The Ultrahuman Ring (the Ring Air, plus the Ring Pro that brought a global roughly $349-to-$399 launch around February 2026 with 15-day battery; from Ultrahuman, founded 2019 in Bengaluru by CEO Mohit Kumar and co-founder Vatsal Singhal, with a Plano, Texas factory) is the market-access-redesigned archetype of the ring sub-cohort. Its AI comes via modular 'PowerPlugs' (metabolic and cardio adaptability, circadian rhythm, caffeine window, AFib, cycle), with no mandatory subscription for core tracking and some premium PowerPlugs paid (AFib at about $4.90/month); AFib detection runs through the third-party FibriCheck app, not a native FDA clearance. The within-entity verified-vs-claimed exemplar is market access, not the product: US market access was blocked on October 21, 2025 under Oura's ITC patent ruling (US Patent 11,868,178), then restored on March 24, 2026 when the Ring Pro's unibody redesign cleared US Customs, a company-availability story that parallels the Apple Watch's disabled-then-restored blood-oxygen feature. The product and AI existed globally throughout; only US market access was interrupted. Price is about $349 (Air) to $399 (Pro), subscription-augmented.

Privacy

Privacy practices disclosed by Ultrahuman for Ultrahuman Ring (Air / Pro), with verification status.

  • Data retentionverified

    Ultrahuman is an Indian company, so your biometric data is governed by India's data protection law, not GDPR or US law. The cross-border transfer rules under that law are still being finalized, which may limit your enforcement options compared to using Oura or Apple.

  • Cloud uploadverified

    Ultrahuman markets on-device AI, but the Readiness Score and coaching actually require cloud sync and are computed server-side. The ring buffers about six days of raw data locally as a backup, not as private local computation.

  • Third-party sharingverified

    Ultrahuman has published no transparency report disclosing government data requests, unlike Apple, Google, and Meta which publish regular counts. Users have no way to audit what data has been shared with authorities.

Specs

notes
  • Verified: Ultrahuman (founded 2019, Bengaluru; co-founders Mohit Kumar + Vatsal Singhal, ex-Runnr) makes the Ring Air + Ring Pro. Series B $35M at ~$125M valuation (Mar 2024; Blume/Steadview/Nexus/Alpha Wave + Zomato's Deepinder Goyal). Strong India-market base + global availability. maturity=commercial / scaling. CORRECTION: co-founder is Vatsal SINGHAL (not 'Vatsal Kumar').
  • ITC EXEMPLAR (company-availability-scope disabled pattern): Oura's ITC case (337-TA-1398, Patent 11,868,178 - a layered internal-component structure): final determination ~Aug 22 2025 (announced Sept 9), upheld - all asserted claims valid + infringed by Ultrahuman; LIMITED EXCLUSION ORDER + cease-and-desist; effective Oct 21 2025 after the 60-day Presidential review (no veto). Ultrahuman appealed to the Federal Circuit (filed ~Oct 22 2025); BOTH the ITC + Federal Circuit DENIED the emergency stay; appeal on the merits PENDING. This is a verified-vs-claimed exemplar at COMPANY-AVAILABILITY scope (product + AI exist + ship globally; US market access legally BLOCKED for the Ring Air).
  • US re-entry (corrects the 'Texas-made' framing): Ultrahuman re-entered the US NOT via Texas-made Ring Airs but via a REDESIGNED Ring Pro: its unibody metal architecture was engineered so the '178 patent does not apply; the Ring Pro cleared US Customs (CBP) ~Mar 24 2026 and reopened US pre-orders ($349-399). Record: Ring Air = US-EXCLUDED (active order, appeal pending); Ring Pro = US-AVAILABLE (redesigned).
  • FDA + cap-flag: AFib detection is powered by third-party FDA-cleared FibriCheck tech (the ALGORITHM VENDOR holds the clearance, not Ultrahuman's ring), gated behind a paid plug; the ring is otherwise general-wellness. 'Ultrahuman ring is FDA-approved' headlines OVERSTATE it. NOT verified: cumulative ~$103M / ~$120M WestBridge raise (aggregator/'in talks' - only $35M/$125M Series B firm); self-published validation studies are vendor-run, not independent clearance.
