After spending over 30 years in the medical device industry, John Mastrototaro has set out to change what consumers expect from their wearables.
Consumers are looking for more than just an activity or sleep tracker, they are looking for a more accurate wearable that gives them a holistic view of their health.
Tapping into his experiences at Medtronic and MiniMed where he was instrumental in introducing the ambulatory continuous glucose monitoring system and the sensor augmented insulin pump, Mastrototaro has flipped the script on traditional wearables, building Movano Health as a medical device company rather than a consumer wellness or fitness device company, to give consumers and medical professionals the data they need and want.
The Evie Ring, available this September, is a medical-grade health smart ring measures a comprehensive set of health metrics including heart rate, heart rate variability, SPO2, respiration rate, temperature, steps, activity, calories, sleep, menstrual cycle, and more. The Evie Ring has also met FDA benchmarks for HR & SpO2 accuracy and is preparing to file for FDA clearance.
Beyond pursuing FDA clearance, Movano Health is focusing the Evie Ring on those who have been underserved in the wearables market: women. From bulky designs, to inaccuracies, to unintuitive and unhelpful data, current wearables don’t give women what they are looking for, especially as they enter menopause.
