What is this tool and what can be done with it?

The Oura Ring is a wearable that is worn on a finger as a ring which tracks sleep, activity and readiness. Since 2013 there have been three different versions of the ring, with the latest version (v3) being launched in November 2021. At the same time they changed their business model, requiring a monthly subscription for access to all metrics recorded.

While the sensor set of the rings have changed over the versions, generally they contain an accelerometer, a temperature sensor as well as an optical heart rate sensor. From these sensors the Oura calculates the following metrics:

Differences between models

Metrics provided

  • Heart rate related: Resting Heart Rate, Heart Rate Variability, Respiratory Rate
  • Body Temperature (relative changes, not absolute)
  • Sleep (total sleep, sleep phases throughout the night)
  • Activity (calorie burn, steps, walking distance 'equivalent')
