Samsung's sneak peek has us ready to put a (Galaxy) Ring on it. Here are the rumoured features and release date for their new smart ring.

The Guardian reminds us that 95% of deaths from malaria happen in Africa, with kids under 5 most affected. Meanwhile, in the U.K., millions of people are urged to get their kids up to date with MMR shots as a surge in measles cases hits.

The company aims to eventually give consumers a complete picture of their well-being via sensors on different parts of the body and around the home.

In a recent Bloomberg interview, Samsung executive Hon Pak says it’s actively pursuing noninvasive blood glucose monitoring and continuous blood pressure checks. Pak declined to give any concrete timeline but said he hopes to bring it to market in five years. This is all part of a larger push toward health, as evidenced by the forthcoming Galaxy Ring. (Which Bloomberg says is unlikely to work with iOS.) Just take stories like this with a grain of salt. There’s a good reason why this tech is taking so long, and probably won’t end up in wearables the way we expect.

The company wants to deliver technologies that could save millions of people time and stress before its biggest competitor.
