Since the COVID pandemic, undeniably, most people have started taking extra care of their body metrics, which has given unprecedented rise to the number of wearable devices for health and fitness monitoring. Most of these devices: smartwatches, fitness bands, and even tech-enabled jewelry, do not have a gender inclination. Somehow, the Lumia 2, promoted as the smallest wearable in the world, is designed for women of style first.
This earring of sorts does not require piercing. The Lumia 2 is built to clip onto the earlobe and monitor your blood flow, while also tracking other vital metrics such as heart rate variability. If you were unaware, irregular blood flow can have a negative impact on health. The Lumia 2, designed as a piece of timeless jewelry and is meant to keep track of the blood flow.
Designer: Lumia
Of course, the device is primarily targeted at women with chronic blood flow disorders, to always be on top of their vitals. But Lumia co-founder and CEO Danial Lee affirms that the people within the team, without any blood flow issues, have also “discovered fascinating blood flow patterns” that are helping them live better. The smart earring looks like a regular piece of jewelry with sensors hidden behind the wearer’s ear. It certainly looks discrete and wouldn’t give out its actual existence until someone really goes deep into finding it out. Notably, Lumia 2 is also attachable to an existing ear-stud, if you want.
While we contemplate the viability of the Lumia 2’s ability to measure blood flow and the feature’s practical usage, let’s take a moment to understand what else the smart earring brings to the table and challenges the other types of wearables in the market. In addition to monitoring the body’s blood flow, Lumia 2 can also track heart rate variability and resting heart rate to notify the wearer when their body is ready for running, exercising, or indulging in a strenuous physical activity.
In addition to knowing how ready your heart is to face the world, with the Lumia 2 clipped onto your ear, you can also track how well you have slept overnight. It can also do the pedometer stuff and keep track of your step count. The Lumia 2 provides information about how to increase the blood flow or recover from its shooting levels, along with information regarding how hydrated or stressed you are while running or through the reps in the gym. With a decent battery life of up to eight days, the Lumia 2, starting at $249, should make a statement wearable when it’s launched in the near future.
