23 Daily — According to 36kr.com, on November 2, 2026, ISHO founder Wang Teng unveiled two new sleep technology products in Beijing: the ISHO Ring smart ring and the ISHO iFlow smart temperature control system. Alongside these, the company launched the personal sleep health AI technology framework ISHO Intelligence to achieve a full closed-loop from sleep monitoring to active intervention.
ISHO Ring Smart Ring Competes with International Peers
The ISHO Ring, the company's first health monitoring device, features the globally first Apollo 330B Plus chip, 32MB storage, and on-device AI processing capability, with a battery life of 6 to 10 days. Compared to the Oura Ring 5’s maximum 8-day battery life, ISHO Ring offers competitive hardware specifications. Wang Teng emphasized on social media that ISHO Ring provides better cost performance than Oura.
The Pro version includes a sensing charging case that integrates environmental monitoring of CO₂, temperature, humidity, noise, and indoor light—uniquely combining body and environmental data monitoring. Its business model offers basic functions for free, charging only for future token-based AI features, contrasting with Oura's subscription-based unlocking of core functions.
ISHO iFlow Temperature Control System: Positioning and Technical Features
The ISHO iFlow targets direct competition with US high-end product Eight Sleep, using non-intrusive mattress sensors paired with active temperature regulation. It employs dual BCG sensing bands to monitor heartbeat, respiration, and movement, supplemented by eight body temperature sensors and one bedroom temperature and humidity sensor for zoned data capture. The Pro version adds a 512-point flexible pressure sensing array to identify sleep posture. Thermal control uses TEC semiconductor modules combined with water circulation cooling, with the Pro upgraded to six TEC modules and 900W cooling capacity.
Pricing starts at 9,999 RMB for the base model, 12,999 RMB for the Pro, and 15,999 RMB for the co-branded model, offering a significant cost advantage compared with Eight Sleep’s 18,000 to 24,999 RMB price range in China.
Editor's take: New Opportunities in AI-Driven Sleep Intervention
ISHO’s new products emphasize integrating AI technology with hardware to transition from passive monitoring to active sleep intervention, leveraging the high-quality data available during sleep due to minimal movement noise. This 'monitor-analyze-intervene-evolve' closed loop follows emerging industry trends.
For entrepreneurs, this demonstrates a pathway from hardware sales toward sustained AI-driven health services monetization. Validation methods include assessing actual device battery life, accuracy of environmental and physiological data collection, and user engagement with token-based paid AI features. Technology maturity and market adoption will be key future success factors.
