Ultrahuman Launches 60-Second Heart Scan: Check Heart Health Straight from a Smart Ring
Baca dalam 60 detik
- Ultrahuman memperkenalkan fitur Heart Scan yang memungkinkan pemindaian jantung dalam 60 detik melalui aplikasi Ring PRO.
- Fitur ini menghasilkan laporan terunduh berisi rekaman denyut nadi, tachogram, dan plot Lorenz untuk pemantauan pribadi.
- Langkah ini menegaskan arah Ultrahuman mengintegrasikan data wearable dengan rekam medis resmi, didukung pendanaan US$70 juta.
Ultrahuman officially launched its Heart Scan feature for Ring PRO users in the United States on October 7. The 60-second scan is designed to give an instant picture of the user's heart condition at a given moment, making it the first on-demand heart check integrated directly into a smart ring app.
Unlike the continuous monitoring typical of wearable devices, Heart Scan focuses on a momentary snapshot. Users can start a scan through the Ultrahuman app, and the results are processed using FibriCheck software before appearing on the Dashboard. For Ring PRO members, scan reports can be downloaded and saved, covering pulse recordings, tachograms, and Lorenz plots that map the intervals between heartbeats.
The feature complements Ring PRO's existing capabilities, which already track heart rate variability (HRV), resting heart rate, and overnight recovery. Ultrahuman positions Heart Scan as a complement to the Cardio Adaptability PowerPlug, which shows long-term heart trends. Together, the two let users understand not only general patterns but also how the heart reacts to daily activities—from exercise and relaxation to emotional stress.
Ultrahuman's move is more than just a feature addition. Previously, the company introduced the HealthEx PowerPlug, which can pull official medical records from various health facilities in the US and combine them with smart ring data. The paid service can also generate a "Visit Pack" containing a summary of medical records and biomarker data to help communication with doctors at the next visit.
"Every scan provides a downloadable report, including pulse recordings, tachograms, and Lorenz plots of inter-beat timing," Ultrahuman said in its announcement.
Ultrahuman's ambition to unite wearable technology with the formal health ecosystem is becoming clearer. The company says it wants to create a platform that understands the human body and provides actionable insights. This vision is backed by US$70 million in funding from prominent investors such as Qualcomm Ventures, Labcorp, and Alpha Wave. For the Indonesian market, this move could signal that wearables are no longer just fitness trackers, but a gateway to preventive health services more connected to the medical system.
Even so, the adoption challenge in Indonesia remains significant. Personal data protection regulations, the readiness of electronic medical record infrastructure, and device affordability are determining factors. If Ultrahuman or similar players want to enter the Southeast Asian market, partnerships with local hospitals and clinics will be key. Without that, these advanced features risk becoming an expensive toy for a limited segment.
Going forward, the question is no longer whether wearables can monitor the heart, but how far that data can be trusted for medical decisions. Will Heart Scan be recognized as an early screening tool by health practitioners, or will it remain a lifestyle accessory? The answer to that question will shape the direction of the digital health industry over the next five years.
