2 🩳 Summary

Just a starting point to get the ball rolling...

[Yes, I know Apple is bad. But this works for now.]

3 📄 Main Document

1 Tools Required for TinFoil TerraNos

1 Hardware

1 Smart Ring: RingConn Gen 1

1 Why?
  1. Much more comfortable to wear at night than Apple Watch
  2. 7 day battery life (--> lower chance of recording interruptions)
  3. Half the price of Oura ring
  4. API access (to be established)
  5. Matte finish (at least for black; don't know about the rest) to avoid light reflections
  6. Measures:
    1. Movement
    2. Heart rate
    3. Blood oxygen
  7. Estimates:
    1. Heart Rate Variability (HRV)
    2. Sleep
    3. Activity
    4. Stress
2 Sizing
  1. Oura sizing kit on display at Target (and likely BestBuy)
  2. Working on sizing comparison to Oura
3 Ordering
  1. Direct order (without giving more money to Bezos): https://ringconn.com/products/ringconn-gen-1
  2. Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D14FDHQR
4 Seizure Warning
  1. PPG sensors (red and green strobing lights for biometrics measurements) trigger seizures.
  2. Don't look at it if you can avoid it.
  3. Ring shape covers sensors MUCH better than Oura ring seizure triggers
  4. Trying to find alternative that does not trigger seizures.
  5. May be able to use a silicone cover. Haven't had time to evaluate yet.

2 Apple Watch Series 4

Alternative: Any newer model

1 Why?
  1. Allows EKG (ECG) recording in addition to the usual stuff
  2. Provides fall detection
  3. Series 6 or newer provides blood oxygen contentration measurement --> redudancy / cross-check
2 Feature Comparison
  1. Comparison here: https://www.apple.com/healthcare/apple-watch/
  2. Blood Oxygen: Ultra or Series 6 or newer (incl. Ultra 1 & 2), but already covered by smart ring
  3. ECG: Series 4 or newer (incl. Ultra 1 & 2), not SE
  4. Fall Detection: SE or Series 4 or newer (incl. Ultra 1 & 2)
  5. Sleep Apnea Notifications: Series 9 or newer (incl. Ultra 1 & 2)
3 Ordering
  1. Typically <$100 on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=apple+watch+4
  2. Series 10 at Target <$400: https://www.target.com/c/apple-watch/-/N-4xudd
4 Seizure Warning
  1. Most of the Apple Watch displays flicker at 60 Hz and trigger seizures.
  2. Turn off always on display.
  3. PPG sensor (red and green strobing lights for biometrics measurements) also trigger seizures.
  4. Don't look at it unless you have to.
  5. Trying to find alternative that does not trigger seizures.
