- Personalized Wellness Plans: Future updates aim to integrate EvieAI with user-specific metrics, such as heart rate, sleep patterns, and menstrual cycle information, for tailored health insights.

Movano Health announced the latest enhancement to its Evie smart ring for women with the beta release of EvieAI, a wearable-based virtual wellness assistant trained exclusively with data from medical journals.
The new feature enables Evie users to answer health questions through the ring’s companion app. Planned future integration with Evie data will allow EvieAI’s responses to be personalized based on users’ own health metrics, including heart rate, blood oxygen, menstrual cycle information, skin temperature variability, sleep, exercise, and mood captured by Evie’s sensors and user logs.
Unlike general-purpose digital assistants like ChatGPT that are trained using public data, EvieAI is designed to generate clear and concise answers based on articles that have been published in over 100,000 medical journals and written by medical professionals. According to a release from Movano, this helps ensure accuracy and the ability to interpret complex user queries about almost any symptom, disease, condition, or procedure.
Evie’s new virtual assistant also follows industry-standard encryption protocols to ensure that user data, including sensitive health information, is protected during storage and transmission. This includes confidentiality protections ensuring that chats cannot be traced back to individual users.
“Our vision for the Evie Ring has always been to provide insights that can help users navigate their personal wellness journeys,” says Tyla Bucher, chief marketing officer at Movano Health, in a release. “EvieAI marks a significant leap forward in helping us fulfill that vision.”
Evie is designed with a small gap in the ring surface and slight flex in the scratch-resistant metal to accommodate daily fluctuations in finger size due to hormonal changes and other variables. It has four-plus days of battery life, recharges in 60 minutes with the included charger, and is available in gold, rose gold, and silver finishes and in sizes 5-12 with an optional complimentary sizing kit for those who don’t know their ring size. It costs $269 with no subscription fees.
The beta version of EvieAI is currently available for iOS only and at no cost to existing Evie Ring customers.
