A new wearable is putting blood pressure insights at your fingertips. Signal Ring is a smart ring designed to track blood pressure throughout the day and night without a traditional arm cuff, while also monitoring sleep, heart rate, and other wellness metrics. LifeMinute.TV Lifestyle Editor and lifestyle expert, Joann Butler caught up with Signal Ring co-founder and CEO Tom Moss and health journalist Liz Baker Plosser to learn more. For Moss, the technology was inspired by a personal health scare after severe, undiagnosed hypertension landed him in the emergency room. “You don't feel blood pressure,” Moss explained, emphasizing the importance of better understanding a condition often called the “silent killer.” Plosser shared how the ring has helped her recognize the impact of everyday habits, including strength training, quality sleep, connecting with loved ones, and practicing deep breathing during stressful moments. “I've also been so heartened and motivated about how my daily healthy habits make such a big difference, not only in how I feel, but also in my blood pressure,” she said. Moss also discovered that sauna sessions had a surprisingly significant impact on his own blood pressure, noting that everyone's response to activities like exercise and coffee can be different. Signal Ring is available for $399 at SignalRing.com, with no monthly subscription required. HSA and FSA funds may also be used for eligible purchases.
