Smart ring

Well, we've been talking for a good long while and have covered a hell of a lot of ground, team, which is always so interesting and time always disappears with you both in an instant.

But we have covered everything from personalized cancer vaccines to smart rings, wearables, Australia's future of connected care, women's health and the future of psychiatric medicine.

with a very key theme of personalized targets coming up and new and emerging solutions, which is very exciting.

So if you do have any exciting things in this space, be sure to reach out to the team.

Paying for a latte with a wave of your hand is basically a Jedi mind trick.

But since SmartRing battery life is super precious, you really got to wonder how much juice that tiny motor is going to slurp up.

Second, you've got to choose your bulk.

The Pro boasts a 12-day battery, blood pressure trends, and an FDA-cleared ECG to spot issues like AFib.

Well, I mean, I guess they can go ahead and do whatever they want, but I mean, like, are you gonna start, like, trying to shut down the internet archive while we're at it? Like, all they did was try to go ahead and archive information.

but you know that's a thing that twitter has now done so it is what it is speaking of other speaking of other uh legal action there is a lawsuit against aura which is a company that makes a sleep tracking ring now smart rings kind of came and went let's actually let's actually go back in time all right so after smartphones tech companies were desperate to try and figure out what is the next big thing okay they then went to smart watches okay and smart watches are they never really caught on on a mainstream level Like they're out there.

Some people use them.

I tolerate mine.

I think that's about the best I can say for it.

But one of the thing that they tried doing after the smartwatch is going, OK, there's some traction here.

What's the next best thing? And then someone went smart rings.

So thus, enter Aura, who made a smart ring that tracks your sleep and is supposed to be able to track it to the same sort of degree you would have with, say, professional medical monitoring equipment.

So later I shifted from, like, from Beijing, I shifted to Dongguan, uh, which is near Shenzhen.

And there, uh, I was working with, uh, smart rings and AR glasses.

Wow.

Okay.

There's a lot of similarities, but there are some differences as well.

But yeah, over to you, Harsh.

Harsh.Uh, well, uh, not the meta glasses, but, uh, when it comes to if you have heard of Ultra Human, uh, the Smart Rings and Gabit.

So Ultra Human and Gabit were manufactured at, uh, Yuhong Medical.

So today, let's co-cover four different categories.

We'll start with fitness trackers and smartwatches, then we'll go to continuous glucose monitors, smart rings, and then sleep trackers.

So starting off with fitness trackers and smartwatches.

So we're talking about the Apple Watch, Fitbit, Garmin has one, and many other competitors as well.

I'd say that if you have a diagnosed insulin resistance, prediabetes, Type 2 diabetes, PCOS, or now PMOS, or even a strong family history of metabolic disease, maybe a CGM might be helpful in providing more information.

But if you're a healthy person overall and you don't have many metabolic risk factors, um, you know, and if, if you, if you find the data very interesting and motivating, it could be useful, but again, if it causes more anxiety, probably not going to recommend it.

So this brings us to our third category, which are smart rings.

Um, one of the brands in the market is the Oura Ring, and it's probably one of the most that's the most clinically studied.

No, what I will say is that if you do well on this game, then we have questions about you because the headlines are really hard to tell what's real and what isn't anymore.

The Smart Ring monitors health and provides real-time medical advice.

i will say news um i don't know if it's the latest aura my wife has an aura four i'm gonna give
