Incora: The Earring That Tracks Your Health

The Problem with Where Wearables Sit

Health wearables have made enormous progress in recent years. Heart rate, sleep, activity, temperature. All of it is tracked continuously from a device on the wrist or finger. The problem is not what they measure. It is where they measure it from. Skin temperature at the wrist fluctuates significantly based on ambient conditions, movement, and blood flow near the surface. It is an approximation of what is happening inside the body, not a direct reading. For general activity tracking, that approximation is good enough. For tracking something as precise as basal body temperature for fertility and menstrual cycle analysis, it is not. Incora was built around a different location entirely.

Why the Ear Changes Everything

The insight behind Incora is anatomical. The earlobe contains vascularised tissue, blood-vessel-rich tissue that sits close to the body's core and reflects internal temperature far more accurately than the skin surface at the wrist. An earring post passes directly through that tissue every time it is worn. Incora's patented technology embeds a precision temperature sensor into the earring post itself, taking continuous readings from a location the body's physiology makes uniquely suited to the task. The earrings are made from 18-karat gold over medical-grade titanium, fully hypoallergenic and waterproof, with an eight-day battery life and a travel charging case. They look like pearl earrings. They feel like any other pair. And they are measuring something no wrist-worn device can match in accuracy.

A Health Platform Built Around the Menstrual Cycle

Beyond temperature, the Incora earrings track heart rate, sleep, and activity continuously throughout the day and night. What separates the platform from general wellness wearables is how all of that data is interpreted. Rather than presenting raw metrics, the Incora app uses AI to analyse every data point in the context of the user's individual menstrual cycle. The same heart rate or sleep pattern means something different in the follicular phase than it does in the luteal phase. Incora accounts for that difference and delivers personalised insights calibrated to where the user is in her cycle at any given moment. Fertility predictions, stress patterns, sleep quality, and physical performance are all read through that lens. The technology has been validated in an IRB-approved clinical trial conducted in partnership with the University of South Carolina School of Medicine and Prisma Health.

Built for Women, From the Ground Up

Existing wearables were designed as general health devices and adapted for women afterward. Incora was designed specifically for menstruators from the first prototype, with 86 patents awarded or pending covering the hardware, sensing technology, and AI platform built around it.
