LOS ANGELES, April 6, 2022 – BodiMetrics is thrilled to announce that its innovative Gen-1st Circul+ wellness ring has made history by becoming the first smart ring in space. This groundbreaking event took place aboard the recent Blue Origin flight, New Shepard NS-20, where it was worn by passenger Jim Kitchen, an entrepreneur and professor at the University of North Carolina.
A Historic Space Flight
Jim Kitchen chose the Circul+ to collect vital health data during his historic commercial space flight. As a unique and advanced health monitoring device, the circul+ is the only smart ring on the market capable of accurately measuring heart rate, heart rate variability, blood oxygen levels, and finger temperature in real-time.

Real-Time Health Monitoring
"Lifting off with one of the first commercial space flights ever is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," said Kitchen. "I wanted the best tool to monitor my health metrics in real-time. After an exhaustive search, I found the Prevention circul+ by BodiMetrics. Its continuous measurement capabilities made it the only device that would allow my students in UNC's Astronomy Department to track my heart rate and other metrics as I traveled into space."
Showcasing Innovation
BodiMetrics co-founder Niel Friedman expressed excitement about this unique opportunity: "When Jim called me about his space flight, I knew this was a perfect chance to showcase the uniqueness of our ring. He needed an efficient and accurate way to measure his body's stress response during his first experience of space travel. We couldn’t be happier to join Jim and Blue Origin on this historic mission."
Conclusion
The Circul+ not only marks a significant milestone for BodiMetrics but also represents a leap forward in personal health monitoring technology. As we continue to push the boundaries of innovation, we look forward to seeing how our smart ring can revolutionize health management in extreme environments.
