Ultrahuman launches redesigned Ring Pro with 15-day battery to reclaim U.S. market after patent clash with Oura, introduces AI-powered Jade for real-time health insights.
Ultrahuman has launched its third-generation smart ring, the Ring Pro, featuring a redesigned form factor and extended battery life of up to 15 days—up from four to six days on its previous model, the Ring Air. Priced at $479, the Ring Pro will be available for pre-order globally, excluding the United States, with shipments set to begin in March. The company is betting on the new device to re-enter the U.S. market, which was effectively blocked last year due to a patent dispute with rival Oura. In October 2025, the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in Oura’s favor, prohibiting Ultrahuman from importing new inventory into the country. Although existing stock continued to be sold, the restriction dealt a major blow. The U.S. market accounted for about 45% of Ultrahuman’s roughly 700,000 daily active users worldwide, according to co-founder and CEO Mohit Kumar. To comply with the ruling, Ultrahuman redesigned the Ring Pro with a new sensor architecture and form factor, which has been submitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for clearance. The company is also pursuing a separate patent infringement case against Oura in India’s Delhi High Court, which remains pending. Despite the U.S. setback, Ultrahuman continues to operate with an annualized revenue run rate of about $150 million, reporting $64 million in operating revenue for the fiscal year ending March 2025. The company remains profitable after tax, though margins are expected to narrow due to litigation expenses, tariffs, and the costs of redesigning the product. Alongside the Ring Pro, Ultrahuman introduced Jade, a real-time biointelligence system that analyzes health data across its ecosystem to deliver immediate, personalized insights. Unlike most AI tools that analyze past data, Jade is designed to react in real time and recommend actionable steps to improve health, Kumar said. The system will be available to all users, including those with older Ring Air devices, and does not require a subscription. The Ring Pro includes a new dual-core processor for better data accuracy and on-device processing, stores up to 250 days of health data, and weighs about 5% to 6% more than the Ring Air. Ultrahuman also unveiled the Pro Charger, which offers up to 45 days of battery life, supports direct case connectivity for faster diagnostics and updates, and includes Qi wireless charging compatibility. Women make up about 68% of Ultrahuman’s user base—up from 65% a year ago—highlighting strong adoption of its women’s health features. The company generates revenue through subscriptions, including its PowerPlugs coaching and recovery program, Blood Vision metabolic panel, Ultrahuman Home, and continuous glucose monitoring service. Subscriptions contribute around 16% of revenue, while Blood Vision accounts for 5% to 6%. Key growth markets include the UK, Canada, Australia, and India, where Ultrahuman now generates 8% to 9% of its revenue following recent investments in local customer support. Global smart ring shipments grew nearly 80% year-over-year in 2025, driven by demand for long-lasting, sleep-focused wearables. According to Counterpoint Research, Oura leads with over two-thirds of the market, followed by Ultrahuman in second place. IDC reported that shipments rose about 30% year-over-year in Q3 2025, reaching nearly 1 million units, with Ultrahuman capturing roughly 25% of the market during that period. Founded in 2019, Ultrahuman has raised about $55 million from investors including Alpha Wave Incubation, Blume Ventures, Steadview Capital, and Nexus Venture Partners. The company is expanding production capacity to meet anticipated demand for the Ring Pro.
