"Lee is a former Bose engineer who led the engineering of its famed sleepbuds, and he, in his own words, "knows how to put tiny things in people's ears for a long time," he told me in an exclusive interview. After Lee's father broke several ribs when he fainted due to a lack of blood flow, he wondered how to create a device that measured that in the ear."
"Initially developed for those with long COVID or POTS looking to track blood flow, CEO and founder Daniel Lee is expanding his smart earrings through the second-gen product, built for a wider, general audience. The Lumia 2 ditches the med-techy look of its first generation for a stylish, light, and discreet health tracker disguised as an earring. In development, Lee learned that blood flow impacts various aspects, including energy, focus, and mental clarity."
Lumia Health launched the Lumia 2 smart earrings that monitor blood flow, exercise, sleep, and other physiological metrics. Daniel Lee, a former Bose engineer, designed the product after studying conditions like long COVID and POTS and after a family fainting incident tied to poor blood flow. The device was originally intended for patients needing unobtrusive circulation monitoring but was redesigned for a broader consumer audience. The Lumia 2 replaces a medical look with a stylish, lightweight, and discreet earring form factor. Blood flow measurements inform energy, focus, and mental clarity, and the device emphasizes comfort and everyday wearability.
