Oura (Generation 3)

In the latest Oura Ring, one of the most significant updates includes the addition of new sensors that provide real-time heart rate data throughout the day. This feature offers the opportunity to observe how various activities, such as running, attending Zoom meetings, or even that extra cup of coffee, impact your heart rate. It also enables more advanced heart rate and recovery analysis concerning your cardiovascular health.

Introducing the Oura Ring 3:

At Oura, our commitment has always been to empower users with the most accurate health data. Today, as we introduce the new Oura Ring Generation 3, we celebrate the culmination of three years of relentless work, half of which took place during a global pandemic. Our international team of world-class engineers and researchers collaborated rigorously across Finland, Singapore, Asia, and the U.S., drawing insights from our own Oura community. Despite working remotely, we overcame challenges to create our most exceptional product to date.

We're excited for you to meet our new Generation 3, marking the next phase of our journey to provide the most precise data and insights to optimize personal health.

Enhancing Health through Better Sleep:

When we launched in 2015, we focused on sleep because it serves as the foundation for our overall health and well-being. Unfortunately, on any given night, half of us sleep less than six hours, leading to immediate negative effects on our daily performance and well-being. Over the long term, chronic sleep deprivation is associated with severe conditions such as heart disease, obesity, dementia, and diabetes. That's why Oura prioritized sleep ahead of any other wearable on the market and chose a ring form factor because the pulse signal from your finger provides the most accurate reading, far superior to wrist-worn devices.

At the onset of the pandemic, we reaffirmed our commitment to safeguarding our users' health. We recognized that our continuous temperature monitoring could aid in detecting infections, and in March 2020, we became the first wearable to be deployed in critical COVID-19 research. Through the U.S. TemPredict study, we donated rings to frontline healthcare workers likely to be affected by the virus. We also invited the Oura community to join the TemPredict study, resulting in over 65,000 Oura Ring users voluntarily sharing their data with the medical community, contributing to a growing body of research on infection detection, symptom profiles, and recovery. We also introduced our Health Risk Management (HRM) platform to help organizations optimize performance and monitor user well-being, and rolled out a Rest Mode feature to focus on recovery.

Oura's dedication to scientific research extends beyond sleep and infection detection. While we're investing in new use cases across sleep, recovery, activity, infection, and mental health, we're particularly excited about potential improvements and applications in women's health.

Transforming Women's Health through Digital Technology:

Approximately 40% of Oura users are women. Given that temperature is one of the clearest indicators of hormonal changes in the body, we see a clear opportunity to leverage Oura's continuous temperature monitoring technology to advance women's health-based research significantly. Most recently, the Oura Ring was used in a study by researchers at the University of California San Diego, as well as in cutting-edge research in the areas of women's and reproductive health. We are committed to translating the findings into practical benefits for our users.

Our community has engaged with us to share the patterns they're observing in their own data, and we've collaborated with them and leading researchers to innovate and create our new Period Prediction feature, which we are delighted to offer in the Oura Ring Generation 3. Oura accurately predicts your upcoming period 30 days in advance and alerts you 6 days before it begins, ensuring you are always prepared. Instead of relying solely on the calendar method, Oura takes a more holistic approach to predict your cycle as your body temperature naturally changes throughout your menstrual cycle. While most tracking methods assume your cycle is the same every month, Oura's Period Prediction feature adjusts its predictions as your cycle evolves.

The advancements in period prediction within the Oura Ring Gen3 are just the beginning of Oura's long-term commitment to women's health, reproductive health, and family planning, and we are excited to continue innovating in this field.

A Health Guide for a Balanced Life:

Our unwavering commitment to scientific research has led us to the launch of the Oura Ring Generation 3 today. In addition to Period Prediction, several other new features bring this mission to life. We are proud to present significant improvements in Oura Ring technology and capabilities, including three times the number of sensors and 32 times the memory within the same lightweight, sleek form factor, all while maintaining the same long-lasting battery life.

The Oura Ring Generation 3 boasts a range of hardware enhancements, such as seven temperature sensors and additional green and red LEDs, alongside our infrared PPG system. These upgrades enable us to introduce more features, including:

Daytime HR:

The new Oura Ring Generation 3 features green LEDs that continuously monitor your heart rate, providing insights into how your body responds to your daily activities and choices. This information helps you adjust your daily routine to manage your well-being.

Live HR:

With Live HR, you can see your real-time heart rate and compare it with your own data.

Restorative Time:

This feature helps Oura recognize when your body and mind are in a state of rest, allowing you to assess whether you're taking enough breaks during the day and ensuring your body gets the necessary recovery it needs.

Improved Temperature Sensing:

In the Oura Ring Gen3, seven research-grade temperature sensors monitor your temperature minute by minute. This allows you to keep an eye out for signs that you may be getting sick, sometimes even before you notice symptoms.

Workout HR:

Record your heart rate during runs, walks, and bike rides and receive post-exercise insights to understand how your body responds to physical activity. This data helps you plan your training sessions and optimize your workout intensity. You will also receive a post-activity dashboard that shows details such as location, distance, and key heart rate statistics, including heart rate recovery.

Blood Oxygen (SpO2) Sensing:

The new Oura Ring Generation 3 measures your blood oxygen levels while you sleep, providing a more accurate assessment of your sleep quality.

Improved Sleep Staging Algorithm:

Oura's advanced sleep staging algorithm was developed using cutting-edge machine learning techniques and one of the largest sleep datasets ever collected, resulting in enhanced sleep accuracy that closely rivals the gold standard of sleep lab testing.
