Do Any Smart Rings Measure Blood Pressure?

by

Smart rings are becoming extremely popular in 2025 because they are small, lightweight, and more comfortable than smartwatches. They track your heart rate, sleep, stress levels, steps, oxygen, and even body temperature.

But the big question many people ask is:

❓ Do smart rings measure blood pressure?

Short Answer: No—currently, no smart ring can measure blood pressure accurately like a medical device.

However…
some smart rings claim to provide “BP estimation” using AI, but these are not medically approved and not reliable for health decisions.

Let’s break it down in a simple, clear way.

⭐ Why Smart Rings Cannot Measure Blood Pressure (Right Now)

To measure accurate blood pressure, a device needs:

  • A cuff or pressure sensor
  • Tight compression around the arm
  • Medical-grade calibration

A tiny smart ring does not have the physical space or pressure mechanism to do this.

So real blood pressure measurement is not possible yet.

🧪 But Some Smart Rings Claim “BP Prediction”

Some companies use PPG sensors + AI algorithms to roughly estimate blood pressure.
This is NOT real BP measurement.

These rings include:

1. BoAT Smart Ring (India)

  • Tracks HR, SpO2, temperature
  • Claims “BP estimation”
  • Not medically accurate
  • Works only as a “trend indicator,” not a real reading

2. RingConn Smart Ring

  • Extremely popular
  • No real BP
  • Only HRV (heart rate variability) + stress
  • No medical approval for BP

3. Ultrahuman Ring Air

  • Leading smart ring in India
  • Tracks metabolic score, HR, HRV
  • No BP feature at all
  • The company confirmed:
    “Smart rings cannot measure blood pressure yet.”

4. Oura Ring (USA)

  • The world’s most advanced smart ring
  • Sleep tracking leader
  • No BP
  • Oura says they are researching blood pressure sensors, but not available yet

✔ Conclusion: No Smart Ring Can Measure Real Blood Pressure in 2025

If you want true BP readings, use:

  • A digital BP monitor
  • A smartwatch with cuff-like tech (Samsung is working on this)
  • Doctor-approved medical devices

Smart rings are excellent for:

  • Sleep
  • Stress
  • Recovery
  • HR
  • HRV
  • Temperature
  • Activity

But not blood pressure.

🩺 Should You Buy a Smart Ring for BP?

No.
If BP tracking is important to you or your family, a smart ring is not a good choice yet.

But if you want a lightweight, comfortable, all-day wellness tracker, then a smart ring is perfect.

🧠 Future: Will Smart Rings Measure Blood Pressure?

Yes, in the future companies are researching new sensors like:

  • Micro cuff technology
  • Optical blood pressure wave tracking
  • AI-powered BP models

But realistic launch may take 2–4 years.

📌 FAQs

1. Do any smart rings measure blood pressure?

No, not accurately. Only “estimated” values, which are not medical grade.

2. Is BP estimation from smart rings reliable?

No. It is not clinical-grade, so do not depend on it for health decisions.

3. Which smart ring is best for overall health?

  • Ultrahuman Ring Air (India)
  • RingConn
  • Oura Ring (USA)

4. Can optical sensors measure blood pressure?

Not accurately as of 2025. Research is ongoing.
