Movano

People with uteruses will soon be able to track their own health metrics and manage their menstrual health with Movano Health’s smart ring, Evie. Evie provides users with medical grade health data that’s then broken down into personalized insights via its mobile app. Some health and wellness metrics you’ll be able to follow include: resting heart rate, heart rate variability, respiration rate, skin temperature variability, period and ovulation tracking, menstrual symptom tracking, daily steps, active minutes, sleep, and mood tracking. This is beneficial to both the user and doctors who seek extra information on their patient’s health. 

Although the Evie smart ring isn’t the first one on the market, it’s aiming to make wearables more accessible by eliminating the need for a subscription like the one its competitor, the Oura ring, requires. Movano Health is currently seeking FDA approval for Evie after a successful testing trial in October 2022, which tested for blood-oxygen and heart-rate levels that met the FDA’s standards. Once approved it will make the Evie the first wearable ring medical device. Evie is expected to be available to the public sometime in 2023 and will cost under $300 with no added monthly subscription fees.
