Ultrahuman Launches Redesigned Smart Ring, Awaits US Clearance After Oura Patent Dispute

Ultrahuman unveiled its new smart ring, the Ring Pro, featuring extended battery life and a redesigned form factor, as the company works to re-enter the U.S. Market following a patent dispute with Oura. While not yet available for purchase in the U.S., the Ring Pro is available for pre-order globally (excluding the U.S.) with shipments beginning in March, priced at $479.

Patent Dispute and US Market Disruption

Ultrahuman’s U.S. Business faced disruption in October 2025 when the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) ruled in favor of Oura in a patent infringement case [Oura Blog]. This ruling prohibited Ultrahuman from importing new rings into the country, limiting sales to existing inventory. The U.S. Market represented approximately 45% of Ultrahuman’s 700,000 daily active users worldwide, according to co-founder and CEO Mohit Kumar [TechCrunch].

The Ring Pro: New Design and Features

To circumvent Oura’s patent, Ultrahuman developed the Ring Pro with a new design, which has been submitted to U.S. Customs and Border Protection for clearance [TechCrunch]. Key features of the Ring Pro include:

  • Extended Battery Life: Up to 15 days on a single charge, compared to four to six days for the Ring Air.
  • Charging Case: Provides an additional 45 days of battery life.
  • Wireless Charging: Supports Qi wireless charging and USB-C.
  • Increased Data Storage: Stores health data for up to 250 days.
  • Redesigned Heart Rate Sensor: Aims to provide more accurate data.
  • Dual-Core Processor: Offers improved performance.
  • Pro Release Technology: Allows the ring to be easily cut off in case of finger swelling or injury.

The Ring Pro is available in black, gold, silver and titanium, in sizes five through 14.

Introducing Jade: Ultrahuman’s AI Platform

Ultrahuman is also launching Jade, a new AI platform available to all customers, including those in the U.S. And users of older smart rings. Jade is designed as a conversational tool to provide personalized health insights from the ring’s data, offering a more accessible way to understand biometric information [TechCrunch]. For example, users can ask how recent blood results relate to their sleep patterns and receive a written summary of the data.

Financial Performance and Ongoing Legal Action

Despite the U.S. Disruption, Ultrahuman maintains an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $150 million [TechCrunch], reporting $64 million in operating revenue for the financial year ending March 2025. The company remains profitable, although litigation costs and redesign efforts are expected to narrow margins. Ultrahuman also filed a separate patent infringement case against Oura in the Delhi High Court in August 2025, which is still pending [Oura Blog], [TechCrunch].
