Abu Dhabi to add Ultrahuman smart ring algorithms to its “Sahatna” health app
Abu Dhabi's Department of Public Health has begun working with smart ring maker Ultrahuman. The company's algorithms will be built into the national “Sahatna” health app so it can determine a user's biological age.
The Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre has started a partnership with smart ring manufacturer Ultrahuman. The aim is to bring the company's algorithms into “Sahatna”, the national healthcare app. This matters because the app will soon be able to assess a person's health more broadly than before.
What the app offers
Sahatna lets residents manage their own health data and communicate with doctors. It also gives access to medical history and genetic data. As a national healthcare app, the information it holds is tied to the official health system.
What will change
Thanks to the new integration, the app will be able to determine a user's biological age, not only their chronological age. Chronological age is the number of years lived since birth, while biological age describes the condition of the body. Ultrahuman's smart ring algorithms will be used for this purpose.
