All of the genetic reports are made available for you to read. But Pangenea automatically integrates them into your app insights, so you don't need to memorize them all.

Pangenea uses a proprietary DNA analysis algorithm developed by geneticist Dr. Alexei Fedorov, Director of the University of Toledo's Bioinformatics Lab.

Unlike many other platforms, which rely on smaller or legacy single nucleotide polymorphism panels, Pangenea's laser genotyping chip system scans 527,414 markers.

Pangenea User Feedback

"My ring also let me know when I had a few days above normal temperature... it asked if I was feeling well or experiencing stress, which I was. Work had been exceptionally stressful that week and it was starting to show up on my body temp, sleep and HRV range. This helped me identify the stress earlier and address it... before it gets to digestive issues or eye twitching.

Pangenea helps me believe in the data. When a correlation between a couple of different data is tied in with a trend or DNA insight, then I feel more confident that it is telling me to pay attention."

Lisa B., Tucson, AZ, age 48

"It gives insights into heart health (my personal genetic concern) what stress does to my body and the stages of sleep and the amount of time spent in those stages. I use the info to help plan activity times, meals and sleep schedules."
Diana Ceperley, Westminster, CO, age 67

"I am learning the things that negatively affect my sleep, such as caffeine after 12:00 Noon. My sleep has improved, and I can look back at the previous day if I have a restless night to see what may be the culprit. No more lying awake when I go to bed.

Pangenea has made me more acutely aware of how I may inadvertently do things that affect my overall health... I am more confident in myself as it relates to doing the right things to increase my level of health."

Mary Jane N., Green Bank, WV, age 72

"I thought the data that I had from my Apple Watch was accurate, until I got the Pangenea Ring, which gives me much more information, that seems more true to what my body does... It's easy to wear, it holds a charge forever, and it doesn't long to recharge."
Roger Moore, Burgaw, NC, age 60

"My data was limited because I don't wear my watch 24/7. The ring I can wear all the time unless I'm charging it. I can check the app to see how my various systems are functioning. The input I get based on my DNA is fascinating.

I have a work environment that stretches my sleep patterns to their limits. Pangenea has helped me see what and where I need work to make sure I get the proper amount of rest."

Karen Balter, Dayton, OH, age 72

"I check the app frequently & try to increase steps, decrease calories, increase step based on results. I also saved readings for my doc to see. This last year my doctor said tracking my body temperature would be helpful because she thought my thyroid may be a new issue & having an extra low body temperature was another ( extra) symptom that shows constantly. Pangenea has validated when I have worked way too much because when I'm feeling so exhausted… I have checked the app & confirmed my VHR was showing I needed to take time to recover.

My Apple Watch tracked 2 things & a separate app tracked my sleep. The ring tells me a few more biofeedback items and all in one app. The readings seem very accurate. The Pangenea ring is very durable! I broke several Apple watches by accident. It also charges extra fast. Plus it stays charged a long time. Also it really is waterproof."

Brenda Wojtarowicz, Gulf Breeze, FL, age 58

"Other devices gave general information, that I knew was not being interpreted correctly by the devices or the apps. It was unbelievably frustrating. Pangenea understands that my quality of sleep is not recorded in hours, but in the length of deep sleep stages. Pangenea knew that I was dreaming and believed I was in a REM cycle and recorded it as such. I proved that my sleep is consistently nearly 45% deep sleep and that I am dreaming!"
Lisa Erickon, Helena, MT, age 61

"I was not sleeping long nor was I getting any deep sleep or REM sleep. I was told I was a restless sleeper and should get a weighted blanket to hold my legs steady. Since I was a night owl I needed to eliminate all sound and light sources to create late hours feeling and take a warm bath before bed. I now get deep and REM sleep!

I'm getting much better sleep and as a result much better health! I live in an assisted living facility where I get my bath three times a week. I'm finding that I have better sleep on my bath days than my non bath days!"

Mary Gardner Johnston, New Braunfels, TX, age 78

"The genetic insights hints at why I am a night owl and hate getting up early, and I have dramatically reduced my caffeine intake."
Aled Parry, Wales, age mid-fifties

"I've always been on high alert for any health issues that might arise. This wasn't great for my stress levels, especially since anxiety is a common state for me. Pangenea has been integral in shifting my mindset from a problem-based perspective, to affirming how healthy I actually am. This has eased my stress and significantly decreased my anxiety. I stopped obsessing over my anxiety, about my weight, and my general health. I hadn't any idea how much energy it took to constantly monitor and worry about my aging body!"
Cee M., Estes Park, CO, age 57

