WellueO2ring Pulse Oximeter - Rechargeable Bluetooth Oxygen Saturation Monitor with Reminder| Wearable O2 Meter Continuous Tracking of Oxygen Level and Pulse Rate with Free APP & PC Software

Works well with some confusion. We got this for while we wait for his sleep study since he has episodes of no breathing. The first night he wore it, it would slightly vibrate and he slept through it a few times. The second night, he didn't notice it go off even though he had some episodes. Then we tried to figure it out. There weren't very specific instructions, but the next night he tried leaving the app on and that's when it would wake him. It woke him several times by beeping on his phone and vibrating (he was able to turn it up higher). He didn't realize it was also going off when his heart rate would drop too low until the next night of keeping the app open. He was able to take the results to his sleep doctor, and they moved his sleep study up to the next day because of how serious they found the results.

In 2021 my husband was hospitalized with Covid. He was in the ICU for 3 months. During this time he had several lung related issues that resulted in severe scarring of the lungs that affects his oxygen levels. When we brought him home from the hospital I needed a way to see where his oxygen was at through the day and night. A ring that would sound alarms if his oxygen dropped below a healthy level. I spent hours researching all the different rings on the market and decided to give the Wellbu ring a try.When the ring came we put it on one finger and a pulse ox on another finger and they were within a point from each other or the same. As we would do his physical therapy it was crucial to know when his oxygen would drop below a healthy range. So we put the ring on his finger and this alerted us while he was doing his walks or physical therapy that his oxygen had dropped below the level we had set and he would sit down and allow it to come back up again.One of the things we loved about the ring is that it’s one of the few rings that tracks his oxygen continuously from the time he put it on until the time he took it off. Then it saves his oxygen levels in the ViHealth app from every time he wore the ring that we were then able to take to the pulmonologist and use this to help us make important decisions relating to his improvements.The other great thing about the app is when his oxygen dropped we could zoom in and track the time period from when it started to drop and how long it was low for. You can zoom in and get a close up view of exactly where his oxygen dropped to, it puts a triangle on the graph of where the alarm sounded. You can drag a line across the app and it tells you exactly how low his oxygen got to and when the alarms sounded. You are able to choose in the app at what point you want the alarms to go off with the heart rate and oxygen. When the alarm goes off on your phone of which you can also set a sound level for the alarm in the app. But the ring also vibrates when it hits the warning levels you set for it. This was convenient in the night because when his oxygen dropped he would be woken by the vibration and a lot of times his oxygen dropped because it came off in the night so he was able to put it back on without me having to do anything. Of course I knew it was low because of the alarms but a few times I was so tired that I slept through it (because I had it set low, needless to say I turned up the alarm the next night) but he was able to wake up because of the vibration and put the oxygen back on.It also gives you a heart rate reading and motion reading as well this was extremely helpful during the night to know if his oxygen dropped because he got up in the night.From the time I brought my husband home from the hospital my biggest worry was how would I know if his oxygen dropped to dangerous levels again without always having to be watching a pulse ox on his finger. This helped me be able to sleep knowing that if it dropped I’d be alerted. I was able to walk next to him and push his wheelchair next to him as he walked and know exactly when his oxygen got too low and had him sit. We now go for walks around the neighborhood and I open the app on my phone and track his oxygen from there.This is a must have if you have concerns with either you heart rate getting too high or your oxygen getting too low. I would and have recommended this ring to anyone that is looking for a way to track all of this information. It was a game changer for me.

A real gem, providing a font of well-presented and useful info in a relatively intuitive interface.Reveals much insight about your O2 saturation/pulse rate in relation to your sleep cycle issues. Stores your history and thus helps you manage and improve your rest and health, particularly in conjunction with a CPAP unit.Highly recommended!

Please see the October 15, 2023 review by M. Greene called A MUST BUY FOR OXYGEN AND HEART RATE TRACKING. That is a complete and accurate description of my experience as well. When COPD hit my family member10 months ago, we suddenly needed a way to monitor her O2 level continuously, with an accurate record, and a way to show the record to her doctor. This O2 Ring does all that, and it is one of only two or three product lines that are available to a consumer. The oximeters you can buy at any pharmacy give you accurate results, but they cannot be worn continuously, and for most of them you cannot be in the next room looking at the real time numbers as the patient sleeps or exercises. Wellvu is by far the market leader.We currently own three O2 Rings and we use them all the time. And when we needed techsupport, the rings were replaced within a few days, after just a couple of emails.Then why only 4 stars?1) with a critical device like this, you should not need technical support, it should just keep working2) all three of our O2 Rings failed and needed replacement before the warranty ran out3) the rechargeable battery's life needs to be much longer for each charge, and the battery needs to remain usable for longer than a few months--especially with the current price of the Ring (you cannot replace the battery, you have to get a new ring).4) a much needed feature--ability to monitor the numbers in real time from a distance longer than 100 feet, i.e. over the Internet, not just within you LAN--exists in theory, but is not reliable at all. I tried hard to use that feature, and I gave up. It only "sort of" works.I realize the engineering challenges, and congratulate Wellvue on what they have achieved, but I urge them to keep improving the product.I congratulate the customer service on their level of support, and hope they are able to maintain it. I know these are serious challenges, and they drive the cost up, but Wellvue is far ahead of the other options, and they should not stop improving this product. A lot of very sick people depend on it. Thank you.
