User testing is often seen as the final checkpoint in electronics development - but in reality, it's where true engineering refinement begins. While simulations, lab tests, and ideal conditions help get a product off the ground, only real-world usage reveals how electronics behave in the hands of actual users. In this blog, we take you behind the scenes of how user trials exposed critical design flaws in comfort, charging, durability, and PCB reliability - and how we systemat

In this post, we break down how we overcame critical PCB issues, antenna limitations, and manufacturing bottlenecks to take the Orbyt smart ring from lab experiment to real-world wearable. Whether you’re engineering a smart ring or scaling any small-form hardware product, this deep dive into PCB debugging, Bluetooth tuning, and firmware refinement will help you navigate the messy middle of product development.

Extending battery life in a compact wearable like a smart ring isn't just about finding a bigger battery. It's about rethinking the entire device architecture. In this blog, we reveal how improving battery life in the Orbyt ring led to critical redesigns in PCB layout, ring size, and even the charging dock. If you're exploring how power efficiency drives innovation in wearable tech, this detailed breakdown shows how each engineering decision shaped a better, sleeker product.

Designing wearable tech that works is only half the battle - making it manufacturable at scale is the real challenge. This blog dives into how we applied Design for Manufacturing (DFM) principles to transform the Orbyt ring from a working prototype into a production-ready smart ring. From fixing Bluetooth performance and resolving post-assembly yield issues to refining electrode design and perfecting the protective seal, every decision pushed us toward a product that could sc

Shrinking wearable technology without compromising function is one of the toughest challenges in hardware. The more compact a device becomes, the harder it is to maintain signal quality, power efficiency, and sensor performance - especially in a ring form factor. This blog explores the engineering mindset behind miniaturizing a wearable, and how we applied those principles to shape the next version of the Orbyt Ring: sleeker, smarter, and built for everyday use. 

With Orbyt, our mission has always been to blend cutting-edge health monitoring with everyday comfort. In this behind-the-scenes look, we walk you through how our smart ring evolved through multiple prototypes. Each prototype taught us new lessons - about battery placement, circuit design, and ergonomic fit - that led to a much sleeker, more practical wearable. Read on to discover how each engineering milestone brought us closer to the sleek Orbyt Ring you can wear on your fi

Miniaturization is at the heart of modern wearable innovation - but ironically, the path to getting smaller often starts big. With Orbyt, we didn’t jump into building a ring-sized device right away. Instead, we deliberately went large first - constructing early, notebook-sized proof-of-concepts. This allowed us to test, iterate, and optimize with speed and flexibility, without being constrained by form factor. 

A high CGPA reflects academic discipline, but true innovation demands much more. In the real world, building impactful products takes resilience, collaboration, risk-taking, and the courage to navigate ambiguity. This is the story of how three first-time founders built a healthtech startup and India's first ECG-enabled smart ring.

An Original Design Manufacturer (ODM) is a company that designs and builds products on its own initiative, which other brands can then buy and rebrand as their own. This guide explains ODMs and related models (OEM, contract manufacturers, IDHs, white-/private-label, JDM, OBM) and helps founders decide which model suits their wearable-tech startup or brand.

Consumer electronics is no longer a one-size-fits-all industry. Devices today are designed to adapt to individual needs. Advances in AI, data analytics, and sensor technology have shifted electronics from generic, mass-market tools to hyper-personalized solutions that cater to specific lifestyles, age groups, health conditions, and even genders.
