Great informative video guys. Thanks and keep up the good work!
Mati Mashiri hi Mati thank you for watching and thanks for the comment ☺️
As a colleague physician, i was ashamed how to directly dived into advertising a certain brand, even providing promo code! Without explicitly saying and writing so.
far from an evaluative objective review.
Is that what you were looking for in this? I don't think they misrepresented themselves here.
As part of the college of physicians we are bound by certain obligations. It's not that the vid is bad (it's great), however I do agree the content steps up to the line of endorsement and doesn't dive into the FDA approval of these 'consumer' devices. There are article dedicated to this. E.g only 2 of the tested devices was able to match gold-standard ratings. *English version*: you might be endorsing a product that has over 20% variation. Imagine having this much variation on a COPD/ILD or patient CSA or OSA... False readings could kill them. You're in the big leagues now and ppl whole trust you because of your designation... there's a reason why physicians have a certain style of UA-cam video. If you're going to make a comparison video disclosing from a MD/physicians point of view you probably want to start by beginning to see these consumer devices are even close to medical grade equipment used in the hospital.
TL:DR if our undergraduate medical board saw us posting something like this - we'd get a professional flag and nice discussion about the roles and responsibilities of being a public servant.
Your heart(s) are in the right place just be careful about the above
"This is not an endorsement or a sponsored video"... but they do have an affiliate link. LoLoLoLoLoL
Ur right this thing don't measure anything right
Thanks for your review. During your testing what was your reference point to compare the Wellue to ? I mean how did you compare it to the Gold standard during your testing ?
Any new recs on good continuous o2 wearables ? Or is this still the go to ?
Thanks
how long will this track if fully charged? can the ring be used without the app?
Just ordered one. Great video. Wow cute doctors and brothers too. Amazing. Intelligent and cute too.
nice video do you guys any good affordable oximeters around price range from 50 to 100 dollar?
Which one do you think is better, this O2 ring or the wellue sleepU wrist oxigen monitor?
Wrist Oxygen Monitor
Hey I just ordered the ring using your code. Thanks guys! and Happy New Year!
thanks for supporting, happy new year!
@@CajunKoiAcademy Sure thing! The only negative thing I'm seeing in the reviews from people is the bad battery life, plus trying to get customer support to respond or deal with the issue. Have you any thoughts or dealing about that? I ordered it anyway.
Have you compared Wellue with sleepon HST ? feedback appreciated Thanks
I got the device, works well and very correct. Could be a bit smaller in my opinion. Battery life is excellent. It does have some drop-outs here and there when wearing it.
That’s awesome! Thanks for sharing your experience as many others will benefit as well!
not an endorsement...few secs later, hey we have a promotion code!
Tyson Liu affiliate promotion code haha thanks for watching!
@@CajunKoiAcademy thanks for that, and the review. Just ordered this device to the UK. Your review and others sold it to me. Just bought the Withings Sleep Analyzer, 1st night it says I have severe apnea. I'll use data from that and this device to go to doc and ask him to look into sleep study, or exaine me and potentially just arange for me to get a sleep mask of sorts, to get around this incredible lack of sleep feeling with tiredness and falling asleep all through day.
Thank you.
@@BelfastBiker so sorry to hear you dealing with these symptoms, daytime sleepiness is frustrating and can also be dangerous. We are here to support you, hope you find what you are looking for. Thanks for watching!
You took the words right out of my mouth Tyson but I will add... What a couple of deceptious con artists these two "doctors" are.
As a Doc myself, one aspect to these would be the person that removes CPAP at night so they could be woken if need to replace headgear without setting "leak alarm" and waking up partner. Pt's partners do not want to be woken up when pt gets up to use BR, etc. Thanks for good video, new sub.
Good point and well said! We haven’t been making many medical videos lately, but hope to get back to them in the future
Buy direct!!! Cheaper than amazon… now I need to deal w the return and repurchase!! Great review!! It’s been a necessity w/ COVID.
Doctors, when reading oxy saturation levels when the vibration alarm goes off, what position should my hand be in?Do I need to elevate my hand?
Thanks. I ordered the wrist band version using your code!
Maximilian Paradiz always happy to help! Let us know how you like it!
How do we know how to set the ring for thresholds? I am mostly worried about my oxygen as i have sleep apnea and no c-pap machine for the last 9 months because it was recalled. My sleep doctor quit and no new one yet.
