As far as commercial success is concerned, I wouldn't be so pessimistic, because the mirror offers a unique user experience. Certainly not for use at home, but certainly conceivable for point-of-care diagnostics.

The most significant accomplishment is not the attributes of the mirror it’s whether or not a tool like this can be made available and usable by those who needed specifically the underserve populations. The digital divide in the health industry continues to grow, leaving the underserved in Medicare and Medicaid behind

Looking at it from the patient perspective, it's fine to gather all biometrics in one place but what shall the patient or just a citizen do with all that? We have specialized doctors in different areas of medicine, and not sure if general doctors across Europe have the kind of expertise needed to evaluate so many data from different body systems and functions. Public healthcare doctors as far as I know do not accept to check this kind of not medically approved tests. Private doctors also particularly if they have not prescribed them; asking a private doctor to evaluate them will be costly. So it's nice, it's clean, it's fast, but is it trustworthy, is it practical? in my opinion, at least not now.

Wearables are revolutionising self-care, but a critical challenge remains: bridging the gap between consumer health tracking and clinical-grade monitoring. The next evolution in digital health isn't just about better sensors - it's about establishing gold standards that make health insights both clinically meaningful and universally accessible.

Wearables, digital apps, and other health tech are "connectivities" that influence health-related choices, lifestyles and, thus, outcomes. Are healthcare professionals collecting and noting digital health tools patients use, alongside height, weight, and other measures? If not, a check is in order: How are patients invited to share if they use wearables, how they use them, and what data they have? Let's ensure patients are invited to unpack what they do outside of the clinic that informs and shapes their health decision-making.
