Wellness and safety.
This document forms part of the Terms and Conditions of Atom Research (“we” or “us”), which sells Halo under the Atomic brand. Please read it before using Halo.
Last updated 14 November 2026
Part A: Wellness disclaimer
Halo is a consumer wellness ring, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, monitor or prevent any disease or condition. In an emergency, call 1122 immediately. Do not wait for or rely on a reading from Halo.
1.1 Purpose. Halo and Atomic OS are for general wellness, fitness and lifestyle purposes only. They have not been registered, evaluated or approved as a medical device by DRAP or any other authority.
1.2 Estimates only. Heart rate, HRV, estimated SpO2, skin temperature, sleep, activity and scores are estimates from consumer-grade sensors and algorithms, not clinical measurements. Fit, movement, circulation, skin tone, tattoos, temperature, battery and software can all affect them. Halo has no ECG, cannot detect any condition (including heart rhythm disorders, low blood oxygen, sleep apnoea, fever or infection) and issues no medical alerts. A normal reading does not mean you are healthy, and an unusual one does not mean something is wrong.
1.3 No medical advice. Nothing from Halo, Atomic OS, AI Coach, our website, social media or support is medical or other professional advice. We are not a healthcare provider and no doctor-patient relationship exists. Any reference to doctors or advisers in connection with Atom Research or Atomic does not mean Halo is clinically validated or endorsed for medical use. AI Coach is automated software, not a professional, and may be wrong.
1.4 Consult a doctor about any health concern, and before using Halo or acting on it if you are pregnant, have a heart, circulatory, respiratory, sleep or other medical condition, have an implanted medical device such as a pacemaker, or have a metal or skin sensitivity. Never start, stop or change any medication, treatment, diet or exercise, or delay seeking advice, because of anything Halo shows. Halo must not be used in place of any device a doctor has recommended.
Part B: Safety information
2.1 Remove the ring immediately if your finger swells, tingles, becomes numb, discoloured or painful, or the ring feels tight. Seek medical help if needed.
2.2 Remove the ring before medical procedures and imaging (including MRI, CT and X-ray), heavy lifting, using tools or machinery, climbing, contact sports or any activity where it could catch, as this can cause serious finger injury.
2.3 Skin. Stop wearing Halo if you notice redness, itching or a rash, and see a doctor if it persists. Keep the ring and skin clean and dry.
2.4 Children and pets. Keep the ring, charger and sizing kit away from them. Small parts present a choking hazard.
2.5 Water and heat. Halo is water resistant only to its stated rating. Do not use it in hot water, saunas, steam rooms, high-velocity water or for diving, or expose it to extreme temperatures. Water resistance reduces over time and after impact.
2.6 Battery and charging. Halo has a built-in lithium-ion battery. Do not open, puncture, crush, heat or modify it. Charge only with the supplied case and cable from a certified USB source, on a dry, non-flammable surface, and never while wearing it. Stop using Halo and contact us if it becomes hot, swells, smells or is damaged. Dispose of it through an electronic waste collection point, never in fire or household waste.
2.7 Wireless. Halo uses Bluetooth. Follow any restrictions on wireless devices in aircraft, hospitals and similar places.