Hi .. very nice reviewing . Does it can be set to lower than 80% spo2 threshold ?
Uh.. anything lower than 80% for a long period of time in the medical field recommends to go to the ER and get hooked up with oxygen.
I’m developing a pc software for 6minWT and I need to read via bluetooth port HR and SpO2 in real time. It is possible with this device? In witch range Bluetooth 4.0 works? I need a good connection for about 20 meters of range.
Thanks for any information you provide me
Watched to see if it was good for sprinting outside. Thanks for the tips. will look at other monitors.
One question. Does it have Airplane mode? Because I don't want any ongoing connections while I'm asleep.
Thanks for doing this review. Is there a device that can accurately monitor oxygen levels while being active? Thanks so much for any guidance you can lend!
Hi Brad thank you so much for watching! We have not had much experience with oxygen monitors for fitness and being active. we heard that fitbit has added oxygen monitoring as a feature in some of its devices this year. And I know one of my friends has used this one and it seems pretty reliable. It's not the cheapest but definitely check it out: amzn.to/2Lw7XeB
@@CajunKoiAcademy I just purchased the Garmin Venu SQ, which looks to have the same sensor on the back of it as the vivosmart 4. The accuracy so far is horrible, even when sitting completely still. I've compared it to two finger tip pulse ox units. It has read my spo2 anywhere between 91 and 99 when the finger tip units are hovering around 94 to 95 at the exact same time. Often it won't even finish reading my oxygen and tell me to check the fit. Unfortunately, I wouldn't recommend the Garmin watch types. It's a bummer since it would be nice to have something ready to use at any time that isn't also awkward looking or feeling to wear.
Have you reviewed or tried any of the more budget friendly Pulse Oximeters, like the ones from Amazon? I only really need it for pulse. I know, I'm lazy
Can we use the same ring to test more than 1 person?
I just read the oxygen advantage and the author recommends purchasing a oximeter while performing some of the breathing exercises therefore I am not looking for a oximeter to monitor any illnesses that I have do you think this ring is an over kill for me? I don’t think I’d wear it while I sleep I’d only use it when i do the breathing exercises thanks
Yea it may be overkill, you can go with a standard Amazon pulse ox perhaps
Doctor recently had me wear one of these rings for an in-home sleep study and it made me realize how superior it is vs. my finger clamp style sp02 monitor which requires 2x AAA batteries (instead of being rechargeable via USB like the ring) ,the ring just slides on and stays put while the finger clamp monitor requires extra work to prevent it from falling off overnight and it feels heavy compared to the ring, the clamp monitor also burns through AAA batteries in 3 overnight sessions. the current $159 asking price from wellue's site doesn't seem to bad all things considered.
Thanks!
What if you don't feel the vibration can u set an audible alarm? How strong is the vibration?
You can set the vibration intensity, the highest setting will vibrate hard enough to wake you up and make an audible sound of vibration
I had to order one today I have to wear it 24/7 due to having Pulmonary arterial hypertension hopefully it works I tried everything else
Hello do you just use it when you sleep or throughout the day?
I do when I want to have a long nap.
I looked on the App Store and could not find an app for this device. do you know act that app is called?
Can you review portable ekg devices
I just got mine half an hour a go..I really love it .. however, I don't like the buzz & there doesn't seem to be any way to turn it off!! is there?
cherry congrats! And there is a way to adjust the strength of the vibration but you’ll have to download the app and adjust the settings there. So glad to hear you are enjoying it!
Hello i want to ask.. with go2 sleep ring.. which one is better? Or u have oppinion? Because i so confuse...
chr15t0ff3r99 go2 looks like an oxygen reader for more active users like exercise. Wellue isn’t great for activity but better for sleep
The Ring is indeed valuable.
Regular Finger-Type clip-on
versions are good for a few minutes and that’s it.
Not cheap - gave my ring to
my mother, now I need to buy
it again for myself 😢
Rip off prices there in US. I got mine for just under $100 US

Question about the O2 ring. On the app, when the data is transferred, it gives an oxygen score and puts the number on a graph from green, yellon then red. It says if the number falls under yellow, contact your doctor. I have a new O2 ring and the sync to my phone is very intermittent. On my computer generated report, it gives the oxygen score number only. My question, at what number should I get in touch with my doctor?
