What is Oura AI?
Oura is a wearable smart ring that tracks your sleep, recovery, and daily activity using built-in sensors. You wear it on your finger, and it monitors metrics like heart rate, body temperature, and movement patterns throughout the day and night. The ring then uses AI to analyse this data and provide personalised health insights and recommendations. Unlike fitness watches, the ring's small form factor makes it less intrusive for continuous wear, particularly during sleep. The free tier gives you access to basic tracking and insights, making it accessible for anyone curious about their sleep quality and recovery status.
