Movano takes on Oura with the Evie smart ring designed 'for women'
"As a medical device, Evie will go beyond the status quo of other wearables on the market," said Movano CEO John Mastrototaro."We are bringing together medical grade biometric data and insights in a comfortable and contemporary wearable."
With the ability to measure steps, calories burned and specific activities, Evie can also be used as a fitness tracker. However, it's primary purpose is to give a picture of overall health,"turning biometric data into actionable insights," Movano wrote in the press release. The company also promises security and privacy when transferring data to the cloud or health providers. It's currently seeking all-important FDA clearance, which will dictate the release date. If that takes too long, though, it may come to market as a wellness device at first. The Evie smart ring will only be released in the US to start with, but may come to other markets later — we should learn more about it next week at CES 2023.
