Movano Health EvieMED Ring FDA Clearance: Everything You Need to Know
Movano Health recently shared some exciting news: their health-monitoring wearable, EvieMED Ring, has received the FDA’s 510(k) clearance. This is a big deal for the company as it opens up opportunities for them to expand into various areas such as clinical trials, remote patient monitoring, and post-clinical trial management.
The EvieMED Ring is a smart ring that is packed with features. It can track medical and wellness metrics like blood oxygen levels, heart rate, energy levels, mood, sleep, and activity. This innovative wearable has already caught the attention of a large payer who is interested in running a pilot study with the ring in 2025, as well as a global pharmaceutical company planning to use it in upcoming clinical trials.
In addition to its potential in clinical settings, the EvieMED Ring is currently being used in a clinical trial at MIT to study long COVID and chronic Lyme disease. John Mastrototaro, president and CEO of Movano Health, expressed his excitement over the FDA clearance, stating that it is a significant milestone for the company and will help them reach even more partners in the healthcare industry.
Despite facing some challenges earlier in the year, Movano successfully relaunched the Evie Ring, a smart ring designed for women. This ring is tailored for women’s health needs, tracking metrics related to menstrual cycles, sleep quality, heart health, mood, and overall progress towards health goals over time. The company has improved the ring’s features and functionality, offering users deeper insights into their health using AI-enabled pattern recognition.
Movano Health’s journey hasn’t been without bumps, like a trading investigation and supply chain challenges that led to a temporary halt in ring availability. However, these setbacks haven’t stopped Movano from pushing forward and pursuing innovative health solutions with their wearables. The company’s dedication to improving health outcomes through technology is clear, and their FDA clearance is just the beginning of what’s to come from this forward-thinking company in the healthcare industry.
