Oura’s rings will have a new feature that can predict the wearer’s pain.
Symptom monitor for help. The new feature works with third and fourth generation Oura rings. Wow
Oura has released a new feature called Oirevahti for its newest third and fourth generation rings. As its name suggests, the new feature watches and warns of looming symptoms of illness.
The feature, which was previously an experimental feature in Oura Labs, will now be available to all Oura members who have the mentioned ring model. About the subject news Mobiili.fi.
The symptom monitor monitors body data such as temperature, breathing rate and resting heart rate and can alert the user if changes are detected. The prerequisite is the monitoring of sleep data from at least seven nights during the last two weeks.
The new feature doesn’t tell you whether Corona or the flu has managed to bite, but it can point out that something is now straining the body in a different way than usual. The application notifies you of observed changes and recommends rest and observing your own condition.
Oura’s scientific director Shyamatal Patel told about the subject also to the one who made the news To The Verge, that based on their research and observations, changes in the body begin to appear a day or two before the person himself begins to feel the symptoms. So the warning given by the ring can help prepare for a possible respiratory infection, for example.
The background to the development of Oirevahti is during the corona pandemic, when many developers of wearable smart devices tried to find ways to identify infections.
Patel told The Verge that during the test period, users were happy to receive information even when nothing abnormal has been detected. You can boost your own peace of mind by observing Oirevahti’s historical data from the previous days.
