Ultrahuman Adds 60‑Second Heart Scan to Ring Air and Ring Pro

Sixty-second FibriCheck‑analyzed scans provide immediate rhythm classifications with downloadable clinical-style reports, supplementing Ultrahuman's subscription nighttime AFib monitoring.

Overview

  • Ultrahuman began rolling out the new Heart Scan on Oct. 7, 2026, letting eligible Ring Air and Ring Pro users run on-demand rhythm checks from the app.
  • Each Heart Scan lasts 60 seconds and uses the Ultrahuman Ring's sensor with FibriCheck's clinical algorithm to classify rhythms in real time.
  • Scan results appear inside the Ultrahuman app and generate a downloadable FibriCheck PDF that includes the pulse recording, a tachogram, and a Lorenz plot for clinician review.
  • Availability depends on region and app version—Ultrahuman requires iOS app 4.3.0 or Android 3.2.0.0 for supported markets, and eligible members can enable free scans from the Ultrahuman dashboard.
  • Ultrahuman and FibriCheck warn the feature has limits: results can be 'Regular,' 'Possibly irregular,' 'Possible atrial fibrillation,' 'Signal quality too low,' or 'Inconclusive,' the scan does not detect heart attacks, and nightly AFib screening remains a paid PowerPlug subscription.