They answered your question about the score number in the video. If it drops below 89, you should get in touch with your doctor.
I don't think it's ever going to be a substitute for a cpap machine. At best it gives you an additional data point you can use to help verify the effectiveness of your sleep therapy treatment because AHI alone can often be misleading. Great video! Keep them coming.
It’s not a substitute at all but it can help you determine how effective your Cpap machine is.
It is not meant to do the job of a cpap machine but it is of great value for counterchecking your AHI results. It measures the real thing : your oxygen level, not your respiration which most CPAP machines rely on with very poor accuracy.
With you being doctors, I'd really hoped you'd do an accuracy test against some professional oximeters. For example, if your oxygen level drops below 90 and the device doesn't notice, you're better off without one.
what are some professional oximeters out there?
@@canIhavethishandle omron heart sure pulse oximeter. Beurer.
Too bad tried two PC browsers and my phone there is no place to put a discount code. There is no "order summary" drop down.
I'm at 5,000 feet in elevation. Will that impact my O2 readings?
Thank you for the review. How does the accuracy of the o2ring compare with finger oximeters? I just received my o2ring and compared it to my Innovo oximeter. The o2ring seems to consistently have 2 - 3 percent higher o2 rates than the oximeter. Thanks
thanks for watching! the O2ring that we used was quite accurate, but we always recommend calibrating it with another device like say in your doctor's office or hospital.
I just got mine. When wearing it in bed but same and sitting up. It shows I drop to 85% I’ve changed fingers and same thing. I got up and took deep breaths and it still went off with 84-85%
how long of battery life? Could we change battery of wellue O2 ring for ourself and how?
Battery can't be change unfortunately.
Ordered mine right from Wellvue and it hasn’t been shipped yet and there’s no way to contact them besides email or message which I have with no response-I didn’t look in advance to see that Wellvue is in China-I wish I could cancel this order and get it from a company stateside so I can talk to someone
Can you compare to Eversleep?
Can someone answer whether Bluetooth can be disabled while u sleep with it on and then in the morning can u connect to Bluetooth and will tge night’s data transmit to the app? Part of sleeping difficulties is sensitivity to EMF’s and RF’s that we certain,y don’t need transmitting on our body ever esp during sleep. So I’d like to buy this but u less it has that capability it’s a no deal. Hopefully someone can tell me tge correct answer to this .
The KidO2 ring does have the option to link with Apple health. Hopefully the O2 ring upgraded.
As doctors, does it concern you that the Wellue CheckMeO2 is FDA cleared whereas the O2Ring is not. I.e. the CheckMe is a medical device that had was reviewed but the FDA (i.e. Wellue had to provide test reports in a 510k) but the O2Ring has not had any review. It is "listed", which means that it's on a list of things they make but has had no review. The CheckMe saves more frequent data than the O2Ring but no idea if there's any difference in their accuracy. (Many people use the O2Ring to monitor sleep apnea.)
The Lookee O2 Ring which the same has been approved by Canada Health.
Is this device a one time purchase or is there a monthly fee? If so, what is the approximate cost of the monthly fee? Thank you.
One time purchase except if you want to save your results in the cloud.
I've had one for 3 months and find it to be consistently accurate when compared to a finger tip clip on pulse ox. Quality control and service are lacking- the first one was DOA and this one stopped linking with Bluetooth 3 days ago. Their rep said "Send me a video" for a DOA product??? When studying before purchasing, I saw several complaints abut the battery dying in one year.
Have been using the Wellue O2 Ring for 2 years and half without any problem. Two months ago, there have been a problem with the software update which caused a lot of problems but this has been settled about 6 weeks ego.
Is this fda approved ?
I currently have this ring (& the kid version) for my grandma since her fingers are smaller and slender. I usually check on her heart rate & oxygen levels through the app on my iphone & ipad throughout the day (mostly in live time). However I noticed that the bluetooth range doesn’t go very far...especially when Im downstairs and there’s different obstructions in the way (ie: walls, doors, etc.) Do you guys know if there’s any way to extend the bluetooth range? It usually says the device is offline in certain rooms of the house. Thanks!
How about showing the inner diameter compared to a dime? Women use these devices too.
hi guys, great video. Does the app send a notification when the oxygen drops below a threshold in addition to vibrating? thanks
Davide Martella hey thanks for watching! Yes the app will record readings that drop to critical values that you can custom set yourself, and after a nights rest you can see how often you dropped. But that’s in the app itself it doesn’t send you notification to your widget or email for example. Hope that answered your question!
