Ultrahuman launches Ring Pro with longer battery life as it awaits U.S. customs clearance after patent dispute with Oura halted American sales.
Bengaluru : Ultrahuman on Friday launched a new smart ring to grow its business again. The company wants to sell in the United States again after a legal problem stopped sales last year.
The Ring Pro is the company’s third smart ring. It has battery life of up to 15 days and costs $479. People can order it all over the world except in the U.S. The company wants to know if it can sell this new ring in America.
Last year a fight about patents started. Patents are special legal rights for an idea or invention. The U.S. International Trade Commission supported Oura’s patents. Ultrahuman could not bring new rings into the United States after that.
The company’s U.S. sales problem hurt a lot. About 45% of Ultrahuman’s daily users are in the United States. This means about 315,000 people who use the ring daily live there.
During this problem the company made money at a rate of $150 million per year. In the 12 months before March 2025 it made $64 million. The company says it has profit after taxes but the numbers will get smaller because of court costs and making the new ring.
The company also made a new system called Jade. Jade looks at all the health information from Ultrahuman’s devices. It makes quick suggestions for people to stay healthy. This works on the new ring and on the older ring. People do not need to pay extra to use it.
The new ring is better at reading heart rate during sleep. It has a faster computer inside and can store health information for 250 days. It weighs a little more than the last ring. The company also made a new charger that can charge the ring for up to 45 days.
Most people who use Ultrahuman are women. About 68% of users are women. This number went up from 65% last year. The company thinks this shows how much people like the new women’s health features.
Besides rings Ultrahuman sells other health services. These include coaching,a way to check blood sugar, and devices for homes. These extra services make about 16% of the company’s money.
The company does business in Britain, Canada, Australia and India. India gives about 8% to 9% of total money this year. The company put more people in India to help customers.
Smart rings are becoming more popular. Last year more people bought them. They liked the small size and the long battery life. Oura is still the biggest company in smart rings. Ultrahuman is number two.
Next year companies will make better sensors and add new features. Customers will want rings that work with other devices at home or phone apps.
In one three-month period Ultrahuman sold about 250 000 rings. This was about 25% of all smart rings sold then.
The company started in 2019. It got $55 million from people who want to help new companies grow. They believe Ultrahuman will keep improving its products.
