right exercises at all. That’s where Smile Makers comes in. Known for making sexual wellness feel stylish, shame-free and totally normal, it’s now turning its attention to pelvic health with the Pelvic Partner: a small, ergonomic tool that uses gentle vibration feedback to help you find and activate the right muscles – no apps, tracking or data overload involved. Designed to feel more like a friendly guide than a medical device, it makes pelvic floor training less intimidating and a lot more doable. Whether you’re dealing with leaks, a sense of heaviness, general discomfort or just want to feel stronger and more connected to your body, this is support that fits into real life.
£49.95.
THE MOOD SUPPORT
Flow Neuroscience
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.
£399, with the option to rent from £79 per month.

THE SMART RING
Vertu Meta Ring
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.

THE COOLING FIX
Issviva x Embr Wave
Hot flushes and night sweats are two of the most disruptive symptoms of menopause, and the EmbrWave bracelet offers a clever, instant way to manage them. Worn on the inside of the wrist, it delivers bursts of cooling – or comforting warmth – to an area dense with temperature-sensitive nerves, which creates a calming signal that helps take the edge off a flush in minutes. The app is easy to use, with 30+ settings so you can choose the exact level of cooling you prefer, or set it to run through the night if night sweats keep you awake. It’s discreet enough to wear anywhere, works without medication and genuinely dials down symptoms quickly.

THE MIGRAINE RELIEF
Nerivio
Migraines affect women significantly more often than men – especially during periods of hormonal change – and their impact can be debilitating. Nerivio is a drug-free, wearable solution that many women describe as life-changing. Worn on the upper arm at the onset of a migraine – or every other day for prevention – it delivers gentle electrical pulses that stimulate the body’s natural pain-regulating pathways. The device is seamlessly controlled via a user-friendly app, allowing you to adjust intensity and monitor patterns over time. Most users experience relief within two hours, more than half report a 50% reduction in monthly migraine days and approximately 80% of attacks can be managed without medication. With 90 treatments per device, it’s a practical and cost-effective option.

THE DNA DEEP-DIVE
Healf x Gary Brecka Methylation Test
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.
