    Ultrahuman overhauls app with AI-powered recommendations.

    The smart wearables company has a new feature for its companion app called “UltraSphere,” which provides over 60 suggested actions to improve rest, wellness, and recovery. The actions are location- and weather-aware, and tailored to the user. Suggestions can include things like “get light,” “cut caffeine,” and “wind down.”

    The suggested actions draw on markers spanning sleep, recovery,HRV, skin temperature, cycle phase, movement, stress, and glucose data (with Ultrahuman M1 or M2 Live).
