What's Happening?
Lumia has launched Lumia 2, the world's first smart earrings that track real-time blood flow to the head. Developed with researchers from Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Harvard, the earrings use PreciseLight™
sensors to provide insights into blood flow's impact on energy, focus, and mental clarity. The earrings feature swappable batteries for continuous wear and are designed with non-allergenic materials. Lumia 2 offers standard wearable features like sleep and temperature tracking, with greater accuracy due to the sensing location. The company has raised $17.2M in funding, including government contracts and grants.
