Seems like Ultrahuman had started focusing on the US market (because India is saturated after a point). Oura must've sued them to limit competition, and because a lot of things were too similar. Anyone knows more here?
With astronomical prices, Indian market is very small.
Exactly, I could personally never afford it (although I'm decently well to do) Could only buy it for a one-off use case, and that's that
Very tough price point to build a large business on (within health)
Funny coming from Oura when they themselves frequently got inspired (AKA copying) by Whoop in the late 2010s and had been battling them.
But yes, it does look like Ultrahuman just straight up copied them.
Personally what ultra human built, is nothing evry new acc to me. I have been reading about such rings from few years now since I was in college. I had zero knowldge about wearable sensors or IOT or hardware that's why I coudlnt succeed much. But what ultra human built is not diff and yes it's so bloody costly. But i like the idea of a smart ring in today's world where kind of too many sectors and products are saturated.. This was kind of exiting. I have some immense passion and excitement towards wearable sensors thats why i like this idea. For Indian markets how useful it would be I am not sure but someday I too would like to pursue to build such a product.
Mostly the product is what china provides off the shelf. The only thing they would have done over it is probably a bit of design. Which even chinese would have helped. A lot of these are standard in design and manufacturing and medtec china for example does, I may have mistaken the company. But similar exists.
In many products these days, White labelling has been termed as innovation. It works as long as the supplier is a chinese guy and you stay within India. The moment you go beyond, the other buyers of the supplier cry
Just confused cuz I don't see many people talking about it anymore
