Emergency workers at two San Francisco healthcare facilities β Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital and Trauma Center and University of California Medical Center (UCSF) β will wear smart rings to monitor body temperature and other indicators to detect coronavirus infection at an early stage .
Made by technology startup Oura, smart rings, in addition to temperature monitoring, allow you to monitor the user's sleep, heart rate and keep track of steps taken.
Dr. Ashley Mason of UCSF, who is leading the project, plans to use smart rings to collect data from both healthy and infected people in the long term to learn more about early warning signs that precede the onset of symptoms of the disease.
