- Ultrahuman launched FDA-approved AFib detection on its finger-based Ring Air, beating others to this powerful health feature.
- The new tool is part of a broader app store/service called PowerPlugs.
- The company has opened its APIs to developers to further expand the Ultrahuman Ring Air user experience.
Today, Ultrahuman announced a few key features headed to its flagship smart ring, the Ultrahuman Ring Air. Most notably, the ring now boasts AFib detection, an advanced health feature not currently found on any other smart ring. Utilizing the device’s PPG sensor to monitor users’ heart rates overnight for signs of irregularity, Ultrahuman gained FDA approval for AFib detection ahead of both the Samsung Galaxy Ring and the Oura Ring 3.
AFib detection has become a popular tool on many leading smartwatches. On wrist-based wearables, the feature is typically housed within an ECG app that also offers on-demand recordings. The Ultrahuman Ring Air does not have an ECG app, but users can leverage the ring’s nonintrusive tracking to monitor their heart health for signs of AFib.
