More and more these days, everyday home and lifestyle products are being engineered with smart technology. Smart devices are packed full of features that make your electronics and appliances more efficient and they offer assistance to make your daily life easier. One type of smart device seeing a rise in popularity today is smart rings. Smart rings are exactly what they sound like: a ring you wear on your finger that also happens to be engineered with smart technology. The outside of these ring may look subtle and unassuming, but the inner layer of smart rings are lined with sensors responsible for tracking various metrics. These sensors can monitor a wide range of things like heart rate, steps, calories burned, sweat production, stress levels, blood oxygen, body temperature, blood pressure and sleep patterns. Some of the health data tracked can also be beneficial to users focused on increasing their fitness levels. Select smart rings can even give you recommendations to improve your health, like what time to go to bed for optimal rest.

Support Your Health With Wearable Technology

Most of this health data can also be tracked by a smartwatch too, but the benefit of smart rings is that they can be worn all day and night, even when you're sleeping, without bearing too much weight or causing discomfort. Because you'll rarely need to take the wearable device off, your ring will have prolonged contact with your body and in turn, provide even better health data collection and accuracy. To get your hands on all of this information, smart rings combine the power of Bluetooth with Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology. NFC chips allow smart rings to communicate with other smart devices over short distances, so you can pair your ring with your cell phone, tablet or computer and view your data. Typically, these rings have a proprietary app that stores your health metrics for you. These apps can offer other features too, including notification management, smart home device controls, ID storage, two-factor authentication, music playback and a digital wallet for contactless payments. Some rings will even support connections with Apple Health and Google Fit, if you're interested in transferring existing data. All of these functions are powered by a battery, which can be easily charged on a dock.

An Electronic Accessory With Advanced Features

While smart ring batteries are small in order to fit inside the accessory, some models can provide up to one week of power on a single charge. Many of the special features available on smart rings are fairly similar to a smartwatch. The biggest difference, however, is that smart rings do not have a screen or display. The lack of a screen is just one of many benefits smart rings can provide, as it reduces your screen time and allows you to be more present. Other benefits include compact design and portability. There are a few things to keep in mind before picking the perfect smart ring. If you're interested in wearing your ring while swimming or in the rain, one design feature you should consider is water resistance. You also need to make sure that you invest in a ring that fits you well. Because smart rings need to be paired with a secondary smart device, you must ensure your smart ring is compatible with its companion's operating system too, for the most optimal ring app integration.
