About MuraAbout Mura
What is Mura?
Mura is a longevity wearable that gives you a deeper understanding of your body and clear feedback on how you live. It combines ultrasound sensing in a screen-free upper-arm band with an app for personal insights, guided experiments and long-term progress.
Follow your cardiovascular health and upper-arm muscle and fat changes. Connect those readings with your habits, learn what works for you and put your effort where it matters. Mura is coming soon, and reservations are open.
Who is Mura for?
Mura is for adults who want to take an active role in their health: more energy for the people they love, strength to stay independent and a clearer understanding of their own body.
You don’t need to be an athlete or track every detail of your life. Bring your curiosity, choose what matters to you and build from there. We’ll provide final fit and suitability guidance before you complete your purchase.
How is Mura different from a watch or ring?
Watches and rings can help you follow activity, sleep and heart rate. Mura adds ultrasound measurements of your arteries and the muscle and fat beneath the band. This helps you track changes in arterial health and upper-arm body composition alongside your everyday habits.
You can wear its screen-free band alongside your watch or ring. Mura’s first release uses its own readings and the context you log; it does not import data from other wearables.
What does Mura measure?
Mura connects four areas of your health:
- Blood pressure: follow your readings through the day and night.
- Arterial health: track pulse-wave speed and arterial stiffness over time.
- Fitness, sleep & recovery: explore heart-rate patterns alongside your activity, sleep and routine.
- Muscle & body composition: follow muscle thickness and the fat layer beneath the skin at your upper arm.
The band supplies the readings; the app connects them with the context you log, compares observations and shows trends. Muscle and fat readings describe the upper-arm sensor location. See what those readings tell you.
How does Mura work, and why the upper arm?
Mura sends ultrasound waves beneath the skin and reads the returning echoes. These carry information about movement in the brachial artery and the boundaries between muscle and fat layers. Mura’s software turns those signals into measurements you can follow.
The upper-arm position places the sensor close to these structures. An adjustable band holds it against the inside of your arm for everyday and overnight wear. Explore the technology inside Mura.
Does Mura measure total body fat or muscle mass?
Mura measures muscle thickness and the thickness of fat beneath the skin at your upper arm. Follow these local changes alongside your training and habits for a view of progress beyond body weight.
These readings describe the sensor location. They are not total body-fat percentage, total muscle mass or visceral fat. A stable reading at the arm does not establish muscle preservation throughout the body.
How does Mura track muscle and fat changes?
Mura compares upper-arm tissue readings over weeks and months, so you can follow changes alongside the training and routines you log. See how your measurements develop as you keep showing up for yourself.
Consistent conditions make comparisons useful. Placement, contact pressure, hydration, exercise and muscle contraction affect thickness readings. We’ll provide the measurement routine and the smallest reliably detectable changes before shipping.
How accurate is Mura?
Mura is the world’s most advanced longevity wearable, based on Mura’s internal testing. That claim comes from our own device testing; published ultrasound research provides separate context for the technology.
We’ll publish the measurement results, test conditions and limits of performance before shipping, so you can see exactly what supports the claim.
Can I use Mura to make medical decisions?
Use Mura to understand your personal patterns and bring more informed questions to conversations about your health. Its role is everyday insight and progress tracking.
Mura does not diagnose conditions, provide emergency monitoring or direct medication decisions. Make medical decisions with a qualified healthcare professional.
Insights & progressInsights & progress
What will I see in the Mura app?
A clear picture of your body, connected to your life. The app gives you three ways to use your data:
- Discover: see your readings alongside sleep, meals, movement and stress. Find patterns worth paying attention to.
- Experiment: try one change and compare your body’s response with your usual routine.
- Progress: follow cardiovascular and upper-arm muscle and fat trends over weeks and months.
See the readings behind each insight and when more observations are needed. Know what you’re learning and where to focus next.
How do guided experiments work?
Choose one change: an earlier dinner, a different workout or a consistent bedtime. Mura guides you through it and compares your readings with similar days or nights in your usual routine.
See what changed, how consistently it changed and how much data supports the comparison. Use that feedback to decide which habits earn a place in your life. Experiments show associations in your own data; they do not establish cause and effect.
Guided experiments are included in Mura membership.
How does Mura help me see my progress?
Mura makes longer-term change visible. Follow your cardiovascular patterns and upper-arm muscle and fat readings alongside the habits and training you log.
Look beyond a single day to see whether a pattern lasts, where your readings are changing and what deserves your attention. That feedback gives your consistency a purpose you can see. These are measurement trends, not a prediction of lifespan.
When will I start seeing useful insights?
Your first readings begin after setup and calibration. As you wear Mura through your days and nights, the app builds a picture of your usual patterns.
Experiments compare similar observations. Longer-term views follow changes over weeks and months. The app shows when it has enough data for a useful comparison, so each insight has context you can understand.
Do I need to log everything?
No. Start with the part of your life you want to understand. Mura records cardiovascular readings automatically; you add relevant details about meals, workouts, sleep, caffeine, alcohol or stress.
A few focused check-ins give your readings context. During an experiment, log the habit you’re testing and anything unusual that day. The first release combines Mura’s own readings with your manual logs.
Which phones work with Mura?
The Mura app handles setup, syncing, insights and progress. Our launch compatibility targets are iOS 17 or later and Android 12 or later.
We’ll publish final phone compatibility, syncing requirements and offline recording capacity before shipping.
How does Mura protect my health data?
Mura will never sell your health data or use or share it for advertising. That includes your measurements, lifestyle logs and the health patterns inferred from them.
Optional research or model training requires a separate opt-in, including for de-identified contributions. Declining does not restrict the core experience.
You can view and export existing data without charge after membership ends, and request account and data deletion separately. Our launch requirements include encryption in storage and transfer, limited access and checks on service providers. Read our data and privacy commitments.
Wearing MuraWearing Mura
What is Mura like to wear?
Lightweight, screen-free and worn on your upper arm. The adjustable woven band holds a sensing module against the inside of your arm, with your insights ready in the app.
Keep your attention on your day while Mura records in the background. We’ll provide final sizing, fit and skin-contact guidance before shipping.
Will I need a blood pressure cuff?
Plan to have access to a validated upper-arm blood pressure cuff for setup. A cuff reading gives Mura a reference for calibration; a cuff is not included in the kit.
Mura takes subsequent readings without inflating a cuff each time. We’ll provide the final setup steps, compatible-cuff guidance and recalibration schedule before you complete your purchase.
Can I sleep, exercise, shower or swim with Mura?
Sleep: Mura is designed for overnight wear. Follow your nighttime cardiovascular patterns alongside your daytime readings.
Exercise: Mura is designed for everyday activity and exercise. Vigorous movement affects signal quality, so reliable readings depend on the activity and conditions.
Showering and swimming: water resistance testing is in progress. We’ll publish the production device’s rating and specific wear guidance before shipping.
How often will I need to charge Mura?
Our launch targets are up to five days between charges and a recharge in approximately 80 minutes with the magnetic USB-C cable.
Battery life varies with use. We’ll confirm production performance before shipping, so you know what to expect from your band.
