Japan Display has developed Virgo, a wellness service based upon JDI’s advanced biometric sensor and smart ring technology to support improved health outcomes for Virgo users. Japan Display’s Virgo smart ring is the first in the world to be equipped with an organic photodetector (OPD) sensor. The Virgo OPD sensor is formed on a flexible substrate, giving it a thin profile that allows highly efficient sensing within a compact smart ring form factor that supports high fit and comfort for users.

The Virgo smart ring can automatically acquire wellness data such as heart rates, blood oxygen levels, sleep time, step counts, and calorie consumption and is integrated with Virgo’s app and cloud-based data management system.

Virgo not only provides real-time monitoring of users’ daily wellness status but also supports users’ wellness and positive behavioural changes by providing advice and information tailored to individuals from qualified health professionals. Japan Display will begin offering Virgo trial usage this month to corporations and organizations interested in supporting higher wellness for their employees and members.
