Movano is developing a proprietary digital platform that combines a non-invasive and cuffless wearable device, radio frequency (RF) technology, and sensors to record patient vitals in real-time. The company claims that its painless and inexpensive wearable device is unlike many of the medical devices available in the market, which are still invasive (requiring cuffs and needles) in addition to being expensive.
The company plans to use its patent-pending RF technology to develop miniature, dynamic integrated circuits and proprietary algorithms that can be embedded into various devices, including a wearable, standalone phone case, ring, or skin patch. Movano’s flagship medical device is being developed to combine the features of a continuous glucose monitoring device and a cuffless RF blood pressure monitor into one wearable device. In November 2023, the company launched the smart ring, Evie, targeting the female health market. The ring measures all the basic patient metrics and its integrated app provides personalized insights and actionable advice using the collected data.
