This development comes as smartwatches and rings like the Oura Ring 5 are proving adept at detecting early signs of illness by identifying deviations from a user's baseline health data. The Oura Ring, in particular, impressed testers with its slim design that doesn't compromise on functionality. Meanwhile, the concept of AI-powered health monitoring is expanding, with wearables and AI algorithms working in tandem to spot potential health issues by noticing anomalies.
