Sleep, Battery, and Sizing Kits

Another week, another push forward. We're deep in the work, refining, testing, and adjusting based on what our Backers and internal tests are showing us. Here's a few updates from the Velia Team this week. 

What we are doing to improve on sleep: 

The sleep detection algorithm uses temperature, movement, and heart rate to identify when you fall asleep and wake up. It can be tricked by prolonged stillness before bed, excessive movement after sleep begins, or brief wakeups like bathroom trips. We're adjusting detection thresholds and retraining the model with more real-world data to better understand different sleep patterns. 

Let’s take a closer look at battery optimisation 

Battery performance has been one of the most common pieces of feedback from our Backers, and we're taking it seriously. We're now working on reducing battery consumption during idle time and during active measurement through firmware updates. The goal is to improve the overall efficiency of the ring, so it lasts longer between charges. 

Let's get out those last sizing kits 

We're sending out all remaining sizing kits to Backers in the US, the EU, Switzerland, the UK, Canada, and Hong Kong. 

Come back next week for a closer look at the progress we're making on app connectivity. 

One step at a time. We keep climbing.
