- The Oura Ring preparation core is receiving a great update
- The algorithm now takes into account the biometric changes of the menstrual cycle
- Will ensure more precise evaluations of daily well -being
Oura, the creators of some of the best smart rings you can buy, has presented today an update of its preparation score algorithm that the company says that it will guarantee more precise metrics for menstrual follow -up.
Together with a new pregnancy study and a new subrereated menstruation study, the company has implemented the improvement of the algorithm to its intelligent rings, including Oura’s ring 4.
As the company points out, previous research conducted with the Oura ring “has revealed how hormonal fluctuations related to the cycle can affect the physiology of women and everyday life.” Now, the company is taking advantage of the data when updating its preparation score to take into account “the biometric changes that each individual experiences during their cycle,” a movement that the company says will ensure “a more precise evaluation of daily well -being.”
OURA RING PREPARATION UPDATE
According to Oura, “35 percent of cycling members will not see any impact on their preparation score during their luteal phase.” As the company points out, “many women experience a greater heart rate and temperature and decrease in the variability of heart rate”, which are all the metrics that take into account a preparation score and otherwise they could be a sign of greater stress and tension.
Oura says that any member who sees an impact should only see a lower preparation score in three percent of the days, a general decrease of 81 percent in the days that members see the impact of the cycle on their score. In general, this should mean that members see better scores in general during the menstrual cycle.
Holly Shelton, director of Oura products, said that Oura was “dedicated to ensuring that our application characteristics precisely reflect the last scientific understanding of the physiological changes that women experience”, and said that the measure would help empower “women to navigate with confidence with the unique information with the most precise and personalized information possible.”
Oura has also announced a study of 10,000 participants in pregnancy in association with the Scripps Research Digital Trials Center.
