-The Ultrahuman Ring Air now has the capacity to track snoring and general respiratory health. This is thanks to proprietary technology called Respiratory Health PowerPlug, which is basically a suite of audio analysis tools along with some "advanced biomarker tracking" and AI. -A recently published pricing experiment study showed that the Instacart app gave different users different prices for the same items from the same store location at the exact same time.
