Ultrahuman Unveils Ring Pro As Smart Ring Competition Intensifies In The U.S.

Ultrahuman, the Bengaluru-based leader in wearable technology, has unveiled its third-generation smart ring, the Ring Pro, marking a significant step in the company’s efforts to reestablish its U.S. presence. With an extended battery life of up to 15 days and a completely redesigned form factor, the Ring Pro arrives as a strategic response following last year’s patent dispute with rival Oura.

New Design And Extended Battery Life

Ring Pro introduces a redesigned form factor alongside a dual-core processor and upgraded heart-rate sensing architecture aimed at improving data accuracy. The device is slightly heavier than its predecessor but offers enhanced on-device computing and the ability to store up to 250 days of health data. Priced at $479, the ring delivers up to 15 days of battery life, a notable increase compared to the four to six days offered by the Ring Air.

Overcoming Regulatory And Patent Hurdles

Ultrahuman’s U.S. operations faced disruption in October 2025 after the U.S. International Trade Commission ruled in favor of Oura in a patent dispute, restricting imports of new inventory. Existing stock remained available, but the decision pushed the company to redesign the product and reassess its U.S. strategy. The market remains critical for Ultrahuman, with American users accounting for roughly 45% of its 700,000 daily active users.

Introducing Jade: Real-Time Biointelligence

Alongside Ring Pro, Ultrahuman launched Jade, a real-time biointelligence system designed to provide actionable health insights instead of retrospective data summaries. According to co-founder and CEO Mohit Kumar, the system focuses on continuous analysis and real-time recommendations. Jade is available across the company’s ecosystem, including older ring models, reinforcing Ultrahuman’s AI-driven approach to wearable health monitoring.

Robust Financials And Expanding Market Influence

Despite legal and operational challenges, Ultrahuman continues to show strong financial performance. The company reports an annualized revenue run rate of approximately $150 million and operating revenue of $64 million for the fiscal year ending March 2025. Subscription services and additional offerings, including coaching programs and continuous glucose monitoring, continue to diversify revenue streams and support profitability.

Expanding Production And Global Reach

Ultrahuman is expanding production capacity as demand grows across international markets, including the UK, Canada, Australia, and India. Industry analysts note that the future of smart rings will depend on sensor precision, AI integration, and ecosystem connectivity — areas where Ultrahuman is actively investing.

With the launch of Ring Pro and the introduction of Jade, the company is aiming to strengthen its position in the fast-growing wearable technology sector while rebuilding momentum in key global markets.

Eurobank Wins Two Euromoney Awards Following Cyprus Merger

Eurobank has been named Cyprus’ Best Bank for 2026 by Euromoney, while also receiving the award for Best Bank for Large Corporates at the publication’s latest Awards for Excellence.

Merger Marks A Milestone

The awards recognise the bank’s performance during 2025, a year marked by the completion of the legal merger between Hellenic Bank and Eurobank Cyprus. The transaction created Eurobank Limited, which the group says is now Cyprus’ largest banking and insurance organisation, with assets exceeding €28 billion.

Euromoney’s Awards for Excellence evaluate banks’ performance over the previous calendar year, with this edition covering January 1 to December 31, 2025.

Lending, Customers And Digital Growth

Eurobank said its business lending portfolio expanded by around 17 per cent during 2025, while its customer base grew to more than 710,000 retail clients and 11,500 business customers.

The bank also continued its digital expansion, saying more than 96 per cent of transactions are now completed through digital channels, and most financing applications are submitted via its mobile app.

Expanding International Presence

Eurobank also highlighted the opening of its first representative office in India, describing the move as a step toward strengthening business links between Cyprus and India while supporting Cyprus’ role as a gateway to the European Union for Indian businesses and investors.

According to the bank, Euromoney recognised not only the successful completion of the merger but also its lending growth, digital transformation and contribution to Cyprus’ position as an international business and investment hub.

CEO On The Awards

“The Euromoney awards confirm Eurobank’s strong momentum and the successful implementation of our group’s strategy in Cyprus,” Chief Executive Michalis Louis said.

He said the merger strengthened the bank’s ability to support households, businesses and the wider economy, while highlighting continued investment in digital services and the opening of the representative office in India as key milestones during the year.
