Description:
This smart ring might be able to offer blood pressure tracking - something watches aren't able to do yet.

FULL STORY ======================================================================Crowdfun ded product Muse Ring One claims to be able to monitor blood pressure The
Muse team says it's analyzed over 4,000 test users to identify the correct
way to measure BP If true, it'll have cracked LED-based BP measurement before many smartwatches

Whether it's fall detection, an ECG, blood oxygen monitoring or running third-party apps, the b est smartwatches grow in scope as personal health
each year (or, if it's an Apple Watch, they do the opposite and wind back features due to a patent dispute! ).

Still, there's something that's eluded all of them so far: accurate blood pressure monitoring technology. It's the kind of technology that has clear benefits, and it's seemingly becoming closer to being a reality, but not in the way you may think. The Huawei Watch D2 and its predecessor only manage it through a connected band with expanding cuff-style bladders.

One wearable tech company claims to have cracked it. It's not Apple, Google, or Samsung that's leading the charge, but a company called Muse Wearables in India, which hopes to release the best smart ring for blood pressure monitoring.

An Indiegogo campaign from Novembe r of last year, the Muse Ring One is seemingly targeting an initial release to backers in early 2025.

It's taken a fair while to come to fruition, then, but could be worth the wait. It's fitted with research-grade sensors and will monitor blood oxygen, skin temperature, respiratory rate, and, the big one, blood pressure.

The Muse team says it's analyzed five million data points from over 4,000
test users to identify the correct way to measure blood pressure, and if they're right, it could be a market leader in this category.

Combined with contactless payments and multiple color options, it has the potential to be a breakout but time will tell. It's not priced cheaply at $349 (around 270 / AU$525), which is a good indicator that it could be a legitimate contender. You might also like...
