Movano’s Evie Smart Ring: The Oura Rival Designed Specifically for Women

Health company Movano has revealed its first smart ring, the Evie, which is designed for health, fitness, and cycle tracking. The ring is expected to rival Oura’s latest smart ring and other health-tracking wearables, but Movano claims that it is “uniquely designed for women.” Movano plans to provide more information about the Evie at CES 2023.

The Evie made its debut at CES 2022 with no name and a similar design, but Movano has since made changes to the price and other aspects of the ring. According to the wearable tech website WearableXP, the company has opened the website for pre-orders. The Evie is expected to be a popular choice for those looking for a smart ring tailored to women’s needs.

The Evie smart ring offers many of the same health metrics as Oura’s ring and wearables from Apple and other companies. It can track metrics such as heart rate, blood oxygen levels, skin temperature variability, steps, calories, sleep, period and ovulation tracking, and more. Users can also get advice from health experts through the app and the ring is expected to meet medical device manufacturing standards.

According to Movano CEO John Mastrototaro, “As a medical device, Evie will go beyond the status quo of other wearables on the market. We are bringing together medical-grade biometric data and insights in a comfortable and contemporary wearable.”

In addition to its primary purpose of providing a comprehensive overview of overall health by turning biometric data into actionable insights, the Evie smart ring can also be used as a fitness tracker by measuring steps, calories burned, and specific activities.

Movano has emphasized the security and privacy of the Evie smart ring, promising that data transferred to the cloud or health providers will be protected. The company is currently seeking FDA clearance, which will determine the release date of the ring. If the clearance process takes too long, the Evie may be released initially as a wellness device. At this time, the Evie will only be available in the US, but it is possible that it may be released in other markets in the future. More information about the Evie is expected to be revealed at CES 2023.
