Devices
Everything I wear, stand on, or sit under. Some of it measures; some of it does something and leaves the measuring to me. What each one is for, how long it has been in service, and what it replaced.

| Device | Measures | In service | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Oura ring Replaced both the Whoop band and the Apple Watch. One ring doing what two wrist devices were doing. | Sleep stages, HRV, resting heart rate, body temperature, activity | Current daily wear | wearing |
| Stelo continuous glucose monitor Replaced Dexcom. Worn in blocks rather than permanently: the eight weeks behind my glucose notes ran March to April 2026, and the sensor comes off once the patterns are legible. | Interstitial glucose, continuously | Current CGM | in use |
| Apollo Neuro Worn for nervous system regulation. Whether it works is a question for the Oura data rather than for the device itself. | Nothing. It delivers gentle vibration rather than taking a reading | Current rotation | in use |
| HigherDose red light hat For hair. Stacked onto treadmill sessions rather than run on its own fixed schedule. | Nothing. It is a treatment, not an instrument | Current rotation | in use |
| HigherDose red light face mask The matching half of the hat, for skin. | Nothing measured on the device; photographs are the record | Current rotation | in use |
| Treadmill, under a standing desk The most-used piece of hardware here by a distance. Session logs run February to 1 June 2026. | Miles, steps, time at walking pace | In daily use through spring 2026 | owned |
| Withings smart scale Last reading recorded in my logs is September 2025. | Weight and body composition | In service by 2025 | owned |
| Whoop Wrist-worn biometric tracking, retired in favour of the Oura ring. | HRV, recovery, strain, sleep | Retired | replaced |
| Apple Watch Also retired in favour of the Oura ring. | Activity, heart rate, sleep | Retired | replaced |
| Dexcom Replaced by Stelo. | Interstitial glucose, continuously | Retired | replaced |
| Eight Sleep Taken out after it leaked. Replaced with a Saatva mattress and no sleep instrumentation. | Sleep temperature and sleep staging | Removed | gone |
