Oura Unveils Advanced Cardiovascular Metrics to Stay Ahead in Smart Rings
In response to intensifying competition from rival smart ring makers, Oura has introduced Cardio Effort and passive VO₂ Max tracking to its platform. These additions aim to help users evaluate both short-term strain and long-term aerobic efficiency. Cardio Effort measures cardiovascular strain by evaluating exercise intensity and length against personalized resting heart rate baselines. Meanwhile, VO₂ Max estimation leverages GPS-monitored workouts to assess oxygen delivery efficiency without requiring lab evaluations.
