Lumia is making biometrics shine.
What’s happening: The wearable maker raised $7M in funding, secured $5.1M in grants, and launched continuous blood flow-tracking earrings.
Headstream. While its first-gen in-ear tech was built to monitor chronic orthostatic conditions like POTS and Long COVID, Lumia 2 is expanding use for everyday wellness, linking blood flow to energy, mental clarity, and focus while tracking sleep, temperature, cycle, and HRV.
With $17.2M in total funding, it’s scaling the compact wearable as hoops, cuffs, and studs to unlock medical-grade insights in a consumer-first form factor.
Incognito. Invisible diagnostics are becoming lifestyle must-haves, passively translating complex biomarkers into actionable recommendations.
Hiding in plain sight, smart jewelry merges high performance with high fashion, with Oura launching ceramics and Garmin and Withings crafting luxury timepieces. Meanwhile, Incora’s smart studs deliver hormonal health insights for cycle tracking, stress, and recovery.
Punchline: Straddling style and science, Lumia is creating a new category of wearables where preventative health monitoring is subtle, intuitive, and chic.
