Can I measure blood pressure with the Galaxy Ring?

While smart rings are equipped with a variety of sensors to track health and fitness metrics, they typically do not include the capability to measure blood pressure. Blood pressure monitoring requires specific sensors that can detect the force of blood against the walls of arteries, which is not a function currently found in smart ring technology. However, the Galaxy Ring can track related metrics such as heart rate and sleep quality, which can indirectly provide insights into your cardiovascular health. For instance, an elevated heart rate over time may suggest the need for further investigation into blood pressure.

What finger do you wear a smart ring on?

When it comes to wearing a smart ring, the index finger is often recommended for the most accurate data collection. However, you can wear the Galaxy Ring on any finger that feels comfortable for you. Here’s a step-by-step guide to measuring for a smart ring:

1. Choose the Finger: Decide which finger you’d like to wear your smart ring on. It could be your index, middle, ring, or even your thumb.

2. Get a Sizing Kit: Use the plastic rings included in the Galaxy Ring sizing kit to find the best fit for your finger.

3. Try Different Sizes: Wear the dummy rings from the sizing kit on your chosen finger for at least 24 hours to see which size fits best throughout the day and night.

4. Consider Comfort: The right size should fit snugly without being too tight or too loose. You should be able to slide it over the knuckle with a bit of resistance.

Remember, your fingers can swell or shrink due to various factors like temperature and time of day, so it’s important to measure when your fingers are at their largest for the most comfortable fit. Once you’ve found the perfect size, you can enjoy wearing your Galaxy Ring and tracking all the health and fitness metrics it offers.
