What the Ultrahuman Ring (Air / Pro) knows about you
Ultrahuman, founded in 2019 in Bengaluru, India by Mohit Kumar and Vatsal Singhal, both previously of Runnr, makes the Ring Air and the newer Ring Pro biometric smart rings, recorded in the biometric form factor, on a Series B of $35 million at roughly a $125 million valuation in March 2024 with a strong India-market base and global availability. Its rings pair heart-rate, heart-rate-variability, temperature, sleep, and recovery sensing with modular PowerPlugs for metabolic and circadian insights and a paid atrial-fibrillation plug, with no mandatory subscription for core tracking. It is the load-bearing verified-versus-claimed exemplar at company-availability scope: in Oura's International Trade Commission case over patent 11,868,178, a final determination around August 22, 2025 found all asserted claims valid and infringed by Ultrahuman, issuing a limited exclusion order and cease-and-desist orders that took effect on October 21, 2025 after the sixty-day Presidential review concluded without a veto, and Ultrahuman's appeal to the Federal Circuit is pending with its emergency stay denied by both the ITC and the court, so its Ring Air's US market access was legally blocked even though the product and its AI exist and ship globally. Ultrahuman re-entered the US not via Texas-made Ring Airs but via a redesigned Ring Pro whose unibody architecture is engineered so the patent does not apply, clearing US Customs around March 24, 2026 and reopening US pre-orders, so the Ring Air is recorded as US-excluded with an appeal pending while the Ring Pro is US-available. On FDA status, its atrial-fibrillation detection is powered by the third-party FDA-cleared FibriCheck software whose vendor holds the clearance rather than Ultrahuman's ring, gated behind a paid plug, so headlines calling the ring FDA-approved overstate it, and its cumulative funding figures beyond the verified Series B and its self-published validation studies are not independently verified. A correction worth recording: the co-founder is Vatsal Singhal, not Vatsal Kumar.

What it collects about you
The data this device picks up.
Your location
Collects precise GPS location every few seconds during runs for distance, pace, and route tracking, then stops when the run ends. You can opt out via your mobile device settings.
Your body data
Continuously collects heart rate, HRV, skin temperature, motion, steps, activity, and sleep stages, all encrypted at rest and in transit.
Where your data goes
Who else can see it once it leaves the device.
Sent to the cloud
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.
Shared with others
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.
Selling your data
Does not sell personal information and does not share it with third parties for them to market or advertise their own products.
Training their AI
Uses your health and activity data to develop machine learning models and improve its products. De-identified data may be kept longer than personally identifiable data.
What you can control
Your say over the data it holds.
How long they keep it
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.
Deleting your data
You can request deletion by contacting support@ultrahuman.com, and Ultrahuman says it will make every reasonable effort to comply. De-identified data may be kept indefinitely for research and statistics.
