Key Engineering Highlights
- Replaces the 3 raised interior epoxy sensor domes of Gen 3 with a smooth, all-titanium interior (sensors recessed to 0.3mm) and an 18-path optical matrix that dynamically switches LED/photodiode pathways as the ring rotates on your finger
- Improves blood oxygen (SpO2) signal quality by 120%, reduces daytime heart-rate tracking gaps by 7%, and cuts nighttime heart-rate gaps by 31% while extending single-charge battery life up to 8 days
- Combines Oura Advisor conversational AI coaching with clinical-grade Cardiovascular Age (pulse wave velocity), VO2 Max estimation, Automatic 40+ Workout Heart Rate, and Fertility/Cycle Intelligence
