Ultrahuman adds on-demand heart rhythm scans via FibriCheck partnership

Ultrahuman has partnered with FibriCheck to launch Heart Scan, letting Ring Air and Ring Pro wearers check their heart rhythm on demand rather than only overnight as the existing Atrial Fibrillation add-on allows. Users sit still for 60 seconds while FibriCheck's smartphone-camera-based algorithm analyzes the reading, producing a shareable PDF report for healthcare providers. The feature rolls into the existing Afib Power Plug at no extra cost, though it's currently limited to select markets in the UK, Europe, Middle East and Asia-Pacific.
