UAE-based startup LVL Wellbeing, a corporate wellbeing platform that aims to help individuals and corporate teams achieve a healthier work/life balance, has successfully closed a funding round led by MG Wellness Holding, a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi-based Multiply Group.

The $10 million investment from MG Wellness Holding will enable the startup to incorporate HealthierU into its operations, which is already a subsidiary of Multiply Group.

HealthierU is a marketplace-style platform that connects users with wellness consultants worldwide, offering online 1-to-1 sessions. So far, the app’s ecosystem has yielded incredible results, notably a significant reduction in the risks associated with chronic diseases for many of its users.

The LVL Wellbeing app has a wide range of features, including on-demand video content and curated live sessions designed to support members on their journeys toward improved wellness. In addition, LVL Wellbeing’s corporate clients can access real-time data, enabling them to make informed decisions and understand the ROI of their investments.

samsung galaxy ring wearable will launch in eight sizes

The global launch of the Samsung Galaxy Ring is hotly anticipated, with details about the next-gen wearable gradually emerging since the company’s teaser announcement back in January. Now, a report has also unveiled the model numbers for the device, suggesting it will be available in eight different sizes.

While Samsung has yet to divulge detailed specs and features of the Galaxy Ring, it’s likely to feature an array of health and sleep monitoring functionalities, while boasting a battery life of up to nine days on a single charge.

As per a Galaxy Club report, there are currently eight confirmed variants of the Galaxy Ring: SM-Q500, SM-Q501, SM-Q502, SM-Q505, SM-Q506, SM-Q507, SM-Q508, and SM-Q509.

However, the mystery shrouding two absent model numbers persists, leaving speculation as to whether they signify additional sizes or if Samsung plans to unveil a later ninth variant of the ring, as previously hinted. There’s conjecture that these models may correspond to US ring sizes 5 and above, commencing with the SMQ500, with subsequent numbers potentially indicating larger ring sizes, possibly reaching up to size 13, aligning with model number SM-Q509.

Recent Korean reports have shed light on how Samsung’s Mobile eXperience division (MX) collaborated with the Home Appliance department to integrate Samsung Food with the Galaxy Ring: Tailored for daily activity tracking, the Galaxy Ring, when paired with Samsung Food and an intelligent Samsung refrigerator featuring AI vision, delivers personalized dietary guidance based on calorie intake and BMI.

Samsung is banking on the user-friendly interface and high durability of the ring to redefine the healthcare wearables landscape. Meanwhile, Apple is also making strides in the development of a smart ring, aimed at monitoring users’ health biometrics discreetly when worn on the finger. According to the Electronic Times report, Apple has been closely monitoring market interest in this more inconspicuous alternative to a traditional watch.
