Catalyzing a transformative lifestyle shift, the Luna Ring is an ideal ally equipped with advanced sensors (PPG, skin temperature, and 3-axis accelerometer) and personalized nudges. The temperature sensor further tracks body variations influenced by diet and exercise. The state-of-the-art wearable comes in an ultra-lightweight 3mm band width and is made of fighter-jet grade titanium featuring a diamond-like coating and pointing edge for guided wearing.
Apollo3 Blue Plus is the industry's most popular energy-efficient system-on-chip for smart wearables. Built on the proprietary Subthreshold Power-Optimized Technology (SPOT®) platform, Ambiq's 3rd generation SoC comes with an integrated Bluetooth® Low Energy 5.1 for connectivity, turboSPOT® for accelerated computing up to 96 MHz, and secureSPOT® for additional security. The Apollo3 Blue Plus has enabled millions of IoT endpoint products for exceptional user experience.
