  • description: From the Samsung Galaxy Ring to the Oura and the rumored Apple Ring, everyone wants to "put a ring on it." But shrinking a laboratory's worth of sensors into a titanium hoop requires some massive engineering compromises. In this episode, we break down why your smart ring might be "fat-fingering" your biometric data. A huge thank you to Dr. Daniel Franklin and the Franklin Research Group at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering for their expertise.
