Oura ring as implant?

northstar

does not equal northsense

directly implanting it would be impossible, because the Qi charging coil is only functional when the ring circle is complete. Also yeah what they said, the offgassing from secondary cell lithium ion batteries will eventually burst any encapsulation.

pacemakers use primary cell lithium iodide batteries that cannot be recharged, and the tiny amount of hyrdogen offgassing they do is accounted for in the construction of the device (they’re hermetically sealed and have metal casings that can withstand any pressure changes).

I would say patience is your friend here. Don’t worry, you’re not the first to think of having this functionality in an implant form factor
