Oura did something new with health tech, like a cool app and Stress Score. Famous for the Oura Ring they want people to get how healthy and stressed they feel in a strange way. With the new app look oura is trying to get the okay from the FDA for blood pressure stuff that might find early signs of high blood pressure.
The new Oura app is all about making it easy and just for you. It has three tabs to click that are easy and make sense. The Now tab shows daily stuff to help users decide what to do, like chill or move. The Stats tab has quick looks at health stuff like sleep, stress, and heart health. The My Body tab sees long-term health by watching patterns and showing good or bad spots. It also adds Ways and Plans areas that tell how daily stuff affects health. This makes it easy for users to view quick and long-term body and life changes.
One big change in the design is better period tracking. People can view 12 months of period and baby-making guesses instead of just one. This long view helps plan and know patterns over time, giving more say and sense into making babies.
The best part of this change is the fresh Stress Total thing. It shows folks how their forms deal with stress all month. It changes each week and uses info from five things: how well you sleep, heart stress, tiny sleep twitches, heat control and how sports hit you.
Oura shares this isn’t just counting stress it’s knowing how forms react and heal from it. Jason Russell, a VP at Oura, said heart rate shifts, body heat, and even small sleep moves tell how much push the form is under. This lets folks see stress’s body hits, not just feelings.
Oura’s new Blood Check plan shows the push for keeping health safe. The study, okayed by a review group, runs in Oura Labs here later in the year. People get checks that show their risk of high blood pressure from ring data and a quick form. The plan puts results into no marks, some marks, or big marks of high blood pressure and those with big marks should see a doctor. This is big for using tech to find health issues early.
These new things come after Oura got $900 million in new funds, showing folks think it has a good future. They just dropped their Oura Ring 4 stuff, a charger and a thing that helps folks set up blood work through the app.
Oura’s new stuff turns it into more than a step counter, totally. A changed app look, mind stress checks, and seeing how blood flows show Oura is going to be a full health friend, like it will help folks not just note their health but really get what’s up and feel better about it.
