Apollon is a pioneering wearable device designed for comprehensive monitoring of vital health indicators. Integrating both a wrist-worn module and a ring-type sensor,Apollon automatically and periodically measures SpO₂,irregular pulse,pulse rate,blood pressure,respiration rate,and skin temperature,while also offering on-demand body temperature measurements. Engineered with hospitalized patients in mind,Apollon supports extensive tracking of health data,providing valuable insights for health monitoring and treatment.

Apollon's innovative design includes a wrist-worn control module with an integrated monitor and a detachable ring-type sensor module,connected seamlessly for optimal user experience. The wristband is crafted from silicone,promoting hygienic use and enabling secure attachment and removal from the control module. Additionally,the single-sized silicone ring around the sensor module provides comfort and adaptability,allowing users of varying finger sizes to wear the sensor comfortably for extended periods. The hardware is streamlined with power,charging,and data transmission connectors on a single surface,optimizing its structure for enhanced ease of use.

In parallel with Apollon's success,Sky Labs' CART BP pro,a ring-type ambulatory blood pressure monitoring device,has been selected as the primary monitoring tool for an ambitious five-year cohort study led by the Korean Society of Hypertension,in celebration of their 30th anniversary. This large-scale CUFFLESS BP Registry-Outcome Study will incorporate CART BP pro to further research into innovative hypertension management strategies. The study aims to evaluate a range of clinical outcomes associated with hypertension and to explore advanced,non-invasive solutions for blood pressure management.
