Summary
The Ultrahuman Smart Ring has received FDA clearance for its ability to detect atrial fibrillation (AFib), a common heart rhythm disorder. This makes the Ultrahuman Smart Ring the first wearable device to receive FDA clearance for AFib detection.
Background
AFib is a condition in which the heart’s upper chambers (atria) beat too fast and irregularly. This can lead to a number of symptoms, including palpitations, shortness of breath, chest pain, and fatigue. If left untreated, AFib can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other serious health problems.
How the Ultrahuman Smart Ring Detects AFib
The Ultrahuman Smart Ring uses a combination of sensors to detect AFib. These sensors include:
* An optical heart rate sensor
* An accelerometer
* An electrocardiogram (ECG) sensor
The optical heart rate sensor measures the user’s heart rate. The accelerometer measures the user’s movement. The ECG sensor measures the electrical activity of the user’s heart.
The Ultrahuman Smart Ring uses these sensors to create a personalized heart health profile for each user. This profile includes information about the user’s average heart rate, heart rate variability, and other heart health metrics.
When the Ultrahuman Smart Ring detects an irregular heart rhythm, it alerts the user. The user can then open the Ultrahuman App to view a detailed report of their heart rhythm. The report includes information about the type of irregular heart rhythm, the duration of the irregular heart rhythm, and the user’s heart rate at the time of the irregular heart rhythm.
Clinical Study
The Ultrahuman Smart Ring was evaluated in a clinical study involving over 1,000 participants. The study found that the Ultrahuman Smart Ring was able to detect AFib with 99% accuracy.
Availability
The Ultrahuman Smart Ring is now available for purchase on the Ultrahuman website. The ring is priced at $299.
Conclusion
The Ultrahuman Smart Ring is a safe and effective device for detecting AFib. The ring is easy to use and can provide users with peace of mind by monitoring their heart health.
