Oura Ring 5: Proactive Health & AI Meet Tiny Tech

Oura has unveiled its latest smart ring, the Oura Ring 5, which is 40% smaller and more durable than its predecessor. This new iteration focuses on AI-driven health insights and proactive monitoring.

The Ring 5 is available for preorder starting at $399, with premium finishes costing $499. Oura's $6 monthly subscription remains unchanged. The device is now dustproof and water-resistant up to 100 meters.

Software upgrades include Oura Advisor, an AI assistant providing personalized guidance and access to licensed physicians through a partnership with Counsel Health. The ring also features enhanced fitness tracking with a new live activity mode and improved Automatic Activity Detection.

New Health Radar capabilities aim for preventive health, monitoring Blood Pressure Signals and Nighttime Breathing disturbances. Additionally, Oura is introducing tools for managing GLP-1 medications and integrating with Lab Uploads for metabolic health tracking.

Enhanced privacy controls are also a focus, with a new Data Deletion feature and more granular oversight of data usage and sharing. The company recommends using an updated sizing kit for the new, smaller design.
