The Signal Ring from Vital Signals is a smart wearable engineered with blood pressure monitoring at its core to work seamlessly for health-conscious consumers or those who are managing a hypertension disorder. The device works by being worn just like a traditional smart ring, but utilizes advanced sensors to track blood pressure both passively and actively, depending on user needs. The device performs calibration-free blood pressure monitoring and is rated to deliver three days of use per charge.
The Signal Ring from Vital Signals is available now for preorder in US ring sizes from five to 13 and is slated to start shipping this October. The wearable doesn't come with a monthly subscription fee as a nod to consumer preferences and also doesn't feature artificial intelligence (AI).