@@CajunKoiAcademy Thank you very much!! you're great!!
Davide Martella no problem, always happy to help!
Great review. But I don't see a discount option there.
thanks for watching! Sorry some people have been having this problem because the browser is setup differently. You have to tap on “Order Summary” at the top, to unhide the “Discount Code” field. hope that works!
Docs - are the O2 ring sensors more accurate than other PAs for dark-skinned folks?
As I’m sitting up watching this video my o2 alarm is vibrating at 87%
Is there any reason a "healthy" individual aka health nerd would need to buy an O2 tracker?! Like if it's not a medical replacement, what value does it provide outside of medical uses?
Lastly curious how your O2 levels are impacted when you're on a plane?
not really any reason if you don’t suspect breathing issues during sleep…
Hi, is the discount code still working? I just tried and it didn't work
It works.. WELLUE20 this works too
here's a new link in case it didn't work for you: bit.ly/wellueo2
Cutest couple i've seen on youtube.
I dunno. I owned one of these and I found that wearing the ring as shown in this video leads to insufficient perfusion readings and I don't have fat fingers by any means. I'm a bony SOB 😅 The best perfusion readings I got were (you guessed it) at the ends of my fingers. Might as well stick with a clip-on pulseox. Hospitals take their readings from there or behind the ear for a good reason. Don't mess with tried and true medical science for being "fashionable".
They are not meant to be worn at the end of fingers.
Q?- You mentioned the ring may be inaccurate with running due to motion. Will this be true on a stationary bike with hands on handlebars? Thanks
I have sleep apnea, and my insurance didn't cover a CPAP. I was going to buy one out of pocket, but they are all $900 or more. I couldn't afford it. So, I was constantly waking up tired in the morning, and - on occasion - waking up in the middle of the night GASPING for air. I felt like I was choking to death. I bought this ring a few months ago, and since I've begun wearing it I'm getting much better sleep and not waking up gasping (or not enough to remember it). In my case, I have no choice but to use it as a substitute for CPAP. I've used CPAP during sleep studies, and I tend to rip it off in my sleep. For some reason, my nose will block up in the night and I start mouth-breathing. Any one who's worn a CPAP knows, this doesn't work. The machine will force air down your nose and out through your mouth. So even if I could afford one, they don't work for me without loading up on Sudafed every night (which I've heard isn't great for your heart or blood pressure). This ring really seems to work for me so far, although sometimes I swear it will go off when I know I'm breathing just fine (Hard to tell when you're asleep. I'm probably not.)
Thank you so much for sharing this story, believe it or not this is not uncommon for patients to have to deal with poor access to therapy. But I’m glad to hear you have figured out a sustainable solution for your health !
Does it send a alarm to your phone?
this aged like fine wine
What if your finger is really small would it fall off?
the ring is not tighten down onto small fingers, but it should fit most fingers. You can adjust the vibration strength to different levels from low all the way to high vibration, but there is no audio alarm
You got small fingers? What are you 6?
hmm, I cannot find where to enter the "Mike and Matty" discount code. Expired?
acche2 hey and thanks for watching! Hm, have you tried checking out with paypal? It comes after you check out your cart. Let us know if it works!
@@CajunKoiAcademy I'm on the last step with button "Pay $179.99" , no discount code field to be found...
acche2 that’s weird. Will check and get back to you soon!
Same issue here, 3 weeks later. No place to enter that discount code. It also appears that Wellue no longer accepts standard credit card payments, and *ONLY* accepts PayPal. The purchase processing will throw a spurious error back if you try to purchase with a non-PayPal method, and redirect you back to the PayPal window to try again. Looks like they've still got some work to do before they're fully scaled up to do online purchases.
@@fullsleevetats hey, so sorry for the inconvenience! we have been trying to figure out why you don't have a place to enter the discount code.. and we are also not sure why payment options are limited. it may or may not have to do with the pandemic going on as Wellue is a company based out of China. we have not heard back from them. we will keep you updated. if things don't work out, we hope that at least we were able to provide a little insight on the product. thank you so much again for watching and these comments are so valuable to us!
"I don't know why we did this..." but yet you're doctors? LoL!
