John replied to John's discussion Wellu O2 Ring - is it accurate enough for the medics?
"Yeah I was wondering about email address. I thought probably if they wanted me to mail them they would have given out an address. I can imagine heart data is considered more acute than sleep data, so it would make more sense to have that…"
