Ultrahuman has just teamed up with Click Therapeutics to launch the Migraine PowerPlug, and honestly, this feels like a significant shift for smart wearables. It’s a new software feature for the Ultrahuman Ring Air that borrows technology from Click’s FDA-authorized digital migraine treatment (CT-132) to bring clinical-grade migraine management to a consumer device.
If you have ever dealt with migraines, you know the frustration of trying to figure out what set it off. Was it the poor sleep? The stress? That extra cup of coffee?
The Migraine PowerPlug tries to solve this by analyzing your biometric data—like sleep quality, heart rate variability (HRV), stress levels, and movement—to spot patterns you might miss. Instead of just logging a migraine after it happens, the ring looks for the physiological warning signs that usually precede an attack.
If it detects a high-risk combination of factors (say, your recovery is low and your stress spikes), it sends you a “heads up” along with real-time behavioral advice. This could be a nudge to hydrate, adjust your sleep schedule, or take a specific break—small adjustments designed to stop the migraine in its tracks or at least reduce its severity.
Most “health” features on smartwatches are pretty generic
They tell you to stand up or breathe, but they don’t know you. This partnership is unique because it merges raw data from the ring with actual medical logic. Click Therapeutics isn’t just a wellness app developer; they build regulated digital treatments. By embedding their FDA-authorised algorithms into the Ultrahuman app, they are effectively turning a piece of jewellery into a medical-grade monitoring tool.

This also highlights what Ultrahuman is doing differently compared to Oura or Samsung. Instead of bloating the main app with features 90% of users won’t touch, they use a “PowerPlug” store.
Think of it like an app store for your metabolism
You can install the Respiratory PowerPlug (which uses your phone to listen for snoring/coughing) or this Migraine PowerPlug if you need them, but keep the experience clean if you don’t. It’s a modular approach that respects the user’s intelligence.

The feature is rolling out in early 2026 across the US, UK, and EU. While pricing isn’t confirmed yet, expect it to be a paid add-on (similar to other premium PowerPlugs), given the medical tech involved.
For the wearable industry, this is the future. We are finally moving past “10,000 steps” and into devices that actually help manage chronic conditions in real time. For migraine sufferers, that little bit of extra warning could change everything.
