Ultrahuman Adds Red Light Therapy to Smart Rings

Ultrahuman, known for its smart rings, has expanded its personal health offerings with the introduction of the Photon device. This new product integrates red light therapy into the company's wellness ecosystem, providing users with personalized therapeutic sessions. The Photon device, priced at $249 and available for preorder, is designed to sync with Ultrahuman's smart rings. By leveraging data from the rings on sleep and recovery, Photon suggests targeted red light therapy routines for enhanced wellness and recovery. Utilizing dual-wavelength light therapy, Photon emits red light at 660 nanometers and near-infrared light at 850 nanometers. These specific wavelengths are recognized for their potential to promote collagen growth and reduce inflammation, aiding in skin texture improvement and muscle recovery. The Photon device is lightweight and portable, offering six sessions per charge via USB-C. It includes four guided protocols—Glow Ritual, Deep Restore, Wind-Down, and Morning Activation—managed through the Ultrahuman app, which also provides guidance on usage. The company is currently working on meeting regulatory requirements in the US, UK, and EU, and has stated that Photon is classified as a general wellness product, not requiring FDA clearance.
