Editorial summaries
Evie Ring (and EvieMED)
Movano Health's Evie Ring is a women's-health-focused smart ring (menstrual-cycle tracking, sleep, energy, heart rate, SpO2, and mood and goal trends; general-wellness, not a diagnostic) and the lifecycle-state-paused archetype of DEPLOY's biometric ring sub-cohort. The verified-vs-claimed distinction is critical: Evie Ring sales are PAUSED, not discontinued. Following Movano Health's Corvex reverse merger (closed March 19, 2026), an AI-infrastructure pivot, and a 1-for-10 reverse split, the company paused Evie Ring sales while a divestiture of its EvieMED clinical line is pending. EvieMED (the B2B/clinical variant) is an FDA 510(k)-cleared pulse oximeter and heart-rate device (December 2, 2024) for clinical trials, remote patient monitoring, and payors and pharma. DEPLOY records the consumer Evie Ring at paused availability with no current retail price. Aggregators routinely flatten this as 'Movano discontinued the Evie Ring'; the accurate state is sales-paused amid a corporate pivot, with the EvieMED divestiture pending (an intention where not yet closed). Movano Health trades as NASDAQ: MOVE (CEO John Mastrototaro).
RingConn (Gen 2 / Gen 3)
RingConn (the Gen 2 at about $279, plus the Gen 2 Air and a Gen 3 arriving late May 2026; from RingConn, Shenzhen) is the subscription-free archetype of the biometric ring sub-cohort: all standard features are free for life, the core positioning against Oura's required membership and Whoop's subscription-only model. Its sensors (PPG, skin temperature, SpO2, accelerometer) drive sleep, heart rate and HRV, and a deep-learning sleep-apnea / AHI screening feature, with 10-to-12-day battery (the charging case extends to about 150 days). The verified-vs-claimed throughline: the sleep-apnea / AHI feature is a company-claimed screening capability (RingConn cites about 90.7% accuracy) that is NOT FDA-cleared. RingConn's own materials say it is 'actively pursuing clearance' and 'not intended to diagnose'; DEPLOY records the AHI claim as claimed, not cleared, the direct counterpoint to the genuinely-cleared Happy Ring in the same form factor. On the patent front, RingConn settled and licensed cleanly in the smart-ring ITC litigation; it was not import-banned, unlike Ultrahuman. Price is $279, subscription-free.
