Veila, a small, light smart ring developed by EPFL spin-off Senbiosys provides users with comprehensive and accurate insights into their health and wellness by collecting data from the finger.

The data is shown on the smartphone app. The sleekness, design and simplicity impressed backers on crowdfunding.
