Accurate data for leading-edge research

50-100x stronger pulse signal

Outperforms wrist wearables

The finger’s arteries provide a 50-100x stronger pulse signal, leading to more accurate readings than wrist wearables, since typical wrist wearables sit on top of the wrist farther away from the arteries on the underside.
