New wearable ring will monitor blood pressure

Health monitoring and tracking devices keep getting smaller and more affordable, A good example is the Movano Ring which made its debut at this year’s International CES.

Moving already makes a ring that collects data on your sleep, heart rate, heart rate variability, and body temperature. A new version will also  monitor for health problems such as hypertension, an issue for nearly half of all adults in the US.

The company has applied for FDA clearance. If successful it would become a certified medical device. The ring is expected to arrive in the second half of 2022.
