Smart ring maker Oura introduced stress tracking to its platform in 2023. Today, the company announced that it’s building on these shorter-term stress features with an upcoming tool that’s meant to give you insight into how your body is handling stress over time. Oura’s also taking the first steps to develop features that’ll warn users when their blood pressure may be creeping up.
In a press release, Oura detailed a busy end to the year. Over the next few weeks, Oura will be rolling out a new Cumulative Stress feature, improvements to its Cycle Insights, and a major update to its app. It’s also kicking off a study to develop a feature it’s calling Blood Pressure Profile, which combine trends measured by Oura Ring wearables with questionnaire responses to give users a rough idea of whether their blood pressure may be cause for concern.
