The world’s first ultrasonic kitchen knife, the C200 Ultrasonic, makes its debut

Seattle Ultrasonics unveiled the world’s first ultrasonic kitchen knife, the C200 Ultrasonic, at CES 2026. The core idea behind the product is to use high-frequency micro-vibrations to reduce cutting resistance, allowing the blade to penetrate ingredients more easily while also minimizing food sticking to the knife.

The operation is straightforward: a button on the handle activates the ultrasonic vibration. Once turned on, the blade shows no visible shaking, but the user can feel a subtle buzzing sensation in the hand, similar to a faint electric current. When cutting high-density or starch-rich ingredients, its performance is noticeably superior to that of a conventional kitchen knife. The product is priced at USD 399. Source

OpenAI announces the launch of ChatGPT Health

OpenAI has announced the launch of ChatGPT Health, a dedicated health consultation area within ChatGPT that operates independently from the main chat experience. Users can ask health-related questions in this section and receive reference-oriented interpretations based on their personal data, but the service does not provide medical diagnoses or treatment recommendations.

In terms of functionality, ChatGPT Health supports integration with multiple health services, including Apple Health, MyFitnessPal, and Peloton. It can read users’ exercise, sleep, and activity data, and can also incorporate medical records to help users understand lab results and prepare for medical appointments—again, without offering specific diagnostic or treatment advice. Regarding privacy and security, OpenAI states that the feature uses multi-layer encryption, runs as a separate space, and that related data is not used for model training by default.

Currently, ChatGPT Health is available to users in select regions via a waitlist. The medical record integration feature is temporarily limited to the United States, with plans to gradually expand availability to the web and iOS platforms. Source
