Blood Vision will be available in all 50 states starting next Tuesday, offering users insights across over 120 biomarkers and integrating with Ultrahuman’s wearable technology
Ultrahuman, known for its wearable health tracking devices, is launching a new platform called Blood Vision today. The product, which will be available across the U.S., is designed to offer a more detailed look into a person’s health by analyzing over 120 biomarkers.
Blood Vision pairs lab-based testing with data from Ultrahuman’s existing wearable, the Ring AIR, giving users the ability to track markers related to cardiovascular, hormonal, metabolic, immune, and aging-related health. The platform is intended to help users monitor their health over time, rather than just through occasional or isolated checkups.
“This approach helps people better understand how their body is functioning and how it’s changing,” said Ultrahuman CEO Mohit Kumar. “By combining blood analysis with continuous data from the Ring, we can give more context to what’s happening inside the body.”
Unlike traditional lab tests, which offer results at a single point in time, Blood Vision is designed to evolve with users. The company says this allows for more personalized insights and a clearer understanding of long-term health trends.
Ultrahuman’s broader goal is to provide tools that make health monitoring more accessible and proactive. With Blood Vision, the company adds a new layer to its platform, which already includes glucose monitoring and home health tracking tools.

Brazil weighs measures on US dividends, tech firms, reports say | World
Brazil’s government is studying potential responses to further sanctions by U.S. President Donald Trump, including a limit on dividend payments by U.S. companies with operations in Brazil, according to O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s government is intensifying its deliberations on possible measures after the U.S. government announced it […]
Brazil’s government is studying potential responses to further sanctions by U.S. President Donald Trump, including a limit on dividend payments by U.S. companies with operations in Brazil, according to O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper.
President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s government is intensifying its deliberations on possible measures after the U.S. government announced it was revoking visas for some Brazilian Supreme Court justices. The move came after Justice Alexandre de Moraes sent police to raid the home of ex-President Jair Bolsonaro ahead of his trial on charges he attempted a coup to remain in power.
Finance Minister Fernando Haddad denied Brazil is considering limits on dividends as a retaliation against the U.S., Reuters reported, citing a statement.
The Brazilian government is also considering ending the licensing of U.S. drug patents and levying taxes on big tech firms, according to O Estado de S. Paulo and O Globo. It hasn’t made a decision and any measures will require Lula’s approval, the newspapers said.
The government intends to continue diplomatic negotiations with the Trump administration, O Estado de S. Paulo said, adding that any retaliatory measures may be adopted after Aug. 2. The U.S. government has announced a 50% tariff on Brazil that will take effect on Aug. 1, which Trump has tied to the charges against Bolsonaro.
The government is studying a tax on digital services offered by big tech companies, with different rates depending their revenues, O Globo reported, saying the measure is being analyzed by Finance Ministry.
Lula said on Saturday he’s certain that “no kind of intimidation or threat from anyone” will compromise the nation’s institutions in their mission to defend the rule of law.
“The interference of one country in the judiciary of another is unacceptable and violates the basic principles of respect and sovereignty between nations,” according to a statement published by Brazilian president offering support to the Supreme Court’s justices.

Palo Alto, CA – Few people know it yet but in Silicon Valley, there’s a small company that may well reshape the future of technology, medicine, defense, and even how planes navigate the skies.
SandboxAQ, a company that Time magazine recently named one of the Top 100 Most Influential Companies in the world, has over 200 employees, including 87 PhDs and 110+ technical engineers.
What’s more, more than 46,000 applicants have applied to work at SandboxAQ in the past 12 months and the company only accepts 0.21% of candidates—that’s one-fifth of one percent. It is harder to get into SandboxAQ than any Ivy League college. The company has a 91% employee retention rate, which is higher than the benchmark of the tech industry. So what makes this company so special?
AI That Understands the Physical World
It may be because the company is pioneering Quantitative AI—that is, AI models trained not just on language, but on math, physics, biology, and chemistry. It uses Large Quantitative Models (LQMs)—a new class of AI that understands and can simulate complex systems, from atomic interactions to electromagnetic fields to financial transactions.
Where traditional language models focus on probability, SandboxAQ’s LQMs are about precision. These models don’t hallucinate or guess because they’re grounded in the immutable laws of physics and mathematical equations. They can deliver more accurate predictions, new insights, and data that such industries as biopharma, aerospace, energy, and defense can rely on.
For instance:
Drug Discovery: The platform can simulate millions of molecular interactions virtually, using powerful computers instead of expensive, time-consuming physical lab experiments, helping researchers find treatments for Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cancer faster than before.
Advanced Materials:SandboxAQ’s platform for advanced materials is working to design high-performance batteries, safer chemicals, more sustainable energy solutions, and higher-value products. It is also working with chemical and energy companies and the military to develop advanced materials leveraging its technologies.
Global Navigation: As GPS signals face a growing global threat of jamming and spoofing, an AQNav system provides a magnetic navigation alternative that uses AI, powerful sensors, and the Earth’s own magnetic field to navigate planes in the sky.
Built for the Real Economy
Founded by Jack Hidary, a serial entrepreneur, SandboxAQ is built on decades of work in AI and quantum science. Hidary authored a widely used textbook on quantum computing. His vision for the company is to make AI and quantum technologies the twin engines driving the next 50 years.
Whether it’s enabling researchers to design drugs in months instead of decades, helping pilots navigate without GPS, cybersecurity, or creating next generation materials from the entire, vast chemical space, his company’s goal is building the foundations for a safer, healthier, sustainable and innovative future.

(CNN) — Astronomer, the tech company that found itself launched into the public eye after its CEO Andy Byron was spotted on a Jumbotron video at a Coldplay concert earlier this week embracing an employee, announced that Byron has been placed on leave.
Astronomer’s cofounder and chief product officer Pete DeJoy is now serving as interim CEO, the company said in a statement Friday night.
The New York-based company earlier Friday issued a statement about the matter via LinkedIn.
“Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability,” the statement said in part, adding that the company’s board of directors “has initiated a formal investigation into this matter and we will have additional details to share very shortly.”
The statement also addressed incorrect information circulating on the internet in the day following the video’s release, including a misidentification of a third person seen in the clip, and a parody X account that falsely claimed to have a statement from the CEO.
Byron was spotted on a Jumbotron screen at a Coldplay concert at Gillette Stadium in Massachusetts on Wednesday, embracing Kristin Cabot, the company’s chief people officer, who oversees the organization’s human resources.
Coldplay was performing “The Jumbotron Song” when the camera turned to a man and woman cuddling as they watched the stage. The two quickly separated and attempted to hide their faces, with the man ducking down, when they noticed they were on a giant screen at the venue.
“Whoa, look at these two,” Coldplay frontman Chris Martin quipped. “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
CNN has reached out to a representative for Coldplay for comment.
The video quickly went viral and internet sleuths were the first to identify Byron and Cabot. Social media has been so invested that there are now a slew of memes and comedic videos poking fun at the incident.
