What’s new at ŌURA?

The revolutionary smart ring company that reads your finger’s biometrics to help determine heart rate, blood oxygen levels, and body temperature has announced three new features: Daytime Stress, Reflections, and Resilience. These features will allow people to have an even deeper understanding of when and how both stress and recovery show up in their lives as well as how to build better resilience by balancing daily behaviors. They’ll also help avoid the inevitable negative outcomes of stress. Additionally, you can now get an Oura Ring in Brushed Titanium, a beautiful new colorway added to ŌURA’s Horizon line.

Oura Ring owners have been clear about which improvements they are looking for, according to Tom Hale, chief executive officer of ŌURA:

Members asked us for a way to manage daytime stress and support recovery, and we listened. Our members expect innovative features and breakthrough science blended with sleek, subtle design. The beauty and durability of Brushed Titanium appeals to anyone seeking an understated, yet eye-catching aesthetic.

Here’s a breakdown of Oura Ring’s newest features:

• Daytime Stress: Identifies stress triggers by continuously measuring small changes in biometrics like heart rate, HRV, and temperature. By capturing readings every 15 minutes, members can see which experiences add stress to their day and which ones help them recover. 
• Reflections: Available in beta for iOS, Reflections is a new, AI-powered journal function in the Oura App. By enabling members to speak and record a short journal entry and use a single gesture to record mood and mental state, the Oura App takes the effort out of journaling, tracking mood, and tagging. Speech recognition transcribes the text, while AI-powered auto-tagging automatically creates context for a member’s ŌURA data.
• Stress Resilience: Creates an assessment of members’ ability to withstand physiological stress by tracking daytime stress load, daytime recovery, and recovery during sleep. Coupled with Daytime Stress, Stress Resilience enables ŌURA members to balance between stress and recovery by providing insights, education, and recommendations to manage stress and improve overall health. Rolling out this winter.
