PHC MAXWELL's tymo ring: Tiny Device, Big Impact on Personal Safety & Health

BELLEVUE, WA – November 8, 2023 – PHC MAXWELL LLC, a Bellevue, Washington-based technology innovator, is making waves with its new wearable, the tymo ring. This isn’t your typical smartwatch competitor. It’s a smaller, smarter device focused intensely on proactive health monitoring and personal safety, designed for anyone who wants a little extra peace of mind in their daily life. PHC MAXWELL, while a relatively newer name in the consumer tech space (founded in 2021), isn't a newcomer to technology. The company leverages decades of combined experience in sensor technology, data analytics, and product development – building on a foundation originally rooted in professional medical and industrial monitoring solutions. They saw a gap in the market for a device that blends continuous health tracking with a real, actionable emergency response system, all packaged in a discreet and comfortable form factor. And that’s where the tymo ring comes in. What is the tymo ring? Forget bulky wearables. The tymo ring is… well, a ring. Seriously. It’s designed to be worn comfortably on your finger, blending in with your style instead of shouting "tech!" at the world. But don’t let the small size fool you. Inside this sleek band is a powerful suite of sensors and a sophisticated communication system. “We wanted to create something people would want to wear, not just something they felt they had to,” explains Sarah Chen, PHC MAXWELL’s Head of Product Development. “Comfort and aesthetics were as important as functionality. The goal was to make safety and health monitoring seamless, even invisible, in your daily life.” So, what does it do? The tymo ring focuses on two core areas: proactive health monitoring and emergency assistance. Health Insights, Simplified: The ring continuously tracks key health metrics, including: Heart Rate: Not just resting heart rate, but heart rate variability (HRV), which is a key indicator of stress and overall wellness. Sleep Stages: Detailed sleep tracking that goes beyond just total sleep time. It analyzes light, deep, and REM sleep stages to help you understand your sleep quality. Activity Tracking: Steps, distance, calories burned – the basics, but presented in a clear and motivating way. Skin Temperature: Tracking subtle changes in skin temperature can indicate the onset of illness or changes in your body’s response to stress. Blood Oxygen Saturation (SpO2): Provides insights into respiratory health and fitness levels. All this data is seamlessly synced to the tymo app (available for iOS and Android), where you can view trends, identify potential issues, and share data with your doctor. The app isn't just a data dump, though. It provides personalized insights and recommendations based on your data, helping you make informed decisions about your health. “We aren’t just collecting data, we’re making it actionable,” says Dr. David Lee, PHC MAXWELL’s Chief Medical Advisor. “The app provides contextualized information, flagging potential anomalies and suggesting lifestyle adjustments. It’s like having a personalized health coach on your finger.” The Safety Net: Emergency Assistance at Your Fingertips But the tymo ring’s most innovative feature is its emergency assistance system. The ring incorporates a fall detection feature, using sophisticated algorithms to distinguish between a genuine fall and everyday movements. If a fall is detected, the ring automatically initiates an emergency call to pre-selected contacts or emergency services. “This is especially valuable for seniors or individuals with medical conditions that put them at risk of falls,” explains Chen. “It provides a crucial safety net, ensuring that help arrives quickly when it’s needed most.” Beyond fall detection, the tymo ring features a unique "SOS" gesture. By pressing and holding a button on the ring, you can instantly send an alert to your emergency contacts, including your location. This feature is useful in a variety of situations, from feeling unsafe while walking alone to experiencing a medical emergency. The SOS feature also allows for a “check-in” function. Users can set a timer, and if they don’t manually deactivate it, an alert is sent to their contacts. This is a particularly useful feature for lone workers or those participating in outdoor activities. How does it compare to other wearables? The market is flooded with smartwatches and fitness trackers. So, what sets the tymo ring apart? Discreet Design: It’s a ring, not a bulky watch. You can wear it comfortably and discreetly without drawing attention. Focus on Safety: While many wearables offer some safety features, the tymo ring prioritizes emergency assistance with its fall detection and SOS functionality. Holistic Health Monitoring: It combines key health metrics with personalized insights, going beyond basic step counting. Long Battery Life: The ring boasts up to 7 days of battery life on a single charge.

Looking Ahead PHC MAXWELL isn’t stopping here. They’re already working on future updates to the tymo ring, including the addition of stress monitoring, advanced sleep analysis, and integration with other health and wellness apps. “We see the tymo ring as more than just a wearable device,” says Chen. “It’s a proactive health and safety companion, empowering people to live healthier, more secure lives.” About PHC MAXWELL LLC: PHC MAXWELL LLC is a technology company dedicated to developing innovative wearable devices that improve health and safety.
