Ultrahuman has returnedto the United States. The well-known Oura Ring rival had been absent from the American market since October due to an intellectual property conflict but has now received approval from US Customs and Border Protection.
As WIRED published in August, the US International Trade Commission had previously sided with Oura in a patent infringement lawsuit against its rivals, Ringconn and Ultrahuman. This verdict was a considerable reverse for Bengaluru, India-based Ultrahuman, which had established a production facility in Plano, Texas, to circumvent tariffs. Ringconn secured a royalties agreement with Oura, while Ultrahuman withdrew its Ring Air from the US market and subsequently filed a counter-claim.
Currently, the smart ring manufacturer is staking its resurgence on its newly introduced Ring Pro.

The new equipment features a re-engineered heart rate sensor and a dual-core processor for machine learning, and it can retain your wellness data on the device for a maximum of 250 days (in contrast, the Oura will only store your data for a single week). Perhaps its most compelling advantage is that, unlike Oura, Ultrahuman does not demand a subscription fee to access fundamental health indicators. Instead, Ultrahuman provides essential functionalities without cost, even encompassing certain enhanced tools known as PowerPlugs. These include features such as ovulation tracking, alongside guidance regarding aspects like the optimal timing for caffeine ingestion and methods to maximize vitamin D assimilation from solar exposure.
Some other PowerPlugs, however, entail an additional charge. These comprise features like AFib identification, observation of respiratory health, analyses of migraines, GLP-1 tracking, and integrated psychological well-being assistance in partnership with BetterHelp.
