\u014cURA, <\/em>maker of the world\u2019s leading smart ring, today announced Oura Ring 5, the smallest smart ring in the world. Built on more than twelve years of industry-leading innovation, Oura delivers its most advanced health sensing and insights in a more comfortable and compact form than ever before. Crafted from lightweight, non-allergenic titanium, Oura Ring 5 goes beyond tracking. Oura pairs its most innovative hardware yet with new software that moves beyond tracking to action\u2014spanning preventative health, metabolic insights, live activity, and more to deliver the most complete member experience yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cOura Ring 5 is a big step toward our vision of giving every body a voice,\u201d said Tom Hale, chief executive officer at Oura. \u201cBy reimagining Oura Ring 5 to be smaller, easier to wear, and pairing it with our most advanced software yet, we\u2019re making it possible for many more people to wear Oura every day\u2014and to benefit from the personalized, predictive health insights that come with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

For more than a decade, Oura has helped define the smart ring category by demonstrating that the finger is the optimal place to measure health signals. Arteries in the finger provide optical sensors a dramatically cleaner pulse signal window that is up to 100 times stronger than at the wrist, giving Oura a clearer, more reliable foundation for capturing biometric data and delivering more accurate readings than wrist-worn devices.<\/p>\n

A Refined Design with Re-engineered Sensing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oura introduces Oura Ring 5 \u2013 40 percent smaller than Oura Ring 4 \u2013 making it the world\u2019s smallest smart ring. By redesigning the mechanical, electrical, optical, battery, and sensing architectures, Oura achieved the most refined silhouette yet: thinner and lighter, with a smoother curvature engineered to feel completely natural on the finger. That shift in size makes Oura Ring even more desirable to a broader audience, especially for those who have wanted a truly discreet form factor.<\/p>\n

\u201cOura Ring 5 is the most significant leap in smart ring history. To make something 40 percent smaller without sacrificing an ounce of accuracy, we had to rethink every assumption \u2014 the sensors, the battery, the architecture, the geometry of the ring itself,\u201d said Holly Shelton, chief product officer at Oura. \u201cThe result is the most capable wearable we\u2019ve ever made\u2014small enough to fit seamlessly into everyday life, and significant enough to set a new standard.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new signal architecture combines precision-engineered, low-profile sensor domes for better skin contact, more powerful LEDs for clearer, more consistent readings, and twelve stronger signal pathways that deliver greater accuracy across more finger types and skin tones.<\/p>\n

Oura Ring 5 is available in sizes 6 to 13 in timeless finishes, including two new takes: a redesigned Gold in a lighter, modern shade more aligned to true gold and Deep Rose, a rich, copper-rose finish. Designed for customers who wear their rings through every part of daily life, Oura Ring 5 is Oura\u2019s most scratch resistant ring yet. The new, extra-strong physical vapor deposition coating enhances scratch resistance, and Oura Ring 5 is dust and waterproof to 100 meters (IP68), making it suitable for everything from workouts to travel to rest.<\/p>\n

Unlocking New Health Insights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Alongside Oura Ring 5, Oura is unveiling a groundbreaking new portfolio of software experiences for members spanning across activity tracking, proactive health, connected care, metabolic health, and more. Underpinning that portfolio is Oura Advisor and Oura\u2019sproprietary AI model for women\u2019s health<\/a>, together reinforcing Oura\u2019s leadership in clinically grounded, personalized health AI.<\/p>\n

Live Activity Tracking<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oura introduces a new live activity tracking experience that lets members start a workout and follow key metrics in real time from their phone. By starting a workout in the Oura App, Oura makes it easy for members to track their pace and distance during top activities like running, cycling, and strength training. Members can also connect third-party heart rate monitors and supported devices so they can see their heart rate in real time, with lock screen widgets to track pace, distance, and connected heart rate live.<\/p>\n

Oura recently updated Automatic Activity Detection to be more accurate than ever for members \u2014 specifically for low-motion activities like pilates. With the new signal architecture of Oura Ring 5, members experience more accurate activity detection than any previous generation.<\/p>\n

Health Radar<\/strong><\/p>\n

Building on Symptom Radar, which launched in 2024, Oura today introduces Health Radar \u2014 an expansion into proactive health that marks a significant new pillar for the company. Where Symptom Radar helped members recognize when something felt off, Health Radar goes further: continuously monitoring key biometric signals in the background to surface patterns members should pay attention to, before they become problems. Designed in collaboration with more than 40 in-house M.D.s and Ph.D.s, Oura today unveils Health Radar with two foundational capabilities \u2014 blood pressure signals and nighttime breathing \u2014 giving members clearer guidance on when rest, lifestyle adjustments, or evaluation by a healthcare professional may be warranted.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a physician, I know that personal health can feel overwhelming\u2014not only because information can be hard to access, but because it\u2019s often unclear which changes really matter,\u201d said Ricky Bloomfield, MD, chief medical officer at Oura. \u201cThat\u2019s why Health Radar is so important: it proactively brings together patterns people would otherwise have to search for\u2014shifts in blood pressure signals that may indicate cardiovascular strain or more frequent breathing disturbances during sleep\u2014so it\u2019s easier to see when something needs attention.\u201d<\/p>\n

Blood Pressure<\/em><\/strong>
\nAt the heart of Health Radar is Blood Pressure Signals \u2014 Oura\u2019s most significant step yet into cardiovascular health. One of the most important yet hardest-to-detect indicators of long-term health, blood pressure is often invisible until something goes wrong. Oura changes that by continuously detecting shifts and patterns that may indicate cardiovascular strain, alerting members when their biometrics suggest signs of increasing blood pressure, helping them take preventative action, understand what it means, and navigate potential next steps.<\/p>\n

