Ultrahuman has unveiled its latest flagship wearable, the Ring Pro, which boasts an impressive 15-day battery life and introduces a sophisticated new AI platform named Jade. This third-generation smart ring represents a significant leap forward for the company’s health monitoring ecosystem, offering users extended tracking capabilities and advanced data insights. The device is designed to provide continuous, long-term health monitoring without the frequent recharging required by many competitors.
A major selling point is the substantial battery improvement over the previous model, the Ring Air. While that device typically lasted between four to six days, the Ring Pro extends that to a full two weeks on a single charge. It also stores up to 250 days of health history directly on the device. Other hardware enhancements include a redesigned heart-rate sensor for better accuracy during sleep, a faster dual-core processor, and safety features that allow for easier removal in emergency situations.
Accompanying the ring is a new Pro Charging Case, which acts as both a power bank and a data hub. This case can provide an additional 45 days of battery life and stores a full year’s worth of ring data. It includes several convenient features: a built-in speaker and proximity tracker for locating the ring via the app, wireless charging capability, and an LED light bar that clearly displays the remaining battery level.
The Ring Pro is available for preorder starting today at a price of $479. It comes in four finishes, gold, silver, black, and titanium, and in a wide range of sizes from 5 to 14. The device will have global availability, with shipments beginning in March. However, due to ongoing patent disputes, the ring will not be sold in the United States at this time.
Simultaneously, Ultrahuman is rolling out its Jade AI platform upgrade to all users worldwide, including those in the U.S. The company describes Jade as the world’s first real-time biointelligence AI. Its initial capabilities include generating personalized health insights and performing tasks like guided breathwork sessions and detecting signs of atrial fibrillation (AFib).
Looking ahead, Ultrahuman plans to expand Jade’s functionality significantly. Future updates aim to transform the AI into a proactive health agent that can alert users to potential concerns before they become serious. The long-term vision includes integrating with smart home systems to adjust environmental factors like temperature and even automating tasks such as food ordering based on the user’s physiological data. The company has not provided a specific timeline for these advanced features but emphasizes its goal of creating an autonomous system that works around the clock to enhance wellbeing.
