Ultrahuman, a health tech startup known for its smart rings, has partnered with Abu Dhabi health authorities to develop a biological-age model. The model is intended to be made available to people across the United Arab Emirates.
On Monday, Ultrahuman announced a two-year memorandum of understanding with the Abu Dhabi Public Health Center (ADPHC). This partnership will focus on developing and validating the model, which will integrate clinical biomarkers with data from wearable devices.
The aim is to estimate how quickly an individual is aging and identify factors such as sleep, activity, cardiovascular health, and metabolism that may influence this process. The model is being designed to be compatible with various wearable devices, including rings, wrist-worn devices, straps, and patches, alongside clinical biomarkers.
Ultrahuman and ADPHC will conduct research and clinical validation over the next two years. The broader rollout is planned in phases, though a specific timeline has not been provided.
