Rumors of Samsung developing a smart ring have been circulating since 2022, says a Jan. 17 article from CNET

Though Samsung didn’t release many specifics aside from the name, company officials said the ring would feature ‘leading sensor technologies and comfortable 24/7 wear’. 

The Galaxy Ring will compete with other smart rings, like Oura, a Finnish-made ring requiring a monthly subscription, and Evie, a smart ring designed specifically for women. The Galaxy Ring’s release date was not made public, but the company said it is to be expected ‘soon’.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
