Sky Labs launched the CART PLATFORM, a ring-based blood pressure monitoring system that combines a wearable device with a mobile app, clinician dashboard and cloud-connected monitoring infrastructure to deliver continuous cuffless BP tracking. The South Korean company recently secured clearance from the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency following CE-MDR certification earlier this year and plans to distribute the platform through prescription channels including pharmacies, hospitals and clinics.
The CART PLATFORM uses a discreet ring form factor paired with software tools for patient telemetry, clinician review and long-term data storage, supporting integration into remote monitoring and hypertension-management workflows. The system is designed to provide continuous vital-sign visibility without relying on traditional inflatable cuffs, improving convenience for both patients and providers.
For consumers and healthcare systems, the approval reflects growing adoption of wearable medical devices that support continuous, data-driven cardiovascular monitoring.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Continuous Cuffless Monitoring
- Enables long-duration, high-frequency blood pressure data streams that could displace episodic clinic measurements and underpin predictive cardiovascular risk algorithms.
- Wearable-cloud Clinical Integration
- Signals a shift toward seamless device-to-dashboard workflows where real-time telemetry and longitudinal records alter clinician decision-making and remote care models.
- Prescription-channel Digital Therapeutics
- Positions ring-form medical wearables as regulated, prescribable tools that can reframe treatment adherence, reimbursement pathways and clinical trial endpoints.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Cardiology and Hypertension Management
- Continuous cuffless devices could transform patient stratification and chronic disease pathways by supplying clinicians with granular, actionable blood pressure trends outside the clinic.
- Pharmaceuticals and Pharmacies
- Integration into prescription channels and pharmacy distribution may enable bundled device-drug offerings and new adherence-monitoring business models tied to medication efficacy.
- Health Data Platforms and Analytics
- Large-scale, longitudinal BP datasets from wearable rings could feed advanced analytics and AI models that redefine risk prediction, population health insights and value-based care metrics.
