Oura Ring Gen3 gets Blood Oxygen Sensing (SpO2) feature this week

The Oura Ring is a tiny, stylish wearable gadget. The Oura Ring Gen3 has been updated with new capabilities that bring blood oxygen readings (SpO2) to those who already own one. According to the manufacturer, the reading comprises two metrics: "Average Blood Oxygen and your Breathing Regularity while you sleep," which might help keep track of your health during sleep.

Typically, the SpO2 score is around 95%-100%, however lower levels may be something that consumers can discuss with their doctors about for further study. Low levels of oxygens might be linked to heart or lung diseases. Consumers should remember that consumer wearable devices are not medical-grade instruments and should not be used as such. All companies urge their customers to keep in mind while reading this article that while significant progress has been made, medical-grade technology isn't yet ready to be incorporated into a small area at affordable prices.

For individuals who just want to keep track of their overall health and wellness trends casually, the Oura Ring Gen3's sleep and heart rate monitoring are intriguing. Improving one's sleep quality may lead to practical actions such as lowering bedroom noise or brightness. It isn't cheap at $299, but it's a good substitute for people who don't want to wear a smartwatch/smart band. It comes in four distinct hues (silver/black/stealth/gold), but I believe that they should add a "Titanium" choice.
