00:04hi guys well a new wearable is helping people better understand how everyday life experiences
00:10sleep stress exercise even your morning coffee may line up with your blood pressure i'm joined
00:16with tom moss co-founder and ceo of signal ring this fabulous new ring and health journalist liz
00:22plosser to tell us all about it so a signal ring is a wearable it's a smart ring that you
00:27put on
00:28your finger and it helps you keep track of your blood pressure all day and night and also keep
00:33track of activities that you do morning coffee lunch going out for a jog and looks at other
00:39signals like how long you've slept your hrv your heart rate puts all that together to give you
00:43context around the interplay between your daily decisions and habits and your blood pressure
00:48seeing this interplay is really important because you don't feel blood pressure and this actually
00:54it's why it's known as a silent killer because you don't feel it literally all the way until
00:58a very bad event and that's what happened to me so i had severe undiagnosed hypertension and i didn't
01:05find out until i was taken to the emergency room and then when i wanted to figure out what i
01:09could do
01:10in my daily life and habits to improve it i really found there was no tool that would help me
01:15track it
01:15and really help me make those right decisions and it's so lightweight liz what's your experience with
01:21it i know you've been using it a bit this has been so incredibly valuable in my life because
01:26it's just constantly tracking in the background uh what's going on so i can make sure things are
01:32staying on course and i've also been so heartened and motivated about how my daily healthy habits make
01:39such a big difference not only in how i feel but also in my blood pressure so things like strength
01:43training regularly protecting my sleep prioritizing connecting with my friends and my family and also using
01:50deep breathing exercises when i'm navigating a stressful moment uh i've learned that uh sauna
01:56for me personally actually has massive impact on my blood pressure much more than i expected so
02:02everybody's different what changes blood pressure from one person to another how they react to coffee
02:07for example exercise it's all unique to each individual but for me personally sauna was just
02:12tremendous and so that's something i try and do at least five times a week now so tom tell us
