Ultrahuman ring owners in the United States can now pull their medical records into the Ultrahuman app. Once you connect them, the app puts diagnoses, medications and procedures from your records on the same timeline as the ring’s overnight readings. The feature is called the HealthEx PowerPlug and costs $4.99 a month or $45.99 a year. Ultrahuman announced it on September 17, 2026, and the rollout started that day. Ultrahuman sells the ring without a required membership, but this feature is a paid extra. It also means sharing records that most people guard closely.
What Ultrahuman released on September 17
HealthEx is a separate US company that helps people collect and share their own health records. Ultrahuman’s release says the PowerPlug “is rolling out from today in the United States for Ultrahuman Ring users in the Ultrahuman app”. Another line in the same release says “rolling out this week”. Together they describe a staged rollout, so the PowerPlug may not show up for everyone on the same day.
PowerPlugs are Ultrahuman’s add-on features, found in their own tab in the app. This one is billed separately, at $4.99 a month or $45.99 a year. The annual price works out to about $3.83 a month, so paying yearly saves roughly $14 compared with twelve monthly payments.
The release names two rings: the Ring AIR, which it notes is “not available in the U.S.”, and the Ring PRO. That leaves the Ring PRO as the model this feature is aimed at in the United States. Ultrahuman doesn’t say whether a Ring AIR bought in the US before it left the market can use it.
How the records reach the app
After you verify your identity, HealthEx looks for your records “across the places they have received care, reaching records nationwide through the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA).” TEFCA is the US federal framework that connects health information networks so that records can move between providers that use different systems.
That means you don’t need a separate portal login for every clinic you’ve visited. The release says HealthEx maps “532 conditions, medications, and procedures” from electronic medical records, but it doesn’t list which health systems respond through TEFCA. How complete your own record looks will depend on where you’ve been treated.
Under the consent model, members “choose which care sites to access records from, actively consent to sharing their records, and can stop sharing those records at any time.”
What you see once it’s connected
The app shows four ring measurements (resting heart rate, heart rate variability, skin temperature and deep sleep) “on the same timeline as the medications, procedures, and diagnoses in medical records.” That lets you see how your overnight numbers moved after you started a medication or had a procedure. The dates come from the record, so you don’t have to rely on memory.
HealthEx’s chief executive, Priyanka Agarwal, said in the release: “A medical record captures what happened at the visit, and Ultrahuman shows how the body responds every day after it.” Mohit Kumar, Ultrahuman’s chief executive, said the feature “puts crucial health records in one place and adds context to Ring measurements.”
The PowerPlug, the release adds, “is a general wellness feature. It is not a medical device, does not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or condition, and is not a substitute for professional medical care.” If your heart rate variability drops after you start a new drug, mention it to the doctor who prescribed it. The app won’t tell you what caused it.
Privacy and what the release leaves out
Both companies make one commitment in writing: “Neither Ultrahuman nor HealthEx sells member health data, uses it for advertising, or uses it to train AI models.”
The announcement doesn’t say where the imported records are stored or for how long. Nor does it say whether stopping sharing deletes the records already pulled into the app or only stops new ones. There’s no mention of HIPAA (the US health privacy law) or of which company is responsible for the records under it. Consumer wellness apps are often outside HIPAA, so the written privacy policy is what sets your protections here. It’s worth reading before you connect anything.
Is it worth $45.99 a year?
iPhone owners in the US can already download records from participating providers into Apple’s Health app for free. Apple has offered Health Records there since 2018. The PowerPlug puts those records on one timeline with the ring’s data, and it searches across TEFCA instead of connecting one provider at a time.
That pairing is most useful if something has changed in your care. Someone starting a blood pressure medication, recovering from surgery, or managing a long-term condition with regular appointments has a reason to check ring trends next to dated events. For someone with no recent diagnoses or prescriptions, the timeline will be mostly empty and the ring data will look the same as before.
If you want to try it, the monthly plan lets you test it for $4.99 before you commit to a year. Connect only the care sites you’re comfortable sharing, and read Ultrahuman’s and HealthEx’s privacy terms first. A published list of participating health systems, or a clear statement on deletion, would make this easier to recommend without reservations.
