A health tracker that's easier than a smartwatch! Japan's smart ring "SOXAI Ring"

The smart ring "SOXAI Ring" that can track activities and health indicators is accepting support purchases on the crowdfunding site Makuake.

At the time of writing, we have collected support that exceeds 1800% of the target amount and is attracting attention.

A lot of technology in a small ring

A health tracker that's easier than a smartwatch! Click here for images of Japan's Smart Re... > SOXAI Ring is a "smart ring" that has many sensors built into a ring-shaped housing and can record your heart rate, blood oxygen level, sleep and activity.

We built a new data analysis system through joint development with academia in Japan and overseas, the Swiss startup "Sleepiz AG", and the Korean startup "Deepmedi".

In addition, it is equipped with an optical sensor, temperature sensor, acceleration sensor, gyro sensor, BLE communication function, and wireless charging function by NFC (Near Field Communication).

Calculation of health index from 5 biometric data

This product uses a unique algorithm to record 5 biometric data (heart rate, blood oxygen level, body surface temperature, activity, and vascular health index). . It calculates several indicators such as sleep quality, stress level, and lifestyle-related risks.

Although it is not implemented at this stage, in the future we aim to support various functions such as hemoglobin-related numerical measurement, physiological prediction, obesity analysis, charging via body temperature, and Suica payment.

It can be used for 4 to 7 days with 1.5 hours of charging

The ring-shaped housing was created in pursuit of a minimal design that fits Japanese fingers. It is devised so that you can use it for a long time without worrying about wearing it.

Another advantage of the smart ring is that it needs to be recharged less frequently than other wearable devices, but the SOXAI Ring can be used for 4 to 7 days with a single charge of about 1.5 hours.

Available in four colors, silver (matte/glossy) and black (matte/glossy). At the time of writing the article, support purchases are available from 22,880 yen (tax included), and the project is running until May 29th (Sun).
