Penis ring is the first ever wearable “erection tracker” that can detect if you’re at risk of diseases

A RING worn around the penis could help men figure out what’s causing their erectile dysfunction, and could even signal a deadly disease.
It’s the first ever modern wearable “erection tracker” that gives clues into a man’s health.

Erections - or lack of them - can indicate a number of physical and mental health problems.
More often than not men who suffer with erectile dysfunction struggle to work out why, further causing emotional or relationship stress.
But while it’s easy to assume erections are a signal of libido or bedroom performance, they in fact reveal a lot more about men’s health, especially as they get older.
The Adam Sensor, made by Adam Health, is attached to the base of the penis with a band and worn overnight. It is comfortable to wear under pajamas and is almost unnoticeable, the creators say.
It counts how many erections a man has during his sleep.
Night time erections indicate the erection mechanism is in check - even if it does not work once they are between the sheets.
Healthy men have an average of three to five erections per night, lasting up to three hours in total, the NHS says.
It’s not clear entirely why this happens, but some experts say this is the body’s way to keep the erection mechanism healthy, by keeping blood pumping into the erectile tissue.
