The new 'PowerPlug' uses biomarkers like HRV and sleep to help users manage their migraine attacks
Ultrahuman is expanding the capabilities of its smart ring, announcing a partnership with Click Therapeutics to launch a Migraine ‘PowerPlug’.
The new software feature is designed to help the estimated one billion people globally who suffer from migraines. The feature integrates Click’s FDA-authorized digital therapeutics to deliver personalized insights and preventive recommendations.
The PowerPlug (which is what Ultrahuman calls its bolt-ons available via the app) will land in early 2026 following a pilot phase. The brand has also noted it will be available to users in all of its major markets, including the US, UK, EU, and India.
Shedding more light on triggers
The Migraine PowerPlug doesn’t just track when a migraine occurs; it also attempts to identify physiological precursors.
By analyzing biomarkers captured via the Ultrahuman Ring Air—including heart rate variability (HRV), sleep quality, movement, and stress load—the system looks for deviations that may correlate with an individual’s specific migraine triggers.
It then provides ‘guided behavioral interventions’. Instead of generic advice, users might receive tailored goals for hydration, sleep schedules, or movement to mitigate the risk of an attack.
We are eager to see how this functions in practice, as migraine triggers are notoriously diverse and vary from person to person. While stress and sleep are undoubtedly factors, changes in hormones, diet, sensory stimuli, and environmental weather are also common triggers.
Another win for women
This launch aligns with Ultrahuman’s growing focus on women’s health, following its acquisition of fertility tech company viO Health last August and its rich partnership with cycle-tracking platform Clue announced in September.
Since hormonal fluctuations are a major migraine trigger for many women, the PowerPlug will likely layer this data on top of cycle tracking to provide a more holistic view of potential risk windows. Again, we’ll keep an eye on it to see how it develops following its full release.
The Wareable view
This is another significant exclusive feature for Ultrahuman, as it seeks to distance itself from Oura’s shadow. It’s also another example of a smart ring brand leading the way with actionable, preventive insights, something smartwatch makers are playing catch-up on.
Instead, companies like Ultrahuman have had their finger on the pulse of the latest digital health trends in the last few years—be it circadian rhythm, air quality, stress analysis, or women’s health.
By partnering with Click Therapeutics—a company with actual FDA authorizations—the reliability is further bolstered. And even if this new feature can only successfully predict migraine onset for a fraction of users—or at least help users understand their triggers more—it further solidifies Ring Air’s place as an essential medical companion, not just another tracker.
