"Financial Graffiti" news, Indian fitness platform Ultrahuman will soon launch a wearable smart ring Ultrahuman Ring. The sensors embedded in the ring include temperature, heart rate and motion monitor, which can track the wearer's sleep. Quality, stress level and activity level.
Ultrahuman ring works with the company's existing wearable device, the glucose monitor (CGM) Cyborg, to monitor the relationship between blood sugar response and a lack of nightly sleep or elevated stress levels .
The company completed a US$7.6 million Series A financing in December 2020 and a US$17.5 million Series B financing in 2021.
In April this year, Ultrahuman acquired Lazyco, a wearable company, to expand the field of bio-wearable devices.
Ultrahuman CEO and co-founder Mohit Kumar said that Ultrahuman Ring as a standalone health tracker will give the company the opportunity to increase the appeal of metabolic tracking services. If the user of the ring also wears Ultrahuman’s blood glucose monitor CGM, then the ring The data collected by the sensors will be linked to real-time glucose levels, making an actionable link between glucose changes and triggers such as "high stress, poor sleep, low activity levels."
"The idea is to help you understand more about the additional factors in your metabolism." Many factors affect how the body metabolizes glucose, Kumar said, and large fluctuations in blood sugar can be linked to health problems such as diabetes and heart disease. The product platform will understand how far you should walk based on the user's personal metabolic rate and carbohydrate processing ability. Based on this, it will provide exercise suggestions, allowing users to choose a healthier diet and get enough sleep to stabilize glucose responses.
Ultrahuman believes that compared to other mature smart ring products, “optimizing metabolism” is the differentiated advantage of Ultrahuman Ring. Usually smart rings focus on health/fitness tracking, while Ultrahuman Ring is supported by glucose tracking data.
"Different platforms optimize for different things. Oura is optimizing for sleep. Whoop is optimizing for recovery. Ultrahuman Ring is optimizing for metabolism," Kumar said, U How ultrahuman captures data (using "more real-time" sensors) It is a unique technical element that differentiates it from competing smart ring manufacturers. , such as the way to establish data pointers, frequency, type of indicator, real-time temperature, etc., is more beneficial to metabolism than other wearable devices. .
Although the Ultrahuman Ring is equipped with many sensor components, at the hardware level, the smart ring does not provide direct feedback (such as vibration), but future products will add hardware functions such as tactile prompts or smart alarms.
Ultrahuman Ring will go on sale on July 7, priced at $299, with an early bird price of $249. It is currently available in different sizes and 4 colors.
