MELO Bubble Ring by Shuting Jiang Wins Design Awards, Exhibits in Singapore

The MELO Bubble Ring, created by New York designer Shuting Jiang, is a unique wearable that turns your fidgeting into valuable emotional insights. It features a force-sensitive resistor to track pressure through changeable tactile parts and a photoplethysmography sensor that checks your heart rate variability. The collected data is sent through Bluetooth to an app that sorts emotions into categories like calm, tense, and overwhelmed, providing instant feedback and tips like breathing exercises. Built from durable materials such as titanium and medical-grade silicone, the ring is designed for everyday wear. Jiang's team, including Tianyue Wu and Xuanchen Li, has won awards like the iF Design Award and showcased their work at the Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore from October 2025 to October 2026.