You promotion code does not work.... Any help???
sorry about that! the link was broken. here is the new one: bit.ly/wellueo2
I killed my ring by dunking it once in the bath tub. Now I am considering another.
Are they really doctors or the one that plays on TV? LMAO.
Thanks for the video, but Wellue has a LOT of very negative reviews in relation to customer service.
You boys look like youtubers.
You could have gone through the results in more detail..
This is just my guess based on my intuition. I think these two guys are Christians who used to, or still go to church together. Could someone deny or confirm?
"This is not an endorsement or a sponsored video"... but they do have an affiliate link. LoLoLoLoLoL
Affiliate is not sponsorship :)
Tried the promo code, not not work. Disappointed
getwellue.com/pages/o2ring-oxygen-monitor has 15% limited time discount code and free shipping.
sorry about that, the link was broken. heres the new link: bit.ly/wellueo2
Wanted to buy one but now hesitant after reading some of the reviews on amazon.
Eagle Striker thanks for watching! it’s by no means a perfect device. What are your gripes
@@CajunKoiAcademy Get of your butts and read the Amazon reviews for yourselves.
I bought this ring. Waste of money as it is so unreliable. One night it works. Another it drops out and records only individual minutes. O2 percentages vary by 3-5 percentage points. If you are used to a typical fingertip pulse ox device - this will show a lower and more variable value. Unless you can secure it around a thumbnail or fingernail. Easily scratched surface means it is unreturnable. Material is cheap and flimsy. But the cost isn’t cheap.
What are their nationalities? They’re cute!
How accurate is this device？Is it FDA approved？
FDA approval really means jackshit.......it uses the Same technology.
FDA registered, not approved. To test the accuracy, compare to another device, such as when you go for a doctor's visit. I noticed the oxygen was 3 units below my actual o2 level. I found the heart rate to be the same as my blood pressure machine and spot oxygen oximeter. However, sending mine back this weekend because I didn't realize you are connected to Bluetooth the entire time you are sleeping. This is unfortunate. They should only have Bluetooth enabled when transmitting the data to the app. Some good features, but that is a deal breaker, for me.
for that price, it is better to buy Garmin watch
Shame!
This is a loudly commercialized promotion...
You did not even mention sensitivity nor specificity.
It would have been less vexing if you did not state that this is not an endorsement.
📝
so youre not sponsored yet you have an affiliate code lmao?
I am having a lot of problems with this device. The device will loose connection overnight, causing false readings. stops recording and saving data and all in all is not reliable when it comes to the data collection. I am not happy with it and will return it. I am still looking for something more reliable and most of all a company which provides customer support. Wellue does not. They could care less what issues you have and what your needs are.
Are you 2 witch DRs ? 😆
Mona Lott 🤓 what’s a witch Dr
yeah sure not an endorsement WTF
if you have man hands this is to small. barely fits my pinky and it is tight
wellue sucks in that they chose to use a silly proprietary charging cord for their wrist monitors. lose it and youre screwed
No information on accuracy? Studies show many of these home pulse oximeters are almost like random number generators.
Robert Voigt yup you are correct, home pulse oximeters in general are all over the place because of many factors mostly related to the user such as having poor circulation, long nails, device slipping, so we went ahead and calibrated ours with the ones at my work in the hospital to feel better about it’s accuracy. Overall, this high quality one does perform more consistently than cheap ones we’ve tried in the past. But still it is not FDA approved for diagnosis of any diseases, you still are recommended to go to the doctor for standardized care. But its a good solution for people who want some kind of reading at home!
Mike and Matty Good to know. That you compared it to a hospital oximeter would have been helpful to include in your review.
Robert Voigt yes we have done that with other product reviews as well, but you can always run into faulty devices within the brand line so we always recommend everyone calibrate their own device if possible
@@CajunKoiAcademy Per several studies I have read comparing clinical level pulse oximeters to retail units, the inaccuracy increases as you try to measure blood oxygen below 90%. Above 90 % and retail level units are fairly accurate, but even then most are not FDA approved due to a higher degree of inaccuracy compared to clinical machines. The retail unit will be advertised as FDA approved it it was. They wouldn't leave that out to the advertisement. The only way you can begin to test a retail pulse oximeter is to monitor a person(s) who has readings regularly below 90 % and calibrate against a clinical level machine.
Too expensive
just pure bushit advert, dislike
Yev Must thanks for watching !
