Your incredible support and active engagement are turning VELIA smart ring into a reality. 

Introducing VELIA smart ring, the sleekest & smartest ring ever created.


It’s here! Your trusted health mentor. Your personal advisor for restful sleep. Your guide to a happy mind. As the sleekest smart ring and a true marvel of miniaturized technology, VELIA is not just here to elevate your habits. It opens the door to a profound connection with the only person driving your life: you.

 

Elegant on the outside, powerful on the inside: light, strong, and precise.
 

 

  • Patented smallest sensors in a game-changing spatial constellation technology

Our patented proprietary PPG module is significantly smaller than those used by other wearable devices, a remarkable achievement in microelectronics. A PPG module consists of a LED that shines light into the skin and a photodetector that collects that light from the tissue. Unlike standard devices made of discrete and bulky electronic components, our PPG sensors are fully monolithic and exploit CMOS image sensors technology. Meaning all the components are integrated in the same chip for maximum performance in a minimum space.

At the core of VELIA’s innovation is our proprietary spatial constellation of optoelectronic components. The VELIA smart ring features 6 photodetectors and 18 LEDs, meticulously arranged in a unique pattern around the ring, resulting in 108 PPG optical paths (compared to the market leader’s 18 at best). This breakthrough design ensures that no matter which finger you wear VELIA on, or even if the ring rotates, your biometric data is recorded with unmatched precision.

VELIA spatial constellation does more than just collect data—it adapts to you. Unlike generic devices that offer the same approach for everyone, VELIA tailors its performance to each individual, providing more accurate readings that reflect your unique physiology.

 

Why is the spatial constellation a game-changer?

Better Personalization: VELIA’s sensors dynamically adjust to your body's specific characteristics, providing personalized health insights and recommendations.

Improved Accuracy: The carefully placed photodetectors and LEDs capture more optical paths, increasing the reliability of health data such as heart rate, sleep quality, and soon blood pressure (2025).

Lower Power Consumption: VELIA’s advanced technology optimizes LED brightness and chooses the best optical paths to reduce power usage, enabling a longer battery life without compromising accuracy.

This cutting-edge technology takes wearable health monitoring to the next level, making VELIA the first smart ring that truly adapts to its wearer. By combining miniaturized sensors with intelligent design, VELIA offers the most accurate and energy-efficient solution available in the market today.

VELIA’s ability to transition from reflective PPG to transmissive PPG—much like a medical-grade finger clip—ensures that you receive best-in-class signal quality, no matter where or how you wear it.

VELIA smart ring delivers with elegance and precision. VELIA constellation technology isn’t just a feature—it’s the future of personalized health tracking.

 

  • Medical grade monitoring

VELIA ring features advanced PPG sensors that meet healthcare technology standards at your fingertips. Our innovation allows measurement of biometric data points with an unprecedented precision. It is Swiss, after all.
 

 

  • Slimmest smart jewelry

We started with our advanced photoplethysmography (PPG) technology and built the ring around it. The PPG is an opto-electronic method using light to measure blood volume changes to monitor heart beats and related information. Our state-of-the-art PPG module is significantly smaller than those used by other wearables, allowing us to create a sleek and compact ring that is both comfortable and stylish.
 

Guess which finger is wearing VELIA smart ring...

This unique approach reduces power consumption, requiring smaller batteries, making our rings even more miniaturized and easy to wear. A battery that keeps up with you.

By pre-ordering VELIA smart ring, you'll not only enjoy a significant price reduction but also receive a complimentary lifetime subscription to our app.
Join us in supporting a movement dedicated to making cutting-edge healthcare available to everyone.

Instead of a single daily score,  VELIA app helps you manage energy levels and boost health balance throughout the day with personalized insights and messages. By thoroughly analyzing your personal data, VELIA delivers specific recommendations and tailored advice to meet your individual needs.

Each day, you receive messages and alerts that help you understand and optimize your energy levels. Whether it's encouraging you to take a break, stay hydrated, or take a moment to breathe deeply, VELIA app is there to guide you.

In the morning, you plan your day; at noon, you recalibrate; in the evening, you catch up; and during bedtime, you regenerate.

Unlike other smart rings, VELIA helps you recalibrate during the day thanks to our continuous biometrics data collection.

Good management of your sleep, relaxation, activity, and nutrition will lead you to:

  • Lower cortisol levels
  • Faster metabolism
  • Better recovery
  • Emotional stability
  • Weight management
  • Improved mental clarity
  • ​Reduced risks of chronic diseases

Just to mention some of the benefits of increasing people's self-awareness.


Extra benefits backed by clinical validation

  • Fertility tracking

It is one of the features enabled by the embedded thermometer and the 24/7 wearable form factor. Indeed, the temperature measurements on the finger have been proven to be more effective than the wrist for good fertility tracking.

  • Blood pressure 

​Monitoring via an AI-driven hypertension index is another feature enabled by our proprietary PPG technology and the 24/7 wearable form factor. Hypertensive management starts with a proper understanding of how its risk moves in time. We have spent time deepening this topic and performed clinical trials in Swiss hospitals.
