A NEW GENERATION OF WATCHES.
AN EVOLUTION OF ONE OF THE FIRST PRESSURE-BASED BLOOD PRESSURE SMARTWATCHES WITH SENSOR TECHNOLOGY FROM OSRAM IN GERMANY!
Right at the start of the year, Kardena® presents the CARE Air 2, the new masterpiece from the health innovation workshop in Bonn. The sales launch of the watch was brought forward to 01.01.2024 because demand for our already sold-out CARE Air 1 over several months was unexpectedly high.
What makes the Air model series so special?
Our Air model series is particularly distinguished by the micro-airbag on the wrist, which can be attached beneath the strap. As a result, the strap inflates and can better detect blood pressure in the arteries.
We use the same principle as your regular blood pressure monitor, which is usually placed on the upper arm to record blood pressure. This results in a significantly higher precision compared to ordinary fitness trackers or competitor smartwatches.
Germany, USA, and Taiwan: The CARE Air 2 is a collaboration between some of the world’s largest and most advanced sensor and chip manufacturers.
What role does the German sensor manufacturer OSRAM play in the CARE Air 2?
Our high-precision sensors are exclusively from OSRAM, a renowned German traditional company with a production site in Regensburg. The sensor used, SFH2703, a further development of the SFH2701 from our CARE Air 1, forms the basis for the precise analysis of blood data.
The OSRAM SFH2703 sensors set new standards, non-invasively analyzing blood flow in the top 4 mm of your skin using 680 and 750 nanometer wavelengths as well as 910 nm infrared. At this point, the Kardena® CARE Air 2 stands out significantly from competitors, who often use only a single wavelength and only measure pulse, while other values are estimated.
The OSRAM technology enables an extremely precise measurement of blood oxygen levels, allowing even respiratory rate to be detected. Thanks to the configurable interval, values are automatically recorded throughout the day and can be accessed directly on the watch as a trend chart.
Do Asian companies also play a role in manufacturing the CARE Air 2?
We have imposed the highest standards on ourselves in the manufacturing of our excellence watches. In addition to renowned sensor manufacturers from Europe and leading chip manufacturers from the USA, we also integrate high-quality components from Asia.
Taiwan, in particular, is known for TSMC, the largest semiconductor manufacturer worldwide. This giant not only shapes the Taiwanese economy but also supports our watch production with its extensive microchip and processor know-how.
The manufacturer of our 3-axis motion sensor in the CARE Air 2 is the respected company Sensortek Technology Corp. from Taiwan. The motion sensor STK8321 has a crucial role in detecting sleep apnea as part of the advanced sleep analysis and is optimally tuned to the latest software of the watch. This ensures precise and effective use of the motion sensor to provide you with the best possible health information.
Are there further improvements inside the CARE Air 2 case compared to its predecessor?
In partnership with Realtek Semiconductor Corp., we have successfully integrated the cutting-edge new generation Bluetooth chip, the Realtek 8762DW, into the CARE Air 2. This advanced chip supports a wide range of Bluetooth protocols and stands out for low power consumption, high data transfer rates, and reliable wireless connectivity.
As part of the Realtek Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) product family, the Realtek 8762DW is designed to enable efficient wireless communication in battery-powered devices. This innovative technology significantly optimizes the CARE Air 2’s connection range and power usage, even with up to 2,000 health measurements per day!
OSRAM, Texas Instruments, Sensortek, and Realtek – but what is Kardena’s role?
Kardena considers itself the link between you and the large corporations. We consider ourselves an innovative pioneer from Germany whose mission is to unite the best components in the world to help people who want effective health monitoring without much effort to make that possible.
Alongside coordinating many manufacturing steps, we focus mainly on the creation and optimization of the software — both for the watch and the corresponding app. Our team of IT experts works hand in hand to keep our watch apps up to date, to take customer requests into consideration, and soon to launch an own app based on improvement suggestions and ideas from our customers.
More Precision, Less Worries
Experience ultimate comfort and convenience with our innovative CARE Air 2, which features a soft and ergonomically shaped micro-airbag. Our CARE Air 2 uses the same technology as electronic blood pressure monitors. The unique airbag integrates seamlessly with the watch, providing a snug and secure fit that feels like a second skin. The micro-airbag can be freely adjusted, ensuring optimum comfort and stability all day long.
-

