Omni Health smart ring goes on sale with some unusual features
After raising $300k from more than 1,400 backers on Kickstarter, Omni Health has now shipped its smart ring to all supporters and opened up general sales.
Plenty of smart rings have hit the market recently, and here comes another. The Omni Health Ring is compact, handles the standard tracking features, and tosses in a few surprises. That includes food-related guidance and quirky motion-controlled mini-games.
It’s trying to do more than just track stuff
Omni wants to do more than just collect data. The idea is that this ring doesn’t stop at tracking. It also aims to suggest useful changes.
It builds a daily snapshot of your habits using sensor readings and quick check-ins. From there, it adjusts goals and offers small, doable suggestions instead of pushing dramatic lifestyle shifts. At the core of this is an AI assistant called Mini. It runs in the background and keeps the feedback going. The goal isn’t to lecture you but to offer a gentle push in the right direction.
One of the more unusual features is its take on nutrition. Rather than just flagging that you slept badly or were inactive, it tries to suggest what to eat based on your current state. That includes things like sleep quality, HRV patterns and recent activity.
If you’ve had a rough night, it might steer you toward a protein and omega-3 rich meal instead of simply pointing out the bad sleep. For a smart ring, that’s still rare. And all of this is tied to, what they call, their real-time ErerQi score. Which is their unique “second-generation readiness” metric.
You can also take a snap of a photo of your food. And the smartphone app will calculate the nutritional content based on that image.
The games are a weird twist
Then there’s the unexpected addition, motion-based games. The ring uses a 6-axis sensor to turn hand movements into game inputs. The idea is to make everyday activity a bit more fun. It might sound like a gimmick, but it offers a change of pace from the usual fitness tracking routine.
Worth noting is that some features , like the AI-powered nutrition camera and gesture-based fitness games, are part of the Premium tier. Early adopters get the first year included. The core tracking features stay free.
What else?
The ring is slim, just 6.5mm wide, and built for all-day wear. That’s important for a device that depends on steady input. It’s made from aerospace-grade titanium and has an IP68 rating, so it can handle swimming without any trouble.

You get the usual metrics like sleep, HRV, SpO₂, stress, calories and activity. During the crowdfunding campaign – there was also a mention of blood sugar trend estimation. That stands out, since it’s not something we’ve seen in a smart ring before. But we can’t see any reference to it currently on the website. So perhaps that is something that might be enabled in time.
The ring sells for around $200. You can check it out on the Omni Health Ring’s website or Kickstarter.
