RingConn’s third-generation smart ring will launch later this month combining holistic health tracking, smart alerts and premium finishes.

The ring introduces vascular insights, designed to help users observe long-term vascular trends through continuous data collection.

Built on over a decade of research in vascular algorithms and modelling, the vascular capability moves beyond single-point measurements to long-term trend-based assessment. The system requires periodic user calibration to ensure improved accuracy, with recommendations for calibration three times within the first 24 hours and monthly thereafter.

By combining user-input blood pressure data with ring-derived vascular load indicators, the system provides a comprehensive view of overall vascular health.

Once calibrated, it enables automatic vascular load assessments during periods of sleep or low motion, allowing users to track meaningful changes continuously over time without frequent manual input. The system also incorporates key influencing factors – including circadian rhythm adaptation, sleep respiratory health, post-exercise vascular recovery and overall daily vascular stability – to help users better understand the relationship between lifestyle and cardiovascular patterns.

The ring is designed for continuous and comfortable wear, with an experience centred on durability and long-term usability. Featuring a lightweight form factor and enhanced engineering design, the device is built to integrate seamlessly into daily life, enabling consistent and uninterrupted health data tracking.

Powered by RingConn EcoPower Tech 2.0, the ring has an upgraded battery system and improved energy density, delivering up 11 to 14 days of battery life in standard usage without vibration mode. This reduces charging frequency and supports continuous, long-term health monitoring with few interruptions.

The ring (ringconn.com/blogs/news/ringconn-gen-3-whats-new) adopts RingConn’s proprietary ergonomic design, resulting in a lighter and thinner profile that conforms more naturally to the finger. With IP68 water resistance up to 100m, it is designed for durability in everyday use, enabling reliable performance across a wide range of real-life scenarios. Together, these features allow users to wear the device seamlessly through typing, handwashing, showering, swimming and sleep, ensuring uninterrupted physiological data collection day and night.

A refined brushed finish, achieved through a laser-engraving process, enhances the device’s surface texture. The upgraded finishing process requires over 30% more production time compared with conventional methods, reflecting a higher level of craftsmanship. Expanded colour options enhance versatility, allowing the ring to blend naturally into casual and professional environments while encouraging consistent daily wear.

It delivers health tracking across multiple key dimensions, including sleep, sleep apnoea, heart rate, blood oxygen, activity, stress, menstrual cycle tracking and pregnancy preparation-related insights.

The system is powered by a VCSEL infra-red sensor designed to enhance data stability and accuracy across a wide range of wearing conditions and real-world scenarios. In internal testing, the system achieved a resting heart rate accuracy above 98.58%, a blood oxygen mean absolute error of less than 0.95%, a step count accuracy above 97.2% and a temperature accuracy of ±0.08˚C.

Subtle smart alerts provide feedback when key health changes are detected. Through gentle vibration-based notifications, the device can also prompt users in scenarios such as prolonged inactivity or low battery. In quiet environments such as during meetings or conversations, these silent notifications allow users to stay informed without disruptive sounds or attention-grabbing screen notifications.

The alert system is customisable, allowing users to enable or disable notifications based on personal preference. By prioritising low disruption and silent vibration cues over intrusive alerts, RingConn ensures health reminders remain discreet, context-aware and seamlessly integrated into everyday life.

Hong Kong-based RingConn (ringconn.com) was established in 2021.
