Qualcomm backs Ultrahuman in $70M round on bet to turn smart rings into computers

In the meantime, Ultrahuman is also looking to work more closely with Labcorp, as it tries to push its rings deeper into health and diagnostics. The companies, Kumar said, are exploring whether the blood-flow signals captured by the ring, when paired with blood-test data, could help identify health risks in areas including cardiovascular health, fertility, and aging.

“By combining longitudinal wearable data with deeper biological signals, Ultrahuman is creating new opportunities in personalized health,” said Megann Vaughn Watters, vice president and head of Labcorp Venture Fund and Strategic Alliances.

The partnership could eventually lead to integrations with Ultrahuman’s products, Kumar said, though he declined to share details, adding that the startup expects to have more to announce soon.
