It’s the year 2020 and unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people are rethinking how to monitor and manage both their family’s and their own health. With so many doctors moving to telehealth, many are purchasing important health products so they can better assess and monitor their health conditions from their own homes.

The COVID-19 virus is leaving many patients with dangerously low levels of oxygen even when they are feeling well. An oximeter was one of the most coveted devices that people were searching for when COVID-19 began per many healthcare workers’ suggestion.  The Wellue O2Ring is a ring oxygen meter that tracks you and your loved one’s oxygen levels so that you can pick up this warning sign and get medical attention before the patient’s condition worsens.

Who Are They?

Wellue is a brand belonging to Viatom Technology that creates medical and wellness products that are consumer-friendly and help people to better detect and manage their health conditions. Wellue has many other medical devices available with medical-grade accuracy.

What Is It?

Wellue O2Ring is a patented smart device that allows the patient to monitor their oxygen levels and heart rate for long periods of time and is designed to be comfortably worn overnight. The many features allow the patient to be notified of low oxygen and heart rate levels, collect data and send reports to their healthcare team. It also comes with a companion app that shows both data analysis and trends allowing the patient to feel empowered with information about their health.

Some of the key features of the O2Ring are:

• Overnight tracking: The device continuously tracks your oxygen level and heart rate.
• Adjustable vibration and intensity alarm alerting you of low oxygen or abnormal heart rate.
• Free PC software and Mac app which allows you to print and share all data with your healthcare provider.
• The O2Ring is rechargeable and lasts 12-16 hours with stand-alone memory, meaning a smartphone is not even needed.

Where Can I Purchase and How Much Does It Cost?

Wellue sells its products on its website and it is also available at Walmart and Amazon. I found the lowest price to be on their website which was $170. Wellue is currently offering Diabetes Daily readers a 10% discount. You can purchase on their site using this discount code: BLDIABETES10.

My Review

At a time where many are neglecting routine visits, settling for virtual care, and wondering what the future of healthcare looks like, this is the perfect time to invest in your health. Having medical products at home can help you stay ahead of your health conditions. Wellue also makes many other medical devices such as pediatric oxygen masks, blood pressure monitors with oximeters, forehead and ear infrared thermometers, and Babytone Fetal Heart Monitors, to name a few. All these products can help give you peace of mind about you and your family’s health.

Whether you struggle with chronic obstructed pulmonary disease (COPD), sleep apnea, asthma, pneumonia, or any other health conditions affecting your oxygen levels and heart rate, I highly recommend the O2Ring oxygen meter. It is comfortable to wear and it alerts the patient without disrupting their partner’s sleep, lessening the burden on our loved ones, which many of us stress over.

Being proactive with my health makes me feel empowered to manage my type 1 diabetes and my overall wellbeing to the best of my ability. Having technology like this at your fingertips (in this case, literally) can make taking care of your health a lot easier and add years on to your life. Wellue uses the same type of technology that hospitals do, which makes me feel extra confident that their products are of the utmost quality and accuracy. In summary, I highly recommend their products.
