Ultrahuman unveiled a new smart ring on Friday. The Ring Pro is the Bengaluru-based wearable maker’s third-generation device, featuring a longer battery life and a redesigned form factor. This launch is part of an effort to revive its U.S. business, which was disrupted last year by a patent dispute with rival Oura.
The Ring Pro offers up to 15 days of battery life, a significant increase over the four to six days provided by its predecessor, the Ring Air. It is priced at $479. The ring will be available for preorders globally, though not in the United States, with shipments starting in March.
Ultrahuman’s U.S. operations were impacted in October 2025 after the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in Oura’s favor in a patent case. This ruling prevented the startup from importing new ring inventory into the country, though existing retail stock could still be sold. The disruption was substantial, as the U.S. accounted for about 45% of Ultrahuman’s roughly 700,000 daily active users worldwide, according to co-founder and CEO Mohit Kumar.
In August 2025, Ultrahuman filed a separate patent infringement case against Oura in the Delhi High Court, where the matter remains pending. To work around Oura’s patent, Ultrahuman developed the Ring Pro with a new design. Kumar stated the device has been submitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for clearance to confirm it can legally be imported.
Despite the challenges in the U.S., Ultrahuman is currently operating at an annualized revenue run rate of about $150 million. It reported $64 million in operating revenue for the financial year ended March 2025. The startup remains profitable after tax, though margins are expected to narrow due to litigation costs, tariffs, and the redesign effort.
Alongside the new ring, Ultrahuman introduced Jade, a real-time “biointelligence” system. Jade analyzes user health data across Ultrahuman’s devices and services to generate personalized insights and recommendations. Kumar said Jade is designed to move beyond retrospective health summaries toward real-time, actionable guidance. He noted that most AI tools today look backward at data, but Jade is built to react to health in real time. Jade will be available to all Ultrahuman users, including those with the older Ring Air, and does not currently require a subscription.
The Ring Pro itself features a redesigned heart-rate sensing architecture for improved signal quality during sleep and a new dual-core processor to enhance data accuracy and on-device computing. It can store up to 250 days of health data and weighs about 5% to 6% more than the Ring Air, which launched in July 2023 at $349.
Ultrahuman has also introduced a Pro Charger with up to 45 days of battery life to support on-the-go charging. This charger enables faster updates and diagnostics through direct case connectivity and supports wireless charging via the Qi standard used by most modern smartphones.
Women account for about 68% of Ultrahuman’s user base, up from roughly 65% a year earlier, reflecting strong adoption of the startup’s women’s health features.
Ultrahuman offers subscription-based services across its broader health platform, including a coaching and recovery program called PowerPlugs, the Blood Vision metabolic panel, Ultrahuman Home, and a continuous glucose monitoring offering. Subscriptions contribute about 16% of revenue, while Blood Vision accounts for roughly 5% to 6% of the business.
The company’s key growth markets include the U.K., Canada, Australia, and India. Kumar noted that India contributes about 8% to 9% of overall revenue following recent investments in local customer support.
Industry data shows strong growth in the smart ring category. Global shipments grew nearly 80% year-over-year in 2025, driven by demand for compact wearables with advanced sleep tracking and longer battery life. Oura continues to lead with more than two-thirds of the market, while Ultrahuman holds the second position. Analysts state that future leaders will be defined by sensor accuracy, AI-driven insights, and seamless ecosystem integration.
Separate data showed global smart ring shipments rising about 30% year over year in the third quarter of 2025 to nearly 1 million units, driven partly by demand for screenless fitness trackers. Ultrahuman captured roughly 25% of the market during that period.
Founded in 2019, Ultrahuman has raised about $55 million to date from investors including Alpha Wave Incubation, Blume Ventures, Steadview Capital, and Nexus Venture Partners. The company is building additional production capacity to support demand for the Ring Pro in the coming months.
