- 'CART,' the blood pressure ring, recognized in Europe for its advanced vital sign monitoring technology
- Targeting the global healthcare market beyond Europe through CE-MDR certification
SEOUL, South Korea, Jan. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Sky Labs (CEO Jack Byunghwan Lee) announced on the 8th that its ring-type blood pressure monitor, 'CART PLATFORM,' recently obtained the European Union's Medical Device Regulation (CE-MDR) certification.
This certification was granted for the entire 'CART PLATFORM,' centered on the ring-type medical device equipped with photoplethysmography (PPG) sensors, and encompassing the mobile app, server, and the web viewer for medical professionals.
With blood pressure measurement at its core, the CART PLATFORM provides various vital sign monitoring functions, including irregular pulse detection. When a patient wears the ring-type medical device equipped with a PPG sensor, vital signs are measured; the collected data is then provided to the patient through a mobile app, while medical staff can monitor it through a web-based viewer.
This is expected to replace or complement the uncomfortable conventional 24-hour cuff-based monitoring methods, enhancing patient convenience while enabling efficient blood pressure management.
These benefits have already been proven in the Korean medical field. Since obtaining insurance reimbursement in 2024, 'CART BP pro' has been utilized in approximately 1,700 hospitals and clinics across Korea.
With this CE-MDR certification as a starting point, Sky Labs plans to expand its domestic-oriented business structure into European and global markets.
Europe, with a population of approximately 520 million, is a market more than ten times larger than Korea, with a steadily increasing demand for managing chronic diseases such as hypertension.
In particular, CE-MDR serves as a crucial benchmark for medical device licensing not only in Europe but also in various regions worldwide, including the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and South America.
"Securing the CE-MDR certification is more than a mere technical validation; it signifies that we have earned global-level trust by meeting the stringent regulations of the European medical market," said Jack Byunghwan Lee, CEO of Sky Labs. "Based on our unrivaled technology that allows cuffless blood pressure monitoring in daily life, we will continue to expand our footprint in the global healthcare market."

Founded in September 2015, Sky Labs is a leading healthcare startup that has developed CART (Cardio Tracker), a ring-shaped medical device designed for disease monitoring using heart signals collected through optical sensors. Following this, the company developed CART BP, a cuffless, ring-shaped device that enables continuous 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, providing valuable treatment information and making a groundbreaking contribution to improving the quality of life for hypertension patients. Sky Labs has signed an exclusive domestic distribution agreement for CART BP with South Korea's Daewoong Pharmaceutical and is preparing for nationwide sales to hospitals, clinics, and general consumers.

Sky Labs Secures CE-MDR for 'CART PLATFORM,' Accelerating Its Global Market Entry
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- The article is reported by Shuzhi Society:
At CES 2026, Dreame, a global leader in high-end consumer electronics and intelligent manufacturing, captured global attention with the launch of its X-Wind Air Conditioner, featuring the world's first dual robotic arm airflow system. This breakthrough in "active airflow" redefines personalized comfort through precision engineering and artificial intelligence, earning recognition from industry experts including the China Household Electric Appliance Research Institute (CHEARI), which highlighted it as a demonstration of Chinese brands' global innovation strength. Furthermore, the product's revolutionary design has been honored with prestigious media accolades, receiving the "Best of CES 2026" award from both leading technology outlets, Geekspin and Techfinitive.
World-First Dual Robotic Arms Enable True Personalized Comfort
The X-Wind series achieves a foundational breakthrough with its pioneering dual robotic arm airflow technology. Each arm operates independently, equipped with directional blades and a base plate, creating distinct airflow zones within a single space. This allows the system to cater simultaneously to different preferences—such as providing gentle airflow for a resting family member while delivering stronger cooling to another engaged in activity. When fully extended, the arms produce a natural, wide-angle airflow covering 126°, ensuring even temperature distribution without the discomfort of direct drafts. Distributors, designers, and media from around the world have expressed strong recognition of the design and innovative aesthetics of the Dreame Robotic Arm Air Conditioner and its whole-home intelligent ecosystem.
Intelligent Adaptation with Millimeter-Wave Precision
Beyond physical innovation, the X-Wind integrates Dreame's FlexEngine™ millimeter-level control system and deep AI algorithms to deliver a truly responsive experience. Using millimeter-wave radar, the system detects user location, movement, and activity, then intelligently adjusts airflow direction, intensity, and even the sensation of the wind—shifting between strong wind, gentle wind and subtle wind. The AI also optimizes energy use by reducing airflow when not needed, balancing comfort with efficiency. Visitors at Dreame's bustling CES booth queued to experience this smart, adaptive climate control firsthand.
Product Availability and Price
Following its initial launch in China, the Dreame X-Wind is anticipated to be introduced to the North American market in 2026. Further details regarding specific regional pricing and availability will be announced at a later date.
Dreame's X-Wind Air Conditioner is more than a product upgrade—it is a statement of how intelligent, human-centered design can transform everyday experiences. The recognition from Geekspin and Techfinitive underscores its status as a standout innovation at the world's premier tech showcase. By merging robotic agility with environmental awareness, Dreame continues to push the boundaries of what is possible in the smart home.
