            Picture this: you wake up, slide the smart ring off its charger, and put it on your finger. After a quick breakfast and getting ready, you give your partner a kiss goodbye and head out. Everything seems fine until you notice the LED light on your ring blinking pink. This indicates something unusual with your partner, likely an elevated heart rate. Curious, you grab your phone, launch the app, and discover AI-generated insights revealing that your partner is… aroused? Concerned, you realize you’re not home and something definitely feels off.

            While this scenario remains a work of science fiction today, the RAW Ring could potentially change that. If it ever becomes a reality, this device might just hit the market — at least in theory.

            Recently, the RAW Ring has garnered attention, being described as a “dystopian loyalty tracker” that can reveal if a partner is unfaithful. Currently, it exists only in concept form, born from the minds behind the RAW dating app aimed at curbing catfishing and ghosting through unfiltered, real-time selfies. According to CEO Marina Anderson, the RAW Ring is designed to complement that app, although user reviews suggest the app is still a work in progress.

            “Our vision for the ring is to deepen emotional exploration between couples and foster trust,” Anderson explains, noting that a ring has symbolized trust throughout history. With nearly half of marriages ending in divorce, the aim is to restore the ring as a token of loyalty.

            Although you can’t purchase the ring yet, its proposed functionality is outlined. The smart ring would feature an optical sensor for heart rate and variability, skin temperature detection, an accelerometer and gyroscope for movement tracking, and a noise-cancelling MEMS microphone for voice analysis. The ring would employ a “dual-level AI”—one for real-time processing on the device and another in the cloud for in-depth trend analysis. It is claimed that the AI can differentiate various states, such as vigorous exercise, arousal, and everyday activity, by analyzing a myriad of data points, including physiological stress indicators like heart rate and temperature, as well as emotional cues like voice tone. Additionally, a customizable LED and Qi wireless charging would be included.
