Wearables startup CUDIS is launching a new line of health rings equipped with an AI 'agent coach' designed to help users achieve their fitness goals. The rings track various health metrics and behaviors, awarding 'health points' that can be redeemed for discounts on health products. CUDIS claims its technology can spot unhealthy trends and connect users to professional care when needed.

Why it matters

The launch of CUDIS's new AI-powered health ring highlights the growing trend of wearable devices that go beyond just tracking data to actively incentivizing and coaching users toward healthier lifestyles. As consumer interest in personalized health tech continues to rise, CUDIS's approach of blending wearables, AI, and a rewards system could appeal to those seeking a more holistic approach to wellness.

The details

CUDIS's updated health ring features an AI 'agent coach' that generates tailored programs for exercise, recovery, supplements, and medical referrals. The ring tracks a range of health metrics, including sleep quality, stress, movement, and 'Pace of Aging,' which indicates whether the user's body is aging faster or slower than their chronological age. Users earn 'health points' for healthy behaviors like daily step goals and sports activities, which can then be redeemed for discounts on health products through an integrated marketplace.

  • CUDIS launched its first wearable in 2024 and has since sold over 30,000 units across two models.
  • The company's app now has 250,000 users across 103 countries, with its strongest markets being North America, Europe, and Asia.
  • CUDIS announced $5 million in seed funding in 2024, led by Draper Associates and including several blockchain-focused investors.

“The AI spots when you're trending in the wrong direction, such as chronic poor sleep, declining HRV, elevated resting heart rate, and either suggests lifestyle changes or connects you to a professional. The control is in the escalation pathway to the right care access.”

— Edison Chen, CEO and co-founder, CUDIS (TechCrunch)

What’s next

CUDIS plans to launch a Kickstarter campaign soon to support the release of its new health ring line.
