Title: Excellent product, using it to measure my O2 levels with the Inspire implant
Review: I have the inspire implant due to severe sleep apnea. It’s a great device but when they first activate it, it takes a little getting used to. The guidance was, if you’re feeling tired go up a level, otherwise stay where you’re at… The only problem is that in the early going you have good days and bad days, it’s purely trial and error. It’s subjective tuning and it’s very frustrating.Being able to monitor my 02 with the Wellue 02 ring is a game changer. The app is fantastic, it provides graphs that show your 02 levels and pulse rate throughout the night; along with calculations showing amount of time below 90%, within 90-100%, average, etc. A lot of great stats. I’ve gone down 2 levels on the inspire since I got it and I may be able to go down one more level, we’ll see... This is a game changer and thanks to Wellue, I’m very happy with the inspire implant!

Title: Works great for tracking Afib while sleeping.
Review: I was recently diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation (Afib). This works great for tracking my condition while sleeping. I was worried that it wouldn't fit, since it looked big in the product pictures, and I have skinny fingers/thumbs. It fits nice though. Not too big or small, and it's comfortable. I was also worried because some reviews said that it was not accurate, but mine seems to be really accurate. The heart rate matches my Garmin 405CX (w/chest strap) and my Emay portable ECG. The oxygen levels match the small pulse oximeter I have within 1%-2%.It's super easy to use. Just put it on your thumb and it turns on and starts recording. So far I can use it all night, sometimes 9 hours or so, and it still has a little under half battery left. If you have it on over 10 hours it will start a new recording as each one is limited to 10 hours, but it does it automatically so you don't loose any data. The screen goes off after about 30 seconds and you can turn it on (for another 30 seconds) by tapping the round circle on the screen. This lets me easily check if I wake up in the middle of the night.I especially like the graphs that their software produces. The oxygen level and heart rate are vertically lined up so it's easy to see what each was doing at a particular time. I wish the lines/bars on the "movement/activity" graph were a little larger so you could see movement better, but they are good enough. One graph shows all night on a single line with blocks of 1 hour (up to 10 hours) so you get a big picture view. Then it's broken into another graph that spans over 4 pages or so and are in 1-minute blocks displayed at 4-second intervals. For me, I can easily see when I go into and out of Afib. The device uploads data to PC quickly and I especially like that I can convert an entire graph/report to PDF with one click. This makes it super easy to keep permanent records. With my PDF program I can have two windows (with different nights) showing to compare.I also have Sleep Apnea, so this allows me to monitor my oxygen levels, something I've wanted to do for a while. This lets me know that my CPAP is working.

Title: Gives very good data on your sleep
Review: Wanted to confirm/deny I was suffering with sleep apnea, day (1) showed I had 97% O2 average, with my drops or low points, were still over 88% and only dropped for a few seconds in each case …So my condition that leads to snoring seems to be more congestion in my RH nostril due to an old injury causing a constriction as Afrin helps …I did have to lower the Pulse Rate alarm which was a bit too high , and I’ll continue to gather data then go talk with my Doctor about what the data says …Data from the APP is clear easy to understand with simple Bluetooth connectivity to my IOS phone , PC APP was equally easy to use with the report being printable in PDF form so that will help when I visit the Dr’s office….Finally the only reason it gets 4stars not 5 is that it doesn’t come with a storage / transport box / bag to protect it during travel… I’ll need to buy a separate one laterAll in all it’s cheaper than a sleep test the data is as good , so you can with your Dr decide if you need to consider CPAP

Title: Satisfied my purpose for buying it
Review: I had a specific purpose for buying this product and that was to determine if I had any degree of sleep apnea. This was driven by my recent experience of being in an emergency room with what was diagnosed as atrial flutter and had to have electrocardioversion to get out of it. I never thought I had sleep apnea but bought this to find out sooner than later if I had an issue to pursue with my doctor. The answer was yes, I do have an issue. My doctor said while the device is not “medically certified” it indicated enough of a problem that he referred me to sleep medicine for further evaluation. If I never use it again (probably will to help check effectiveness of C/Bi/A-PAP machine, assuming I get one), it will have been worth the $200. Understand other people may have issues that depend on their other circumstances; but, for me, it worked perfectly. Loved the chart I can print out to show others. Since most cases of sleep apnea are undiagnosed, I recommend it for many others to just check.

Review: Got this for my mother (who has a lung condition) and overall we have been quite impressed, we use this as an alarm as to when she needs rest and focus on breathing during the day. so for anyone not using it for sleep tracking it works well for use during the day. A few improvements we would like to see would be:1. better battery life as the battery life lasts 8-10 hours in real life2. better app, while the app serves us well for basic information it could be made better with interconnectivity for other people to view (pay wall doesn't even work when we try to set up remote view).3. there is a 2-3 minute delay (letting the algorithms do its thing i'm guessing?), it appears from when you start to move or breath poorly and when you get the alert on your ring (vibration), we have compared it to other oxygen sensors (over the counter and medical grade) and while it is accurate the tracking time is delayed. Would be nice if the data loop was shorter and was a little closer to real time data (<20 seconds). Reviewer: Frank He

Review: The device does what it says on the box; monitors your SPO2 levels. Just to explain, I've had open heart surgery (triple CABG) and I use a CPAP machine. 2 reasons to monitor oxygen levels. I was originally looking for a finger-clip style O2 monitor.I've been using the O2 ring for a week now and have had to only contact support once. The device wasn't being recognised by the PC software.The device is both bulky and fragile. You have to take care when removing clothing over it as you could break the elastic sensor ring. It's easy to forget it's on, so be prepared to quite often get it caught in your clothing.The elastic ring has an expansion section. I don't have large hands but I found that it was quite tight even on my index finger. You can wear it on (in order) Thumb, Index, Little finger. Not middle or ring fingers. I found wearing on my non-dominant index finger worked best. On the little finger it was too loose and kept coming off overnight.The instructions warn against squashing the sensor in either direction; flat against the display or from the sides. This makes it very difficult to hold when attaching the charging cable or removing or attaching the ring to your finger. I found that holding the device at either end of the display to be safest. Unfortunately this puts a bit of strain on the elastic sensor ring when attaching or removing the ring.The device connects to your PC via a "special" read proprietary and expensive cable ($40 USD at time of writing, so don't lose it or break it). When connected to your PC you can use the Wellue O2 ring software to download your 'session' data. But there's a trick/trap. You have to make sure Bluetooth is OFF on your phone (so support advise, however I suspect you can just move your phone out of range or turn it off. There's NOTHING you can do at the ring itself to disconnect Bluetooth)You can then connect the cable, start up the software then wait for the ring to connect and download the data. Once you've downloaded the data you can then disconnect the cable (and cease charging the ring), turn Bluetooth on your phone [ I've found the Bluetooth connectivity to the phone to be a bit random. Sometimes it works, often it doesn't. ]Note that the cable is also a charging cable. I haven't yet checked whether I can charge the device using a 'standard' charging cable while also having it connected to the phone app via Bluetooth.I'm not sure how this might help over say a finger-type O2 monitor for around $30 (less than the cost of the data/charging cable for the O2 Ring), other than the logging facility.For the money spent I can't recommend this device UNLESS you suspect you have serious O2 issues that your health professionals do not accept. This will allow you to prove to them that you have O2 issues.[ In my Country we don't get a subsidy for devices like this so it's cheaper to just make dozens of visits to the doctors and specialists. ]In summary; at the price I can live without it. If it broke outside the warranty period I likely wouldn't replace it. Perhaps I might change my mind as firmware development improves.Hope this helps.Stay safe.
