Health has become one of the most important assets for Apple in recent years. We only have to look at the great evolution that the Apple Watch has had around the integration of new monitoring sensors such as the oximetry sensor or for performing an electrocardiogram. Several rumors arose a few years ago about a smart ring focused on monitoring the health of users, the Apple Ring, and although everything seemed that the project had been abandoned, New rumors indicate that Cupertino is still developing this ring y could be launched in 2026.
An Apple Ring focused on people's health, by 2026
Apple is trying to integrate sensors to monitor and improve people's health into all of its devices. Health ranges from physical health to mental health and Apple knows this. The latest big integration is the New hearing health features built into AirPods Pro 2, such as the possibility of using headphones as hearing aids or the possibility of performing an audiometry.
Apple's goal has always been improve and introduce health sensors into increasingly smaller devices. And Apple's flagship health product is its smartwatch, the Apple Watch. A few years ago it seems that a design project was started for a new product that could have been called Apple Ring, which is nothing more than a small device that would monitor some parameters of the users' health without the need for a product as large as the Apple Watch.
A new rumor published by the leaker yeux1122 on his social networks claims that Apple continues to work on a ring-type wearable device and even in other wearable devices the size of smart bracelets and glasses, other than the Vision Pro. In addition, it could be ready for launch in 2026.
The objective of such a device will be get the same monitoring in a smaller device. This Apple Ring could monitor sleep, blood pressure, blood glucose, etc. In the end, the challenge is to get all that technology into a smaller device like the Samsung Galaxy Ring.
