World's Leading Provider of Cutting-Edge Smart
Ring Solutions
NEW
YORK, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- RingConn
today launches its Gen 2 Smart Ring on Kickstarter, featuring the
first-ever integrated sleep apnea monitoring in a smart ring. This
groundbreaking device offers 10 – 12 days battery life, compact
hardware, and comprehensive health monitoring services.
Revolutionizing Sleep Apnea Detection
The RingConn Gen 2 addresses a
critical health concern affecting millions worldwide. Approximately
936 million adults aged 30-69 years
are estimated to have mild to severe sleep apnea. Of these,
about 425 million adults have moderate to severe sleep apnea*,
which lead to increased risk of
hypertension, heart disease, and
stroke. Conventional sleep apnea diagnosis PSG typically involves
overnight stays in sleep laboratories, where specialized equipment
measures brain waves, blood oxygen levels, and heart rate.
The Gen 2 addresses this need by
providing continuous sleep apnea screening, offering users daily
insights into sleep health.
Since 2021, RingConn has conducted hundreds of clinical studies
on sleep apnea in collaboration with multiple hospitals and
research institutions, and has published several academic papers
validating their approach. The company independently developed
a sleep apnea recognition algorithm
based on deep learning. The experimental results show the
accuracy of identifying sleep apnea reached 90.7%. Currently,
RingConn is actively pursuing FDA clearance for its sleep apnea
monitoring feature*.
Redefining Smart Ring Capabilities - The World's
Thinnest and Lightest Smart Ring
Smart rings stand out among wearable devices for their
unobtrusive design, allowing for seamless health monitoring.
However, creating a health-focused smart ring presents a
significant engineering challenge, as it requires integrating
hundreds of components into an extremely compact space. This
complexity often prevents smart rings from achieving the same level
of lightness as traditional jewelry rings.
Through redesigns of key components, including the battery
structure, circuit layout, chip, and charging method, the
RingConn Gen 2 pushes the boundaries of wearable technology with
its ultra-slim profile, featuring a minimum thickness of just 2mm
and weighing a mere 2 grams in smallest size. Compared to its
predecessor, the Gen 2 boasts impressive size reductions: a 12%
decrease in width, a 23% reduction in thickness.
The innovation addresses the longstanding challenge of balancing
sophisticated technology with user comfort. The RingConn Gen 2 represents breakthroughs
in wearable technology, offering users an unprecedented combination
of advanced health monitoring and exceptional wearability.
Industry-Leading Battery Life
Under the leadership of Dr. Guoxing
Wang, founder of RingConn and former vice president of the
IEEE Biomedical Circuits and Systems Society, the team has
harnessed cutting-edge low-power technology to revolutionize smart
ring capabilities. Drawing on insights from previous generation,
RingConn has set a new standard in smart ring battery life. The Gen
2 offers an impressive 10 - 12 days of use per charge -
doubling the endurance of competitors. When paired with its
charging case, users can enjoy an unprecedented 150+ days of
continuous use. This breakthrough not only redefines endurance in
wearable tech but also revolutionizes convenience in the
industry.
Comprehensive Health Monitoring
The RingConn Gen 2 continues to
upgrade its multiple functions, establishing itself as a reliable
sleep health expert. It offers accurate sleep analysis, advanced
exercise metrics, stress monitoring, continuous heart rate and
blood oxygen tracking, and menstrual cycle predictions for female
users. RingConn will continuously enhance the smart ring's
capabilities through over-the-air software updates.
The RingConn Gen 2 is now
available for pre-order on Kickstarter. Following the crowdfunding
campaign, the device will be available for purchase through the
company's official website and retail partners like Amazon.
