Ultrahuman wants its ring to stop measuring only the body and start organising your medical paperwork as well. The company has launched HealthEx PowerPlug, an update to its app that brings the full electronic medical record together with the continuous biometric data recorded by devices such as the Ultrahuman Ring Pro. The point is not to diagnose anything, but to arrive at the appointment with your questions already prepared.
What HealthEx PowerPlug brings to the Ultrahuman ring
The feature was built in partnership with health data platform HealthEx, according to the company. PowerPlug gathers medical histories scattered across clinics, hospitals and labs in the United States and places them on the same timeline as metrics the ring already tracked: resting heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature and sleep data.
Ultrahuman claims the system can map more than 500 conditions, medications and medical procedures, and automatically flag lapsed follow-ups, overdue lab tests or anomalous results that were never repeated, turning them into concrete questions for the next appointment. It also generates a summary called “Visit Pack” that gathers the clinical history and the wearable’s trends into a single view, designed for brief consultations.
The same play as Whoop, and the gap that remains
The move is not isolated. Whoop announced its own partnership with HealthEx this year to sync electronic health records alongside its recovery scores, and has paired it with live video consultations with licensed doctors and changes to its assistant: My Memory context logging, proactive check-ins and voice-activated journaling.
It is worth pumping the brakes: the fact that a ring cross-references data does not make it a clinical instrument. Many of the health metrics wearables popularise still lack settled scientific validation, as we discussed when we looked at the readiness scores Garmin, Oura, Whoop and Apple have not closed. Tools like this one organise information and help you prepare for a consultation, but they do not replace a health professional’s judgement or provide a diagnosis.
Price and availability
HealthEx PowerPlug is rolling out in the United States and costs $4.99 per month or $45.99 per year from the PowerPlugs tab in the app. Core tracking remains free, so the novelty joins the catalogue of paid features with which Ultrahuman is expanding its specialised health marketplace.
The launch comes after the global release of the Ring Pro, its flagship, with a single-piece titanium body redesigned to sidestep patent disputes in the United States and extend battery life. Add the revamped Emerald system, the UltraSphere daily guidance and the Jade AI assistant, and the brand is pitching its ecosystem as a bridge between daily tracking and traditional clinical care.
If you live in the United States and have reports from several clinics, the subscription may save you preparation time before each appointment. If what you are after is a diagnosis, or you live outside the country, for now you will have to wait: the feature has not arrived there yet.
