Ultrahuman Eyes Gesture Control For Future Rings With Qualcomm Boost
With $70 million of investment from companies including Qualcomm, the smart ring-maker is planning its nxt-gen AI wearables.
Ultrahuman, a smart ring company, is set to make a significant leap in the wearable technology market after securing $70 million in funding from Qualcomm Ventures, Labcorp, Alpha Wave, Blume and others. The Ultrahuman Ring, which has already outperformed its predecessors with improved battery life and eliminated the need for a subscription, aims to become a central component in an AI-driven ecosystem.
This investment will fuel the company's efforts to expand its product range, including future rings and AI-powered wearables. Ultrahuman's ultimate goal is to develop a ring that not only tracks day-time health metrics but also provides valuable insights into sleep and overall health during the night. This will be achieved through potential interoperability with devices like Meta Glasses, thanks to a partnership with Qualcomm.
Additionally, the funding will support Ultrahuman's Blood Vision blood-testing service, which focuses on preventative health through blood analysis. By partnering with Labcorp, Ultrahuman aims to make this service more accessible and mainstream. Quinn Li, a senior vice president at Qualcomm Technologies, has high hopes for Ultrahuman's innovative approach to personal AI devices, stating that the company is "pioneering a new generation of personal AI devices that make personalized insights effortless."
