After doing amazing things with their glucose-tracking subcutaneous patch, health tech startup Ultrahuman is looking to improve our way of life with a wearable that literally fits around your finger.
The company came to prominence with the M1, a simple patch you stuck on your arm that continuously monitored your blood sugar (CGM). Working much like the glucose test kits used by diabetic patients, this little patch was able to give constant real-time feedback on your glucose levels. You can literally see them increase after eating a donut and decrease after a moderate workout. The M1 was just a stepping stone for the company, which has much higher aspirations in health tech. The Ultrahuman Ring is able to track your metabolism and health by relying on an array of sensors that detect movement, temperature, and heart rate.

Backed by an all-powerful app that can process all that data, the Ring gives you valuable sets of metrics, including your Movement Index, Sleep Index, Recovery Score, and Heart Rate Variability. In short, it’s just a whimsical talk about how your lifestyle and choices affect your health, giving you information to make better choices in the future. Make the right choices and you can literally measure your progress. Step out of the way and the Ring gently nudges you back allowing you to see your scores stabilize. Combined with the M1 Patch, the Ring gives you insight into your health that no other product or tech ecosystem provides. No, not even your state-of-the-art smartwatch.
Movement Index – The Movement Index was formulated to help you understand your overall energy expenditure. The score is based on Metabolic Equivalent (MET) and depends on how much movement you do throughout the day rather than training for a specific length of the day.
Sleep Index – The Sleep Index is formulated to help you understand the different stages of sleep such as deep sleep, REM sleep, light sleep and awake.
Recovery Score – Get an understanding of your body’s current state with Recovery Score; it acts as a cue for your body. It is based on a combination of biometric data such as HRV, heart rate and body temperature throughout the day to help you better understand various body signals.
The Ultrahuman Ring is a rather sleek device that fits your finger, with a bold and minimalist design. Designed to look less like a wearable accessory and more like jewelry, the ring features a tungsten carbide coated titanium outer shell that boasts a beautiful metallic finish, beneath which sit the electronics of the ring , embedded in a hypoallergenic resin. This effectively makes the ring durable, comfortable, and water resistant up to 7 feet. The tungsten carbide coating on the outside is 5 times harder than tool steel (the type used in shop equipment), making your ring virtually impervious to scratches and dents.
Heart rate tracking, sleep tracking and motion tracking.
Beneath its tiny, fruit-loop-sized exterior is some impressive technology. The ring comes with a 6-axis motion sensor, a non-contact temperature sensor, a PPG sensor that detects heat rate, a Bluetooth Low Energy 5 module, and a battery that gives the ring nearly a week of use on a full charge. (although you may want to charge it during the day so it can track sleep at night).
The Ring sends data to its companion smartphone app (available for Android and iOS), which then calculates the numbers and presents you with information on how to better plan your life for better health, better sleep and better recovery. The magic is that you can see your metabolism stats in real time, being able to compare them to past stats. This allows you to effectively understand your body’s nutritional needs, sleep requirements, and exercise limits, giving you much more insightful control over your health.
