Track your sleep, cycle, activity, blood flow, and more. Beautiful enough to wear anywhere. Styled as jewelry, sized to disappear.
If you are tired of bulky smartwatches and fitness rings that clash with your personal style, a new breakthrough in wearable tech is here. Lumia Health has launched the Lumia 2 Smart Earrings on Kickstarter, claiming the title of the world's smallest wellness wearable. Weighing less than a single gram, this device packs elite level blood flow monitoring and comprehensive health tracking into a piece of hardware the size of a coffee bean. By disguising next generation biosensors as everyday jewelry, Lumia aims to provide continuous, highly accurate health data without anyone even knowing you are wearing a tracker.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator: Lumia 2 Smart Earrings: Discreet Next-Gen Health Tracking by Lumia.
What It Is: An ultra compact wellness wearable that functions as an earring back. It tracks over 20 biometric signals, including cerebral blood flow, sleep, and activity, directly from the earlobe.
KEY FEATURES
Ultra Lightweight Design: The device weighs under one gram and is five times smaller than standard wireless earbuds, making it completely unobtrusive for all day and overnight wear.
Clinical Grade Blood Flow Sensing: Developed in collaboration with researchers from Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Harvard, the second generation PreciseLight sensor measures blood flow to the head. This provides unique insights into energy levels, focus, and cognitive fatigue.
Comprehensive Health Tracking: The companion app monitors over 20 metrics, including heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), sleep trends, daily readiness, menstrual cycle awareness, and activity levels.
SwitchBack Technology: A patent pending design allows the smart core to attach to any standard push back earring. It also comes with proprietary studs, huggie hoops, and ear cuffs for those without pierced ears.
Continuous In Ear Accuracy: Because the sensor sits tightly against the shallow blood vessels behind the ear, it avoids the movement artifacts and signal drops common with wrist or finger based trackers.
Swappable Battery System: You never have to take the earrings off to charge them. The system uses swappable magnetic battery packs, with each pack providing up to a week of continuous power.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing: Backers can secure the Lumia 2 for an early bird price of 249 dollars. A subscription to the premium app features is planned to launch at 9.99 dollars a month.
Options: Users can choose between gold, silver, and clear finishes across the stud, hoop, and cuff styles.
Delivery: The campaign has been an absolute blockbuster, raising over 800,000 dollars and shattering its initial funding goal. Initial deliveries will focus on early backers in the United States and Canada.
CONCEPT
The core concept is Invisible Wellness. Lumia believes that the best health tracker is one you forget you are wearing. By miniaturizing advanced biometric sensors and integrating them into a traditional jewelry format, they provide users with elite level data collection that seamlessly blends into their everyday wardrobe and lifestyle.
INSPIRATION
The project was born out of a deeply personal experience for Lumia Health co founder and CEO Daniel Lee. Six years ago, his father suffered a severe fall and broke six ribs because a lack of blood flow to his head caused him to pass out. Realizing that traditional wearables could not predict this, Lee was inspired to create a device that could measure cerebral blood flow in real time. The resulting technology not only aims to prevent catastrophic injuries but also gives everyday users unprecedented insight into their brain's energy and fatigue levels.
