Key points
- App layout simplified and decluttered for easier parsing.

App Redesign and Simplification
Ultrahuman has overhauled its app with a focus on simplifying and decluttering its layout. The update, codenamed Emerald, places contextual information on the default tab, customized to individual user needs.
Introducing Ultrasphere AI
A new feature called Ultrasphere has been added, which acts as a "decision engine." This system uses Ultrahuman's homegrown AI, Jade, to analyze vital signs and contextual data, generating "next best actions" or health tips. For example, it might suggest a 10-minute walk in the sun if energy dips in the afternoon.
On-Device Data Processing
As part of the overhaul, the Ultrahuman app now handles all insight processing directly on the device. This allows the app to function and provide insights even when the phone is not connected to the internet, which is beneficial for users in situations like air travel.
Algorithm and Feature Enhancements
The company has also updated the algorithms behind its VO2 Max calculations to provide more accurate blood oxygen level readings. Additionally, there are updates to AFib detection, sharing capabilities, and the option to view live heart rate data within the app.
Availability
The Emerald update for the Ultrahuman app is rolling out to all users starting today.
