CES 2025: Sound Sleep With a Ring

VIV Health is launching the VIV Ring—the world’s first smart ring equipped with Generative Sleep Aid Sound—at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES).

Blitzscaling Ventures CEO Chris Yeh recently identified smart rings as a leading technology trend for 2025, highlighting their potential in the personal health revolution. Yeh said the familiarity of wearing a ring provides a unique user experience, positioning the smart ring as a new standard for personal healthcare. With real-time health data collection and AI-powered health predictions, the VIV Ring could become a standout product in the wearable market, according to VIV Health.

The VIV Ring measures and analyzes biometric signals—including heart rate, oxygen saturation, heart rate variability, and stress levels—thereby creating a hyper-personalized health monitoring device integrated with generative sleep aid sound technology for Wellness purpose.

VIV Health claims its VIV Ring is the only “Intuitive Smart Ring” available globally. It features a simplified VIV App interface that allows users to monitor and measure health metrics easily. Unlike competitive solutions such as Oura and Samsung Galaxy Ring—which suffer from cumbersome interfaces and unnecessary scrolling—VIV Health focuses on enhancing user experience and simplifying data visualization.

The device seamlessly integrates with Apple Health. The iOS app is now available, and an Android app is scheduled for release in February. The basic version of the generative sleep aid sound has been completed, and a customized version will launch in the first quarter this year.

Breaking from the industry norm of synthetic sound creation through digital signal processing, the VIV Ring prioritizes actual natural sounds. It includes recordings of ocean waves, deep-sea acoustics, rainfall in tranquil forests, and birdsong combined with monaural and binaural sounds to enhance sleep quality. VIV Health’s proprietary patents underpin this technology.

The Generative Sleep Aid Sound technology analyzes the biometric data, sleep patterns, and sleep cycles collected by the smart ring, constructing AI algorithm-driven personalized sleep audio that significantly improves sleep quality.

The VIV Ring features a concave center designed to resist scratching, and its diamond-cut chamfered edges provide both aesthetic appeal and luxury. In contrast to the Samsung Galaxy Ring, which has uncomfortable convex sensors, the VIV Ring employs a unique sensor technology that ensures superior comfort.

VIV Health has achieved the initial mass production milestone for the VIV Ring, completing development in December 2024. The company is participating in CES 2025 as part of the “Seoul Bio Hub” of the Seoul Metropolitan Government in Korea, an incubator for healthcare technology startups. Since being selected as an incubated company in August, VIV Health has received ongoing marketing and business expansion support.

The VIV Ring is expected to start selling on the market next month, with current processes in progress for FCC and CE certifications.

VIV Health is working closely with Gangnam Severance Hospital in Korea to conduct clinical trials to secure regulatory approval this year for its medical device products.

“We are working with Dr. Won-Seok Jang, who previously worked at Siemens Healthcare R&D and Samsung Medison and is currently a professor at Yonsei University College of Medicine’s Graduate School of Medical Device Industry, as our Chief Scientific Officer to develop the medical device,” VIV Health CEO James Shin stated. “We are excited to unveil the Wellness Smart Ring, VIV Ring, at CES 2025 and plan to complete development of the VIV Pro, a medical device smart ring capable of measuring blood pressure and atrial fibrillation, by the end of 2025.”

VIV Health is showcasing the VIV Ring at Booth 63416, Hall G, Las Vegas Convention Center, through Jan. 11.

Based in Seoul, South Korea, VIV Health Inc. is a digital health startup developing innovative health monitoring solutions through the Intuitive Smart Ring with Generative Sleep Aid Sound, measuring biometric signals such as heart rate, oxygen levels, HRV, and sleep patterns, activity tracking. Designed for everyday use with an intuitive application, the VIV Ring allows users to manage their health easily.
