Smart Ring introduced by Samsung

Samsung has announced a new Galaxy Ring, which is a smart ring that communicates with a Samsung smartphone.

 

Galaxy Ring offers a simple approach to everyday wellness, featuring Samsung’s proven sensor technology in the smallest unobtrusive form and provides insights that help you understand yourself easily. Designed for 24/7 health monitoring, Galaxy Ring is lightweight weighing from 2.3 grams to 3.0 grams, ensuring comfort during extended wear, its distinct concave design adds a touch of style while maintaining durability. With 10ATM water resistance and Titanium Grade 5 finish, you can confidently wear Galaxy Ring anywhere without worry. Experience continuous usage with up to seven days battery life, and benefit from a specially designed charging case that features aesthetic LED lighting to indicate charging status. Stay true to your personal style with three color choices — Titanium Black, Titanium Silver and Titanium Gold, along with a sizing kit that helps you find the right fit from nine size options.

 

With Galaxy Ring, you can enjoy around-the-clock support that is customized to your needs and becomes more powerful over time thanks to the advanced technology of Galaxy AI. All data and insights are integrated into Samsung Health for seamless access within one cohesive platform without a subscription. Starting with sleep, the foundation of wellness, Galaxy Ring features Samsung’s best-in-class sleep analysis and a powerful sleep AI algorithm to help you easily understand your sleep patterns and build better habits. Along with Sleep Score and snoring analysis, new sleep metrics such as movement during sleep, sleep latency, heart and respiratory rate provide a detailed and accurate analysis of sleep quality. With Cycle Tracking, you can better track your menstrual cycle through overnight skin temperature monitoring.

 

Holistic insights and motivational encouragement provided by Galaxy Ring allow you to wake up refreshed and ready to take on your day. It starts with Galaxy AI, which generates a detailed health report that includes various health metrics. New Energy Score, a Galaxy AI enabled feature, enhances your awareness of the ways your health influences your daily life, so you can utilize recommendations based on your current physical state to focus your daily efforts on making improvements. This score is calculated by evaluating your physical and mental conditions across four significant factors: Sleep, Activity, Sleeping Heart Rate and Sleeping Heart Rate Variability. Additionally, you can receive personalized messages aimed at enhancing your well-being across all areas of your health journey, thanks to Wellness Tips, which is driven by comprehensive data and individual interests.

 

Galaxy Ring also supports broader everyday wellness monitoring, allowing you to stay informed about your heart health with Heart Rate Alert. This feature provides instant notifications regarding unusually high or low heart rates in real-time via the Samsung Health app. You can gain additional details about your heart rate including beats per minute, time start and time duration with Live Heart Rate Check. Galaxy Ring also helps you maintain an active lifestyle and stay motivated with automatic walking and running tracking via Auto Workout Detection, and daily fitness reminders with Inactive Alert. In addition, you can easily take photos or dismiss your alarm on Galaxy smartphones with a double pinch via Gestures and find the location of your Galaxy Ring via your Galaxy smartphone with Find My Ring on Samsung Find.

 

Available in Titanium Black, Titanium Silver, Titanium Gold.Available in Titanium Black, Titanium Silver, Titanium Gold.

Having tried using a smart watch with health tracking features previously, but not able to get used to wearing it for extended periods, I was initially very interested in learning more about these smart rings.

However I'm concerned about the use of this "Galaxy AI" if that means consenting to sharing health information with Samsung for data collection and analysis, and how they are protecting that in compliance with HIPAA.

With all the data breaches going on so far this year, I think you can forget about your personal information being secure.  What gets me mad is that the big corporations don't even let you know that your personal information was accessed until several months later, when it's too late to stop identity theft.
