Movano will demonstrate its Movano Ring at CES 2022. The device is expected to be a more affordable alternative to Oura, with virtually the same performance. It is hoped that later the accessory will even be able to control glucose levels and blood pressure. Currently, competition in the field of smart rings is low. But that looks set to change in 2022.
Many tech companies are working on their own solutions. Apple is a name that has been in this conversation for many years, but it can show little. Other companies have also begun to register patents for smart rings.
Among them - Fitbit. With Google money, we may finally see a smart ring from a device pioneer from San Francisco. OPPO is also working on a smart accessory. This month, the company filed a smart ring patent with the Chinese Patent Office. Of course, patents are not a guarantee of implementation, but the company is definitely working on the project. And yet, the company vivo is preparing its smart accessory vivo Ring. It will be recalled that in 2020 they developed a smart ring that can even detect COVID-19 in three days.
What indicators will Movano Ring measure?
Movano Ring, on the other hand, is already under development. In fact, the device will be on display at CES 2022 in Las Vegas. This will be the first such product from Movano, which specializes in healthcare technology.
A sophisticated accessory designed primarily for women will be able to track many health indicators. In particular, activity, sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), temperature, blood oxygen, steps and calories. This is about the same list that the Oura Ring is now tracking for $ 300. The Movano Ring is planned to be one of the "most affordable medical devices."
A special mobile application will help to connect the cause and effect of individual indicators. For example, you will be able to find out how your exercise habits affect your sleep, HRV, and so on. In this way, you will be able to take a "more active approach to reducing the risk of chronic diseases."
Movano is currently working on obtaining FDA approval. The goal is to eventually get a Class II designation - "medical device". However, the company's ambitions do not end there. It is hoped that the ring will be able to monitor glucose levels non-invasively over time and provide information on blood pressure without a cuff. His own radio frequency technology, which is used to obtain data of this type, is currently undergoing clinical trials. If this is successful, it will change the rules of the game.
The Movano Ring will be on display at CES 2022 in Las Vegas in early January. The first public beta version of the device is expected in the second half of 2022.
