Adequate and regular sleep is an important aspect to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Normally, improper sleeping patterns contribute to major diseases like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity and depression. Even though such diseases can be cured through therapy sessions, there used to be no reliable mechanism to bring the control of your health patterns to yourself. That is when Oura Ring, a smart wearable device, gains relevance.
Oura Ring is world’s first-of-a-kind wellness ring. The smart wearable device tracks health aspects like sleep analysis and physiological response. The smart ring provides guidelines for better sleep. Apart from this, it also detects heart rate variability and body temperature. The ring integrates body temperature, resting heart rate and the previous night’s sleep into a “readiness score,” and sends users a daily update.
Oura Ring is equipped with Infrared LED which measures blood volume pulse (BVP). It also records daily walking distance and calorie count in the body. The smart ring, which is manufactured by Oura Health Ltd, is headquartered at Oulu, Finland. The wearable device has over one million subscribers across 70 countries now. Universities, research institutions and sleep clinics use Oura Ring data. The company also has branches in Helsinki and San Francisco.
