- Acer, a company better known for IT components, publishes a new intelligent health monitoring ring
- The Acer freessense ring is available in pink gold or black, and will pack the wellness information “ improved ” ‘
- Acer has not announced a price of the ring, but he said that there will be no additional subscription fees
Acer has announced the Acer Freese ring, a new intelligent health monitoring ring offering well-being information “AI enhanced”.
It was unveiled during the Calpex conference this year in Taipei, and we do not yet know how much the ring will cost, or when it is sold – but we know that it will not be delivered with additional subscription fees.
With two color options, pink gold (mat finish) or black (brilliant finish), the ring will be available in sizes 7-13. He will weigh between 2-3 g, and Acer says that he is “made from ultra-light titanium alloy”.
Even the best smart rings have a plastic interior to better accommodate the network of sensors, and we imagine that this will also be the case here. It is waterproof at 5atm, which means that it is safe shower and swimming, but probably not suitable for diving.
The Acer freessense is very similar to other smart rings from Oura and Samsung, especially in terms of data it collects. A press release from Acer declares that “the ring follows vital physiological measures such as heart rate, variability of heart rate, blood oxygen and sleep quality.
“The data points are analyzed via a companion mobile application, which generates personalized well-being ideas and provides suggestions. With functionalities such as sleep stadium and continuous monitoring, the Acer Freeesse ring helps encourage proactive health management and awareness of lifestyle.”
Back in the health and fitness ring
Acer has published smartwatches and fitness trackers in the past with its Acer Leap range, but none of these devices has ranked among the best fitness trackers of the time, and has never really made its way. With Smart Rings, a category of rapidly growing health device could be a second chance to Acer in the health space.
Acer is also the latest smart-ring manufacturer to assert the fact that his device does not require an additional subscription, such as a key sales argument to differentiate it from the tastes of Oura Ring 4. With so many health and fitness services which now require a subscription, it is refreshing to see more companies adopt philosophy on time.
Acer is already busy at Computex this year – in addition to the Freese ring, he also announced a pair of headphones specifically for translation, a new range of electric bikes and computer equipment.
