Increase Productivity With These 8 Solutions from CES

CES was amazing this year, with some great mindset, goal-setting and technique driven applications designed to give you the best experience.

For many of the apps listed here, data is the one thing that drives productivity – as it plays a bigger role in the lives of the productive ones.

We can monitor our environment, our internet usage, how our brain-waves feel, and how we’re adjusting to new stressors and changes. We can track everything to make our lives easier, as well as create new avenues of growth for our personal development process.  

We can boost our productivity and get more value from our jobs than ever before.

Many of these applications aren’t set to release until a few years from today, but they’re a good indication about where the industry is heading when it comes to tech-driven productivity.

Some of these innovations are available in the market today. You can destress, sleep better and get a better work-life balance in your life as well.

Here are 8 solutions from CES that changed how we view productivity –

#1 TouchPoints –

The TouchPoints wearable device allows users to experience relief during times of excess stress, PTSD or other symptoms. This solution is based on neuroscience and there has been significant testing done on a range of people across the country.

How this works is that anytime we experience stress, our bodies go into flight or fight more.

When we have chronic stress, our neural pathways change in a way that our bodies fuel more of these chemicals to elicit a stronger reaction.

The user can wear this device on their wrist, which emits gentle vibrations at strategic times to calm the wearer down.

#2 Valt –

Valt is a great password protection app, that converts your password into quirky images. When you recognize your unique image, you can select it to access your phone or laptop.

Chances are that you may not remember complicated passwords, but an image is more likely to be remembered correctly. The Valt app is a great productivity tool to help busy entrepreneurs when they need help remembering passwords.

#3 QuickStand Eco –

The QuickStand Eco is a low-tiered upgrade from an older sit-stand model, designed for home or for corporate offices. It requires a bit of assembly and elbow grease, but if you’re willing to go through with it – it’s the best product for increasing our productivity.

No visible cables, and a promise of having a clutter-free workspace.

Ergonomics is the new mantra, as sitting is the new smoking.

We must be able to have a workspace that adjusts to how humans are meant to be.

The machine records data about your sit-stand ratio and allows companies and small business to track how their bodies are feeling through the day. What makes this innovation unique is its design. It’s super-sleek and anyone can pick it up and stand at the same time.

#4 ZenSpace –

Its an eco-system of co-working spaces and conference rooms that have pods for individual work and meetings. These pods are exclusively available via the ZenSpace app, and they act as a disconnector from the outside world.

All ZenSpaces are soundproof and have all the capabilities of a regular office.

You can book a meeting space for as little as $40, and have all the advantage of a workspace inside a café or mall.

When you’re on the go and don’t have time to book expensive meeting rooms, ZenSpace is the perfect solution.

#5 Somnox –

Who gets a sound 8 hour of sleep?

Chances are very few.

This is where Somnox comes in with a cuddly robot. This robot makes sure that you don’t lose out on quality sleep.

It’s available for pre-order and is a wonderful device that helps people get better sleep.

The device simulates breathing patterns that help the “hugger” get better sleep at night. It has a subtle motion and sound pickup that helps it judge what to do when a user is in deep sleep or not. Data is the backbone of Somnox, as it quantifies your sleep into usable action.

#6 MEGA Comfort –

This is a wearable device that acts as a footwear accessory.

They’re designed for comfort and safety when performing endurance based activities. They have an Energysole, which is a memory foam like shock absorber that has smart sensors.

It records 3D data about foot striking algorithms so that users can analyse their stride, impact force and overall damage taken via an app. Users can make changes, create new movements, and monitor their performance at the same time.

#7 The Pup –

The device that raised $1M+ on Indiegogo, The Pup is a unique hardware device that captures important documents. If you don’t want to forget a book, a business card, or a receipt, you can store it via the cloud onto ‘The Pup’.

It’s a wireless device that can store 2000 images when offline, and allow anyone to create quick scans, prints and shares.

You can save so much time with this wonderful device!

#8 GreenMe –

GreenMe is an office environment monitoring product that tracks for factors like temperature, air quality, humidity, noise and lighting.

Why does that matter for productivity?

It matters because research has indicated that a person’s environment has a direct impact on their productivity. Also from a safety standpoint having more information about your office space is always a good idea.

This small, green sensor box collects data around the clock and shares feedback about improving the area around them.

Conclusion

While you shouldn’t go out and buy all these devices to improve productivity, you should consider investing in a few of them to boost your productivity levels.

If you have issues with sleep, anxiety, office environment or general procrastination it might be a good idea to take control of your productivity sooner than later.

If you wait for the future “you” to make a decision, then you might be losing out on a lot of productive years that could have been used wisely.
