Dhyana 2
A ring that tells you when you’re stressed.
The first smart ring to track sleep, fitness and mindfulness at once. A patented LED alerts you to stress as it happens, rather than reporting it the next morning.

The brief
Tracking tells you about yesterday.
Dhyana 1 tracked mindfulness only while it was worn. Dhyana 2 had to be worn continuously—and interrupt while stress was still happening, when there was still time to act.
The constraint
No screen. It still had to get your attention.
Smart sensing existed, and smart rings were on the rise. But Dhyana had a new challenge: get the user's attention without a screen.
Film / Dhyana 2
The ring, and what it reads.
The mechanic
HRV as an emotional seismograph.
A sensitive heart rate variability sensor reads sympathovagal balance continuously. When the balance tips, the ring says so.
Patented LED
A real-time stress alert, on the finger.
The form
Light enough to forget.
A split ring, not a band
It wraps the finger rather than encircling it, so it feels weightless and fits more hands.
Three measures, one device
Sleep, fitness and mindfulness usually need three products. This reads all three continuously.
Promoted by the best
A session, start to finish.
What happened
A stress alert that arrives in time to matter.

ALL THREE, ALWAYS ON
