Russell Wilson and Ciara Join Wearable Health Brand QALO as Co-Owners and Investors.

Wearable health technology company QALO is entering a new chapter with the addition of two high-profile partners. The company has announced that Russell Wilson, Super Bowl champion quarterback, entrepreneur, and CBS Sports analyst, and Ciara, multi-platinum, GRAMMY-winning artist and entrepreneur, have joined the brand as co-owners and investors.

The partnership represents more than a celebrity endorsement. According to QALO, Wilson and Ciara will work closely with the company’s leadership team as it continues evolving from its roots as a silicone ring pioneer into a broader wearable health technology platform focused on performance, wellness, and actionable health insights.

From Silicone Rings to Wearable Health Technology

Since its launch in 2013, QALO has served more than 2.2 million customers, building a reputation through products designed for people with active and demanding lifestyles.

Today, the company is expanding beyond its original product category with a growing portfolio of wearable devices. Its SR-2 Smart Ring and recently introduced SL-1 Smart Band offer consumers different ways to access the same health ecosystem. Users can wear either device or switch between both while maintaining a continuous profile that tracks:

Sleep
Recovery
Stress
Activity levels

All of this data flows into a unified platform without requiring a subscription model.

According to the company, its wearable user base has grown by more than 400% year over year, reflecting increased consumer interest in flexible, lower-cost approaches to personal health monitoring.

Shared Focus on Performance and Wellness

For Russell Wilson, the partnership aligns with his long-standing commitment to performance and recovery. Throughout his professional career, Wilson has emphasized the importance of understanding how the body performs and recovers, both on and off the field.

He noted that proactive health management can positively impact every aspect of life, from athletic performance to parenting and everyday activities. By providing real-time health information, QALO's platform aims to help users make informed decisions about recovery, nutrition, and overall wellness.

Making Wellness More Accessible

For Ciara, the appeal lies in the platform’s ability to fit naturally into busy lifestyles. As a performer, entrepreneur, and mother, she emphasized the importance of prioritizing health despite competing demands on time and energy.

She believes wearable technology can help individuals better understand what their bodies need while making health monitoring more accessible and intuitive. Her involvement as both co-owner and investor reflects a desire to help shape the future of consumer wellness technology.

Growing a Platform for Everyday Life

According to Jake Curreri, CEO of QALO, Wilson and Ciara bring a unique combination of experience across performance, business, family, and culture. Their investment signals confidence in the company's mission to deliver meaningful health insights to a broader audience rather than limiting advanced wellness tools to elite athletes or premium customers.

The couple’s involvement also supports QALO’s broader vision that health technology should adapt to real life, rather than requiring users to change their routines around a device.

Expanding Wearable Health Into the Mainstream

As wearable technology continues to gain traction, QALO is positioning itself at the intersection of health, performance, technology, and lifestyle. With the addition of Russell Wilson and Ciara as co-owners and investors, the brand gains influential partners who understand the value of wellness, recovery, and long-term health optimization.

Together, they aim to help bring health insights and wearable technology to a wider audience, empowering more people to take a proactive approach to their well-being while supporting QALO’s continued growth in the rapidly evolving health-tech market.
