TL;DR
- Oura has announced three new women-centric features: Cycle Insights 3.0, Cycle Aware Readiness Scores, and Cycle Insights Report.
- These new features will be rolling out in the coming weeks.
We’re eagerly awaiting the release of the Oura Ring 4, but Oura is working hard to make its existing Oura Ring models even more useful. The company has now announced new women-centric features that will likely be well-received by many.
Cycle Insights 3.0
Oura says Ring users will soon receive information about their cycle’s regularity, typical cycle length, and typical period length so they can learn patterns and seek care if/when needed, especially those with irregular cycles and women in perimenopause.
Cycle Aware Readiness Scores
The Readiness Score that Oura presents will soon consider biometric changes that occur throughout the menstrual cycle, including rising heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature and decreasing HRV during the luteal phase.
With this upcoming update to the companion app, members enrolled in Cycle Insights will not see decreases in their Readiness Scores as a result of their normal, cyclical biometric changes, making it a more accurate measurement of wellness.
Cycle Insights Report
The new Cycle Insights Report is designed in partnership with members of Oura’s Medical Advisory Board. This report will include cycle length, period length, temperature variation charts, cycle variability, and more.
Oura says these new features will roll out in the next few weeks. Device support has not been clarified, so we presume the features will come to currently supported models, namely the Oura Ring 3 in the Heritage and Horizon variants.
