Ultrahuman is expanding its ecosystem of health tracking technology with the recent launch of the Ultrahuman Ring Pro and the Ultrahuman Photon (a red light therapy device). To improve the experience even more, the company has completely overhauled its app with the Ultrahuman Emerald update, making stat tracking more accurate and insights more useful.
This update adds Ultra-Sphere to the app, which is a kind of digital mood ring – an orb that changes color and gives you instant feedback on how you’re doing. Dark green means you’re thriving, while amber suggests you slow down and recharge.
The Ultra-Sphere is a key part of the Emerald update of the Ultrahuman app
Color is just part of it – the orb also gives you one-word advice on what to do next, for example it’ll say “Hydrate”, prompting you to drink some water. This at-a-glance suggestion is supported in more detail in the “Next best actions” list below.
Advice is calculated based on 60 biomarkers and data points – information collected from sleep, recovery, HRV, skin temperature, motion, stress and glucose tracking (the latter requires M2 Live) over the past 7 days. It’s important to note that this is not a cloud-based feature, instead the algorithm works on your phone and can be used offline and off-grid.
Additionally, the app’s advice is adjusted according to your profile – are you an athlete, a parent, are you jet-lagged, do you work night shifts, etc.
The app tracks a rich set of health data to measure your condition
Ultrahuman is also releasing a firmware update for its rings that improves the accuracy of heart rate tracking and includes a major change in the way it calculates VO2 Max.

You can use many other tools besides the Ultrahuman Ring
The app can use other devices besides the Ring — it can collect health data from your Apple Watch, Whoop Band, Polar and Garmin devices, as well as chest strap heart rate monitors. It can also use your AirPods.
