IT Home reported on November 2 that Wang Teng, founder of the technology company Jinri Yixiu, posted an explanation last night of why the company chose a smart ring as its first device.
Wang Teng said no single device can solve every sleep problem; the best approach is to understand your body properly and develop a healthy lifestyle. He has worn various wearable devices himself: the Apple Watch runs out of battery after a little more than a day, and he often forgets to charge it, interrupting data collection; most fitness bands do not monitor very accurately because of cost constraints, and wearing them for long periods causes allergies and discomfort on his wrist. He even stopped using Whoop after wearing it for a while.
IT Home noted that Wang Teng also mentioned last night that wearing a smartwatch or fitness band can cause allergic reactions. He said the undersides of bands and watches generally contain materials such as rubber or silicone and sit close against the skin, preventing sweat, sebum and dead skin cells from escaping. Salt and metabolic waste then continually irritate the skin. Cheap and colored straps carry a higher risk, and the area beneath the sensors on many fitness bands is especially prone to irritation and allergic reactions from trapped moisture. Smart rings with plastic inner surfaces can also pose this risk.
As IT Home previously reported, at the ISHO Jinri Yixiu AI Sleep Technology Ecosystem product launch on October 29, company founder Wang Teng unveiled the ISHO Ring smart ring, priced from 1,799 yuan. It uses an aerospace-grade titanium alloy process for both its inner and outer rings, integrates 116 components, and offers what the company described as the industry's first full-dimensional ambient light monitoring, among other features.
