AN INNOVATIVE RING FOR BETTER HEALTH MONITORING

                 HEALTH MONITORING RING

                                     IRIS SMART RING 

The development of more wearable technology in recent years has made it possible to accurately and non-invasively monitor vital signs like heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate. However, in most situations, this necessitates the use of a bracelet or smartwatch, which can rapidly become uncomfortable, is not particularly precise due to the physiology of the wrist, and interferes with sleep. All data may now be gathered using a typical finger ring from Senbiosys, thanks to the most recent invention of an EPFL researcher—the tiniest sensor in the world.

Two engineers from EPFL have created a technology that, according to EPFL, concentrates all the monitoring capabilities of photoplethysmogram (PPG) sensors into an area that is four times smaller than that found in competing devices on the market. This technology has broken all previous records and comes as a result of years of miniaturisation research and more than 60 scientific publications on microelectronics and optical sensors.To measure volumetric changes in blood in peripheral circulation, PPG is a straightforward visual approach. Most wearable devices use PPG sensors, which may be identified by the coloured LED light they emit.


The Senbiosys start-up created the Iris smart ring, which is not the first wearable ring but has a number of advantages due to the miniaturisation of the sensors. The ring is more attractive, comfortable, and cost-effective than alternative solutions since it is lighter, thinner, and more refined than current wearables. It is marketed as the thinnest ring on the market, with dimensions of 5mm in diameter, 2.5mm in thickness, and less than 5g in weight. It uses extremely little energy and charges completely in approximately 30 minutes.
In comparison to existing goods, its 18 LEDs and six photodetectors allow for increased precision.  Senbiosys tested the accuracy of its technology in a clinical research at the HFR Fribourg hospital by contrasting the heart rate information gathered by its miniature sensors with that gathered by an arterial catheter. The investigation discovered that the readings provided by the two methods were comparable.
The Iris ring will reportedly go on sale in December 2023 and track a variety of things, including heart rate, steps taken, blood oxygen levels, sleep quality, and core body temperature. The alleged capability of tracking blood pressure from the finger, which would be a novel feature for a smart ring, is what experts find most intriguing. Users wouldn't need to stop what they were doing or go to a doctor's office in order to track their blood pressure in a discreet and simple manner.
