Smart wearables company Ultrahuman has launched a new device that monitors changes in home environments that could impact your health. Ultrahuman says its $549 Home gadge<\/a>t tracks air quality, temperature, noise, light, and humidity, helping users optimize the climate within their homes to improve breathing and sleeping habits.<\/p>\n

The Ultrahuman Home resembles a Mac Mini in terms of size and appearance. Its air quality features monitor levels of fine particulate matter, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and chemical pollutants like acetone and formaldehyde. The device also tracks noise levels and various types of light exposure, including UVA, UVB, UVC, blue, red, green, and infrared, to help users \u201calign home lighting with their body\u2019s natural rhythm,\u201d according to Ultrahuman.<\/p>\n

Users who have an Ultrahuman Ring wearable<\/a> can pair it with the Home device to unlock an \u201cUltraSync\u201d feature that suggests how environmental data may be impacting heart rate, sleep, and recovery patterns. For example, Ultrahuman says that UltraSync can suggest if the user was woken during the night by elevated noise or light levels.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

We should note that the Ultrahuman Home won\u2019t actually address <\/em>the concerns it detects. The device is equipped with sensors and microphones for monitoring environmental changes via a mobile app, but it doesn\u2019t include features like a built-in dehumidifier or air purification, and it doesn\u2019t offer any way to integrate it into smart home ecosystems. There\u2019s no recurring subscription to pay, and Ultrahuman says the \u201cdata and insights are with the user, always.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Still, $549 is expensive<\/em> for a device that doesn\u2019t actually do anything \u2014 except maybe increase paranoia<\/a> \u2014\u00a0 unlike smart indoor air quality sensors available from Ikea<\/a>, Amazon<\/a>, SwitchBot<\/a> and others.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
