Ultrahuman has partnered with Fibri Check to launch Heart Scan, a feature enabling Ring Air and Ring Pro users to check their heart rhythm on demand. This extension of the existing Atrial Fibrillation add-on allows users to initiate a dedicated scan via the Ultrahuman app whenever they feel something is off. The 60-second test requires the user to sit still, with results analyzed by Fibri Check's algorithm and compiled into a PDF for sharing with healthcare professionals.
The feature is currently available in supported markets across the UK, Europe, Middle East, and Asia-Pacific. Notably, Heart Scan is being folded into the existing Afib Power Plug, meaning existing subscribers gain access at no additional cost. The announcement follows a personal story from a friend of the company who experienced atrial fibrillation while driving, losing consciousness and crashing his car.
Thankfully, he has since had a pacemaker fitted. The collaboration aims to provide users with actionable data to share with doctors, moving beyond simple summaries to actual recordings of heart activity.
