Ultrahuman, the company that created our favorite smart ring for fitness enthusiasts, is launching Ultrahuman Home -- a health-monitoring device that provides real-time insights into the environment around us. It measures air quality, temperature, humidity, noise and light and reports how these factors can impact our bodies.

Through its UltraSync technology, Ultrahuman Home can pair with the brand's ring to tell you more about how your environment impacts your heart rate variability, sleep and recovery. As an example, if UltraSync observes increased light or noise levels at night along with your sleep awakenings, it can provide insights into how your surroundings are affecting your sleep.

In terms of air quality, Ultrahuman Home tracks fine particulate matter (PM 1, 2.5 and 10), chemical pollutants like volatile organic compounds (gases emitted by chemicals in paint, cleaning supplies and more), carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, all of which can impact your day-to-day health. 

Ultrahuman Home measures blue, infrared, green and red light exposure, which can help you tailor your home's lighting to your body's sleep and mood. The device also monitors UVA, UVB and UVC levels to ensure you're getting all the benefits of light (like vitamin D) without potential harm from overexposure.

For privacy, Ultrahuman Home has a microphone cut-off control. It also offers airplane mode. 

If you're interested in Ultrahuman Home, it can be purchased on Ultrahuman.com for $549. This is a one-time cost, and the device doesn't come with recurring subscriptions.