Health Watch with Innovative Airbag Technology
The health watch by Kardena® represents a miniaturized blood pressure monitor for the wrist, equipped with a wide range of automated features. In a short time, it has become the market leader in Germany.
In brief: The CARE Air 2 combines artificial intelligence and top German technology, right on your wrist.
Fully Equipped Health Watch
Thanks to its innovative airbag technology, a micro-airbag integrated into the wristband is inflated by the watch in just 20 seconds. The blood pressure is then displayed on the health watch’s screen. The fully automatic synchronization with the smartphone app makes separate documentation of blood pressure and heart rate unnecessary.
Additionally, the Kardena® CARE Air 2 offers all the functions you expect from a modern fitness smartwatch, including respiration rate, blood pressure measurement, direct measurement of blood oxygen, body temperature, pulse, sleep, steps, and more. Up to three external people can access the data via an integrated online care function, such as family members or caregivers.

Artificial Intelligence on the Wrist for Greater Protection
The outstanding accuracy and precision of the Kardena® CARE Air 2 are ensured by the SFH2703, a proven multi-oximeter sensor from OSRAM, a global company headquartered in Munich. This special technology was independently developed by OSRAM for watches at its Regensburg site.
The innovative OSRAM airbag technology enables extremely precise measurement of blood oxygen levels, allowing for respiration rate to be recorded as well. Thanks to the configurable interval, the values are recorded automatically throughout the day and can be called up directly in the Kardena® CARE Air 2 app as trend charts.

More security with alarm functions for temperature and pulse!
Another exclusive feature of the Kardena® CARE Air 2 is the automated body temperature monitoring via the integrated Sensyling Sensor CT1711 ARRAY, with a daily trend chart also available in the app.
Custom alarm functions can be set to indicate a threshold for body temperature and fever or for elevated heart rate. The 3-axis motion sensor from Sensortek Technology Corp. enables the logging of activities, including sleep and steps.
The second-generation health watch is suitable both for self-care and for care functions — especially with regard to making health data available to family members, regardless of their physical distance from the wearer.
The health watch also features a comprehensive range of smartwatch functions, including the display of incoming calls, receiving messages via various messengers like social media, SMS, and WhatsApp, as well as a step counter and reminder function.

Perfect fit: Kardena® CARE Air 2 with care function
The available wristbands for the Kardena® CARE Air 2 have a standard width of 22 mm and fit wrist sizes up to 26 cm. Kardena customers can choose from about a dozen straps and two watch displays. Strap materials range from TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) in blue, red, and black to vegan leather in light brown, dark brown, and black, and elegant metal or Milanese straps in black or silver with magnetic clasps.
All text on the health watch display and in the app is exclusively in German. Thanks to the stable-view, bright IPS display, the watch is clearly readable in all situations. Operation is easy via familiar swipe gestures from smartphones directly on the IPS display.
The Kardena® CARE Air 2, at only 13 mm thick, features an optimal unisex design and with a diameter of approx. 47 mm is equally suitable for both women and men. The package includes the German-language app with future updates as well as licenses for up to three additional users for external use in care functions.
Technical Details with Innovative Airbag Technology
The Kardena® CARE Air 2 defines itself as a groundbreaking smartwatch on the market and stands out with innovative Kardena® micro-airbag technology, a revolutionary innovation. Six small airbags in the wristband generate the necessary pressure for blood pressure measurement on the wrist.
The miniature compressor that enables this process comes from Japan. The oximetry-based measurement of pulse, blood oxygen, and blood pressure is enabled by specially developed sensors from OSRAM at the Regensburg plant. This German sensor technology is considered world-leading in blood pressure measurement, heart rate monitoring, and care functions.
The health watch equipped with multi-pulse oximetry and a 3-axis sensor for sleep, steps, and sports presents itself as a powerful health and vitality watch that we recommend for health monitoring for everyone over the age of 40.
