Luna Unveils Luna Band, Voice-Led LifeOS at CES 2026
Luna, the rapidly rising health-tech company redefining human performance, today unveiled the Luna Band, a groundbreaking new wearable designed to deliver real-time, voice-led health guidance. Powered by LifeOS, Luna's adaptive AI engine, the Luna Band represents a new category of personal health technology focused not on displaying data, but on providing timely, actionable guidance."In a market saturated with devices that simply report numbers and do analytics, Luna Band introduces a radically different philosophy: guidance over data"said the company's spokespersonBuilt around Luna's core pillars of biomarker intelligence, circadian rhythm, women's health, personal context, and 24/7 AI coaching, the Luna Band brings the full power of LifeOS to the wrist. With no monthly fees, the Band is positioned to democratize high-end health intelligence globally.A Voice-Led, Hands-Free Health ExperienceIn a first for any wearable, Luna band introduces fully hands-free, voice-led interactions, powered by Siri integrations. With Luna's dynamic logging, users can log meals, symptoms, emotional context, and request health guidance entirely through voice-input without even opening the Luna app. By allowing natural, conversational interaction through any earbuds or a connected device, Luna Band advances Luna's vision of a deeply integrated, ecosystem-agnostic LifeOS that works across devices and platforms.Advanced Biosensing for a New Level of PrecisionThe Luna Band features a research-grade optical sensor array paired with a high-fidelity 6-axis IMU. This sensing platform captures detailed physiological information associated with micro-recovery periods, circadian fluctuation, emotional stress signatures, and other subtle patterns that conventional consumer wearables often do not detect. This level of precision enables more informed and responsive health guidance.LifeOS: Real-Time Interpretation and Adaptive CoachingAt the core of the Luna Band is LifeOS, a real-time adaptive engine that processes thousands of physiological signals per minute. LifeOS identifies changes in recovery, stress, circadian alignment, and hormonal patterns, delivering context-aware recommendations throughout the day. The system is designed to offer timely support, ensuring users receive guidance at moments of highest relevance.Unified Health Ecosystem IntegrationLuna Band and Luna Ring serve as Luna's primary high-fidelity data collectors. But LifeOS also seamlessly integrates biomarker and usage data from Apple Health, Google Fit, Clue, Kindbody, and additional ecosystem partners to create a unified, longitudinal view of health. By integrating sleep, menstrual cycles, activity, stress, nutrition, and emotional inputs into a single framework, the Luna Band provides a comprehensive understanding of the user's daily physiological state.Redefining the Role of the WearableThe Luna Band establishes a new class of wearable technology centered on real-time guidance rather than retrospective reporting. By combining advanced sensing, adaptive intelligence, hands-free interaction, and broad ecosystem integration, Luna delivers a continuous health companion designed to support informed decision-making throughout the day, without subscription fees.Luna Band will be unveiled at Pepcom on 5th January 2026. CES attendees can see Luna Band firsthand at 55623, Venetian A-D Hall.
