There are many smart devices with which we can track various activities we do, from the step we take during the day to the amount of sleep we sleep at night. These smart devices, which are developing day by day and are a part of our lives, make our lives easier, even though they are unsettling. Companies that develop these smart devices that allow people to see their physical status are developing technologies that can also monitor their mood instantly.
Last year, a company called Ninu introduced a smart perfume that works with artificial intelligence technology and can be personalized according to mood. Recently, the world-famous football club Manchester City has started to develop a smart scarf with Cisco that can understand how the fans in the stands are feeling. Now, a startup co-founded by Tinder founder Sean Rad is developing a smart ring that can instantly monitor people’s mood and stress levels.
People will be able to track their mood with the ring
You remember the rings that change color when we wear them. Many of us spent our adolescence and childhood with rings like this. To put it simply, this initiative, developed in partnership with Sean Rad, resembles the rings of emotion that entered our lives many years ago.
Mental health; It is actually a very sensitive subject and should not be taken lightly. It would be best for both your mental and physical health to avoid anything that claims to heal you without the support of experts trained in this field. No wearable device or non-specialist can improve your mental health. The company that developed the “Happy Ring” does not make such a claim.
The company that developed the ring, called Happy Health, is Tinder founder Sean Rad and Dr. It was founded by Dustin Freckleton. Dr. Explaining why they developed such a ring, Freckleton explained that he realized that people have been more stressed than ever lately, but that they do not have any smart device to understand and track exactly how they are feeling.
Stating that there are many wearable devices that can help people involved in sports, Freckleton thinks that the effect of the mind on the general health of the person is largely ignored. The founder of the company believes that a smart device that can see and monitor people’s emotional state will help them to be healthier, and he aims to achieve this with a smart ring.
Happy Ring will work with a special sensor
Tinder’s founder, Sean Rad, stated that the artificial intelligence ring will constantly provide information about the user’s mood through the application. Rad explained that by collecting all the data, scientifically proven exercises that will contribute to the person’s ability to manage stress and mood and improve their general health will be personalized by the ring.
The ring, which is declared to be HIPAA compliant in terms of safety and standards, does all this using a special Electrodermal Activity (EDA) sensor. The ring also includes four skin electrodes, two temperature sensors, and a triaxial accelerometer. It has been announced that the charge of the ring, which has two different color options as glossy black and bright white, lasts for three days.
Of course, the fact that Tinder’s founder Sean Rad is also mentioned in the production of the ring brings to mind that the application may also be related to the ring. However, according to the statements, there is no such development yet.
If users want to buy the ring, they have to subscribe to a subscription system that starts at $20 per month. It has been announced that the ring, which is currently unknown when it will be released, will be sold only in the USA for now.