"Pangenea helped me make sense of poor sleep, weight struggle, low energy. Food changes improved. Blood pressure is much better where my meditation has made changes. Weight loss has been successful and has been kept off. Better workout with more comfort."
Elizabeth Dominge, Vancouver, BC, age 49

"Pangenea helped me understand my blood oxygen levels. I did not realize that feelings of tiredness were related to blood oxygen levels... Deep breathing would give me a lift. I have more energy, easing of depression."
Judy Taylor, Gresham, OR, age 73

"Makes it much easier to wear than bulky watches when you are a smaller sized person."
Jeff B., Wiarton, ON, age 61

"Before I got the Pangenea Ring, I experienced poor sleep more frequently than I liked. I am able now to review my week's sleep scores and align with various exercise classes and/or identify results from a stressful day. I like the tracking and it is easy enough to make the daily review of data a habit. I feel much better and now muscle soreness is likely to have a much smaller duration."
Pat W., The Woodlands, TX, age 71

"My family has a strong tendency to have high cholesterol & Pangenea has informed me that I should be careful of cardiac issues. Working on better sleep, working on having better control of my cholesterol level, and working on getting more steps in daily."
Judy U., age 69

"Honestly, I talk about Pangenea all the time because it's one of the first tools that made me feel like my data could tell a story instead of just generating numbers.

Sometimes it felt like the app was basically saying: 'Girl… HERE'S YOUR SIGN. 😄 '

Before, I often felt like I was reacting to my body instead of understanding it. I would push through stress, exhaustion, inflammation, poor recovery, or autonomic overload without realizing how far I'd already gone past my limits.

Tracking my physiologic patterns consistently helped me recognize early signs of stress accumulation, sympathetic activation, dehydration, poor recovery, and nervous system overload before reaching complete burnout. That awareness has helped me pace myself better, recover more intentionally, improve sleep habits, recognize triggers faster, and respond to my body with more accuracy instead of fear or frustration.

Most importantly, it helped me trust myself again."

Bethany Wesie, OH, age 40

"Pangenea linked my genetic results to the problems of poor sleep and stress. I am following the advice for better sleep and reduced stress, which in my case are very, very much linked."
Michael Holmwood, Vancouver, BC, age 81

FAQ

How does it work?

The Pangenea ring tracks your body's signals 24/7. You also take a one-time DNA test, which generates more than 300 genetic reports.

The Pangenea app combines this genetic information with your wearable data. Its algorithm delivers personalized tips and answers questions about your health and body.

Is it easy to use?

The ring takes only 2 steps and under 5 minutes to set up. The DNA test takes another 5 minutes, and the box it arrives in is already labeled for return shipping.

How does the ring feel for daily wear?

The Pangenea ring is designed for all-day and overnight comfort. It weighs less than many leading smart rings because it uses a flexible battery material. This reduces bulk without sacrificing battery life.

The ring is made from titanium, the world's most biocompatible metal. That means it does not cause allergic reactions and is commonly used in medical implants.

How often does it need charging?

The Pangenea ring lasts up to seven days on a single charge. It fully charges in about one hour.

The portable charging case can recharge the ring up to five times before it needs to be plugged in.

What happens if the ring gets damaged?

Titanium is as strong as stainless steel and naturally scratch resistant. It is also fully corrosion resistant and unaffected by oils or residue on your skin.

You can purchase an optional two- or three-year hardware warranty. It covers damage, water exposure, battery performance issues, and manufacturing defects. Pangenea covers replacement shipping both ways.

Is my information secure?

Genetic and wellness data is personal. Pangenea uses strict boundaries around how information is stored, used, and accessed.

Pangenea does not sell user data. Employees cannot access personal information, and all internal data is anonymized for statistical use only. Biometric data is stored on the user's device, and DNA samples are destroyed after analysis.

Do I need a DNA test to use it?

You can purchase the Pangenea ring on its own without taking a DNA test.

The ring alone delivers full health and fitness tracking, including heart rate, sleep patterns, body temperature, and more. What it does not include is DNA-based AI insights.

The greatest value comes from combining the Pangenea ring with a DNA test and Pangenea AI.

What data does it track?

Pangenea tracks sleep stages (REM, deep, and light), resting heart rate and heart rate variability (HRV), body temperature, blood oxygen (SpO₂), respiratory rate, activity and calories, and stress and recovery.

How do subscriptions work?

Your first year of Pangenea is included with the base purchase. After that, access to AI and DNA integration costs $129 per year.

If you choose not to renew, you will still keep full access to all ring tracking features.

Is this a medical device?

No. Pangenea is not a medical device or a diagnostic tool. The insights provided are not medical advice.
