At the AI Journey international conference in Moscow, Sber unveiled a new wearable device: the Sber "smart ring," designed to monitor heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and other vital parameters. According to a statement provided to RBC, this is Russia's first smart ring. “This is the first Russian smart ring capable of tracking and analyzing vital human health metrics. Its standout feature is the integration of Sber's artificial intelligence— the GigaChat MAX neural model,” the company announced. Innovative Design and Advanced Features The ring’s design ensures close contact with the skin, unlike smartwatches or bracelets. Made from durable, wear-resistant, and hypoallergenic materials, the ring weighs only 5 grams and can operate for up to seven days on a single charge. It comes in matte gray, matte black, and chrome variations. “The ring’s sensors track basic parameters: heart rate, temperature, oxygen saturation, and movement. Built-in algorithms analyze these metrics and present them as key indicators: body resources, sleep quality, stress levels, and activity,” Sber explained. Special emphasis is placed on two key metrics: sleep quality and body resources. Sleep is seen as a critical determinant of health, while resources reflect the body’s ability to recover, manage stress, and maintain productivity. Availability and Global Context The Sber smart ring, developed with input from experts in somnology and physiology, will be available for purchase in early 2025. It offers precise data on sleep duration and quality, serving as a valuable foundation for lifestyle adjustments. This Russian innovation joins a growing market of smart rings, including established models such as the Oura Ring 3, which tracks activity, body temperature, and menstrual cycles; the Motiv Ring, offering fitness tracker-like features; and the ULTRAHUMAN Ring Air, capable of monitoring SpO2, circadian rhythms, respiration, stress, and temperature. Time will tell if Sber’s "health ring" can stand alongside the best wearable devices on the market.