With Blood Pressure Signals, Oura shows members Nighttime Blood Pressure \u2013 tracking blood pressure patterns during sleep, when the body\u2019s cardiovascular story is clearest tells its clearest story.\u00a0 Free from the noise of daily life \u2014 activity, stress, and caffeine \u2014 sleep is when an important pattern can surface:blood pressure should naturally drop overnight, and when it doesn\u2019t consistently, it can be an early warning sign of cardiovascular risk that daytime readings may miss.<\/p>\n

Oura also enables members to log cuff readings directly in the Oura App \u2014 connecting real-world measurements back to their ongoing trend data to inform lifestyle changes or a conversation with their clinician.<\/p>\n

Nighttime Breathing<\/em><\/strong>
\nOura includes Nighttime Breathing in Health Radar to help members understand how sleep and breathing patterns may impact their overall health. With Nighttime Breathing members get a 30-day rolling view of sleep-related breathing patterns and disturbances, building on the nightly breathing regularity card members already see and transforming night-by-night data into a longer-term picture\u2014with clear explanations and guidance to help members understand when breathing changes may be impacting sleep and whether further evaluation by a healthcare professional may be warranted.<\/p>\n

GLP-1 Insights<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oura today expands its met<\/a>abolic health offering<\/a> into one of the fastest-growing areas of modern health: GLP-1 medication self-management. With global adoption projected to surpass 100 million people by 2030, the average person using a GLP-1 medicine still juggles several apps to track dosing, side effects, weight, and biometrics. Oura brings it all into one place.<\/p>\n

With GLP\u20111 Insights, Oura gives members a single, longitudinal view of their medication journey \u2013 combining dosing, user side\u2011effect tracking, and weight tracking with key Oura signals like Sleep, Activity, Readiness, and stress. into a single, longitudinal view Members can log doses and schedules, capture how they\u2019re feeling, and track weight and body changes in one place, creating a clearer, real\u2011world record of their journey. Through Lab Uploads, an expansion of Oura\u2019s Health Panels, members can now also import their lab results directly into the Oura App, placing blood biomarkers alongside their Oura biometric data for a more complete view of metabolic health.<\/p>\n

Women\u2019s Health Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n

Menopause Insights<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Oura is leading the next chapter of menopause care with its new Menopause Insights experience. At its core is the Menopause Impact Scale, a proprietary, research-driven clinical questionnaire built by Oura that establishes a new standard for measuring menopause\u2019s impact on quality of life, replacing the decades-old legacy tool that was developed using a small, clinic-based sample. Designed in collaboration with Oura\u2019s clinical and science teams, it asks structured questions across domains like sleep, mood, cognition, and daily functioning, helping members understand how strongly they feel perimenopause is affecting their daily lives.<\/p>\n

After their symptom assessment, members receive a personalized dashboard that translates their symptoms into an overall impact level, outlining contributing domains and how each symptom does\u2013or does not\u2013impact daily life and routines. They can follow those patterns over time in a refreshed My Health view in the Oura app, seeing how lifestyle changes, stress, and interventions relate to shifts in both symptoms and objective data. Members can also save and share their results with clinicians to support more informed, efficient conversations about treatment options and next steps.<\/p>\n

Hormonal Birth Control <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

For millions of women, hormonal birth control is part of everyday life \u2014 yet support has often been fragmented, generic, and disconnected from daily physiological data. Oura\u2019s new Hormonal Birth Control feature adapts Cycle Insights for members using pills, patches, IUDs, implants, and other hormonal methods, offering insight into how contraception may influence their unique baseline over time. This update to Cycle Insights is a first-of-its-kind view into how biometrics shift across hormone and hormone-free days, so women can finally connect what they are feeling to what\u2019s happening inside their bodies.<\/p>\n

Charging for Life on the Move: Oura Ring 5 Charging Case<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oura Ring 5 Charging Case is a portable charging solution to support the ultra-wearable Oura Ring 5. Designed for travel and everyday use, the compact aluminum case stores one month of battery and supports wireless charging. A dedicated action button makes it easy to see the charging status and quickly pair the device, so members can see both the status of the Charging Case and Oura Ring in the Oura App.<\/p>\n

Oura is also introducing Locate, the next evolution of its device-tracking experience. Available on Oura Ring 4 and next generation, Locate expands support to multiple devices and adds an in app search mode, helping members find a misplaced Oura Ring or Charging Case and allowing them to keep track of their Oura devices in one place.<\/p>\n

Member-First Privacy and Data Control<\/strong><\/p>\n

Oura builds on its longstanding commitment to data protection with a new time-based Data Deletion capability, allowing members of all Oura Ring generations to erase data stored in the Oura App from a specific time window while preserving their account and the rest of their longitudinal history. This level of granular control lets members decide which data is stored over time without sacrificing the continuity and value of long-term trends.<\/p>\n

Oura\u2019s approach to data privacy is rooted in a simple principle: prioritizing meaningful choices for members about managing their personal data, and visibility into our data practices. Enabled by its membership-based model, Oura does not sell data and instead directs investment into strong, privacy-first security protections. Members have clear, configurable controls over how their data is shared with third parties, along with transparent explanations of what is collected and why, and safeguards aligned with leading global data protection standards.<\/p>\n

With Oura Ring 5, Oura is setting a new bar for what a smart ring can be. The launch of this device, which sets a new standard for the category, and enhanced software experience builds on the company\u2019s strong momentum globally. As Oura scales, it is uniquely positioned to bring proactive, personalized health insights to millions more people around the world\u2014and to cement the smart ring as the most compelling form factor in wearable health.<\/p>\n
