Detailed Information

The Oura ring is a wearable device that tracks health data, including heart rate, sleep, and activity. It uses sensors to collect biometric data, which is then transmitted to a smartphone app. [1, 2]

What it does [3]

Tracks health data
The Oura ring tracks heart rate, blood oxygen, breathing, body temperature, and sleep [3, 4]
Provides insights
The ring provides insights into sleep quality, activity level, and readiness [4]
Monitors illness
The ring can alert you when you might be getting sick [4]
Measures menstrual cycle
The ring can measure your menstrual cycle and provide insight into hormonal factors that affect sleep [2, 4]
Determines chronotype
The ring can determine your chronotype, which is your body’s natural sleep-wake preferences [4]

How it works [2]

The ring uses infrared LEDs to measure heart rate and heart rate variability [2, 3]
The ring transmits data to a smartphone app via Bluetooth [2]
The app provides daily scores for sleep, activity, and readiness [4]

What to consider [5]

The ring is thicker than a normal ring because of the sensors inside [5]
The app requires a yearly subscription to access most of the data and reports [4]
A free or modestly priced sleep-tracking app may be enough if you just want to track your sleep cycles [4]
