Ultrahuman, a pioneer in health optimisation technology, is proud to announce a groundbreaking collaboration with Cofidis, one of Europe’s most renowned cycling teams and a stalwart of the Tour de France. This strategic partnership enhances  Ultrahuman’s mission to push the boundaries of performance, recovery, and health insights through its cutting-edge technology.

Ultrahuman’s flagship products include the Ultrahuman Ring AIR, the world’s lightest sleep-tracking wearable, and the Ultrahuman M1 continuous glucose monitoring platform.

Together, they enable athletes, coaches, and medical teams to optimise performance and track recovery with unparalleled precision. By integrating these state-of-the-art technologies into Cofidis’ daily training and recovery regimens, Ultrahuman will empower the team to fine-tune every aspect of their health and performance, from sleep quality and recovery to metabolic function and heart health.

Mohit Kumar, Founder and CEO of Ultrahuman said “We are excited to be partnering with UCI world cycling team, Cofidis. By leveraging the unique capabilities of the Ultrahuman ecosystem, cyclists now have access to not only enhance their training and competition performance but also improve their recovery, personalized to their unique physiology.”

“Coaches are also now enabled with the Ultrahuman Vision platform to leverage advanced data analytics and real-time insights in crafting personalised training and recovery protocols that address each athlete’s unique needs.” he added. 

A New Era of Performance Tracking

Ultrahuman Ring AIR, the world’s lightest sleep-tracking wearable at just 2.4 grams and 2.45 mm in thickness, redefines wearable technology by merging cutting-edge technology with exceptional comfort. It is equipped with advanced sensors, including a PPG sensor, 6-axis motion sensor, and temperature sensor, to deliver precise insights into sleep architecture, heart rate variability (HRV), metabolic function, movement, skin temperature, recovery levels, stress rhythms, cardiovascular health, caffeine windows, and vitamin D level without any subscription fees.

Cyclists rely heavily on precise training and deep recovery, to enable peak competition performance. Training is metered and personalised to the level of recovery of the cyclist, and can also benefit from detecting early signs of fatigue, illness and stress.

Designed for performance and recovery tracking, the Ring AIR will provide detailed insights into fueling, recovery, and endurance metrics through multisensor data streams. This data is leveraged by the coaches via a coaching dashboard to access crucial bio-insights. The coaches remotely access rider biomarkers, and use the insights to make informed decisions about the cyclists' training and competition.

These insights include granular analysis of essential sleep phases — awake, REM and NREM, stress rhythm and cardio-tone for the cyclists which are critical to tailor precise recovery protocols.

The device offers a battery life of up to 6 days on a single charge. It is compatible with both iOS and Android devices, ensuring seamless integration with your preferred smartphone. This pioneering wearable merges state-of-the-art engineering with seamless comfort, empowering athletes to access an unparalleled depth of insight into their well-being.

PowerPlugs

Cofidis athletes can take advantage of the Ultrahuman Ring AIR’s new PowerPlugs, a platform of individual apps and plugins built on top of Ultrahuman’s health and wellness data stack, the world’s first in a smart ring form factor.

PowerPlugs can be accessed through the Ultrahuman App. They include:

Cardio Adaptability:
Athletes leverage this PowerPlug to monitor nocturnal heart rhythms, providing valuable insights into how their cardiovascular systems respond to both physical and mental stress. By detecting early signs of cardio stress, the PowerPlug empowers athletes to optimise their training and safeguard their long-term cardiovascular health.
 

Circadian Alignment:
Athletes establish and maintain a consistent circadian rhythm through tailored light exposure and movement cues. A well-aligned circadian rhythm promotes enhanced sleep quality and boosts athletic performance. It’s particularly valuable for athletes traveling across time zones, mitigating the negative effects of jet lag and helping them adapt more effectively.

Cycle and Ovulation Tracking:
Women can take informed training decisions by syncing workout intensity with menstrual cycles. When combined with sleep data, Cycle and Ovulation Tracking serves as a robust indicator of readiness, helping coaches adjust training and recovery strategies to better support the athletes’ needs.
 

Caffeine Window:
Athletes can optimise their caffeine intake to enhance performance while minimising its potential impact on sleep. As caffeine is a proven ergogenic aid, it helps identify the ideal timing for consumption, enabling athletes to leverage its benefits without compromising their recovery and overall performance.

Empowering Athletes with Data

The collaboration with Cofidis aims to extend the capabilities of Ultrahuman’s health and performance technologies to professional sports, where small advantages can have a significant impact. By working closely with athletes, coaches, and medical teams, Ultrahuman ensures that its products are continuously refined and calibrated to meet the specific needs of elite performance.

“We're delighted with this new partnership with Ultrahuman, which shows that the Cofidis team is continuing its transformation.” said Cedric Vasseur, General Manager of Cofidis. 

“Ultrahuman is at the cutting edge of technology and will give all our riders the essential data they need to optimise their training. Ultrahuman is a new tool available to our riders to help them perform better and get the most out of their physical condition so they can go out and win more races.”
