CUDIS expands wearable lineup with AI agent and points system

Wearable startup CUDIS is launching its latest series of health rings, which feature an AI Agent Coach designed to leverage generative AI to aid with healthy programs for exercise and daily health. The AI Agent Coach generates tailored programs that include daily tasks, recovery protocols, supplement recommendations, and direct referrals to licensed medical professionals. The company differentiates itself from other wearables by incentivizing healthy behavior through a points system. Under this setup, users can earn digital points for healthy behaviors—such as daily sleep, hitting a daily steps goal of 10,000 steps, sports activities, and interacting with the AI coach. These points can then be redeemed through an integrated marketplace for discounts on health supplements and other products.

According to CUDIS CEO and co-founder Edison Chen, the company has sold over 30,000 units across its first two models since launching its first wearable in 2024. Chen stated that the app’s user base has grown to 250,000 users across 103 countries. He noted that the company’s strongest markets so far have been North America, Europe, and Asia.

The ring also tracks body metrics and daily behaviors, including sleep quality, stress management, movement, and recovery. These metrics are used to calculate a user’s Pace of Aging (PoA), a health metric comparing biological age to chronological age to show whether their body is aging faster or slower. The AI Agent Coach is designed to perform pattern recognition to help users optimize their health, specifically tracking metrics like Heart Rate Variability (HRV). “The AI spots when you’re trending in the wrong direction, such as chronic poor sleep, declining HRV, elevated resting heart rate, and either suggests lifestyle changes or connects you to a professional. The control is in the escalation pathway to the right care access,” Chen said. To address data security, CUDIS states that it keeps user data encrypted and secure via Solana, a blockchain platform.

To support its development, CUDIS previously raised $5 million of seed funding in 2024. The funding round was led by Draper Associates, with participation from other investors including Skybridge, DraperDragon, Monke Ventures, and Foresight Ventures.

Why it matters

CUDIS is attempting to differentiate its hardware by gamifying health metrics and integrating generative AI, moving beyond simple tracking to active health management.
