YogiFi Smart Ring with skin temperature sensor now crowdfunding
The YogiFi Smart Ring is now crowdfunding on Kickstarter. Wellnesys, the company behind the wearable, has designed the device to be an all-round fitness and wellness tracker. You can use the smart ring to monitor your heart rate, heart rate variability, step count and calories burned.
The YogiFi Smart Ring can track your sleep with blood oxygen level, skin temperature and resting heart rate measurement, alongside a calculated sleep score. It is worth noting that the company has not provided any information proving the accuracy of the sensors used in the smart ring. All insights collected by the smart ring are viewable in an accompanying app for iOS and Android, where you can also find guided meditation and breathing exercises. The wearable is light, weighing 2.4g (~0.8 oz) and measuring 4.5 mm (~0.2-in) thick, available in various sizes and Twilight Cooper and Midnight Black colors. The device comes with a charging case, with the ring lasting up to five days on a single charge.
You can now make an Early Bird VIP pledge of US$149 to get the YogiFi Smart Ring at a 40% discount; the wearable has an RRP of US$249. An Early Bird Combo of the Smart Ring and Smart Mat, a yoga mat with sensors to track movements and provide feedback, requires a US$298 pledge, saving US$200 versus the US$498 retail price. Wellnesys is shipping the device worldwide, with delivery estimated for January 2024. At the time of writing, the campaign has gained over US$14,000 of support, passing its US$10,000 fundraising target.
