Former Xiaomi executive launches smart ring and AI-powered sleep system
Devices1 min read
ISHO, a sleep-tech startup founded by former Xiaomi executive Wang Teng, has launched its first two products: a smart ring and a bed temperature-control system. Both are open for preorder.
What happened
On October 29, ISHO unveiled the ISHO Ring, a smart ring that tracks sleep, and the iFlow, a bed system that adjusts temperature overnight. The ring is priced from RMB 1,799 and the iFlow from RMB 9,999. Both can be preordered.
Key numbers and facts
- Ring price: from RMB 1,799
- Pro ring package with an environmental sensing charging case: RMB 2,199
- Ring battery life: six to ten days
- Ring offline storage: seven days of data
- iFlow price: from RMB 9,999
What these products do
The ring reads body signals, such as heart activity, to follow your sleep and give daily tips on your energy. The iFlow watches heart rate and breathing during the night. It then changes the bed's temperature to help sleep. It can set two separate temperature zones, so two people sharing a bed can each have their own setting.
Why it matters
Sleep tracking is a busy market, and this launch shows how a former big-tech executive is moving into health gadgets. The product mix, a wearable ring plus a smart bed, also shows that sleep companies want to cover more of the night.
What to watch
- Whether ring deliveries start on November 11 as planned
- When the standard iFlow system ships in December
- How well the battery life and sleep tracking work for real users
