THE fitness market is booming and one proof is the abundance of wearables that measure and study not just how many steps you take a day or what your pulse rate is but analyzes your menstrual cycle, sleep patterns, and stress levels.
I remember that 10 or 12 years ago, I would carry a pedometer in my pocket to measure the number of steps I took. Now, there are smart watches and smart rings for that purpose and these devices do more than just count steps.
If you’re not into smart watches and fitness trackers, some of which can be be big and bulky (and interfere with your sartorial choices), smart rings are small wearables that could work for those who want the benefits of a wearable without the bulk.
Like smart watches and fitness trackers, smart rings track sleep, steps, recovery, and stress levels. They’re comfortable to sleep with (I have slept with them on).
Wearable health technology company Ultrahuman recently launched its new Brushed Rose Gold finish for the Ultrahuman Ring AIR in the Philippines. It also rolled out the Cycle and Ovulation Pro feature, which claims to be the world’s most accurate cycle tracking system in a smart ring.
Ultrahuman is known for its subscription-free service. Thus, all insights and historical trends can be accessed by the user. You can get 15-percent off until November 23 at Digital Walker and Open Source stores nationwide, and online via Shopee and Lazada.
Brushed Rose Gold joins the Matte Black, Aster Black, Bionic Gold, and Space Silver finishes for the Ultrahuman Ring AIR range.
The Ultrahuman Ring AIR tracks health, wellness and fitness metrics like heart rate, skin temperature, activity, workouts, stress and more. It automatically detects naps, sleep and some exercises like outdoor walks. You can also manually start and stop workouts or breathing exercises through the app (which you can download on your phone). You can also log food and water intake.
It helps to monitor sleep quality, HRV, and resting heart rate to identify what’s disrupting rest at night (could be late-night snacks, watching television, scrolling your phone, or even the room’s temperature).
The Circadian Alignment PowerPlug helps schedule wind-down and wake-up routines while you can find the optimal caffeine window based on the body clock and recovery state. You can log beverages and get personal caffeine cut-off recommendations to protect and promote deep sleep.
Cycle and Ovulation Pro offers 90 percent accuracy for ovulation confirmation. Adapted from the OvuSense medical-grade algorithm, it helps women recognize subtle hormonal patterns and stay in tune with their bodies, even for non-textbook cycles. Cycle Flags highlight variations such as early or late ovulation and luteal-phase changes. There are also symptom and lifestyle tagging to reveal how mood, stress and sleep interact with hormonal shifts. Ultrahuman also provides broad compatibility across all cycle types so women, especially those with irregular patterns, get reliable insights for women with non-standard or irregular patterns.
The Ultrahuman Ring AIR promises 4-6 days of use. It’s a very interactive smart ring. Throughout the day, you’ll receive notifications to move, to stretch, and even to drink coffee. The ring is also light and comfortable so you can easily wear it to bed. The Ultrahuman Ring AIR is perfect for people who are into health and wellness as it is active and technical.
