- Oura ring can now track metabolic health
- A new meal feature can track nutritional content and provide insight into meals
- A new glucose function uses a paired biosensor to measure your glucose levels
Oura has today announced that two of the best smart rings on the market, Oura Ring 3 and Oura Ring 4, now has support for metabolic health tracking thanks to its new meals and glucose features.
Meals, after months of Oura Labs testing, are now available in the Oura app. By simply taking a photo of what’s on your plate, Oura can help you understand dishes to analyze key nutrition choices and the balance of your meal, labeling components such as protein or carbohydrates such as low, moderate or high.
This information can be transformed into feedback and insight to help you make more informed choices about your diet.
Oura Ring gets integration of glucose monitoring
Oura has also announced new integration of glucose monitoring thanks to a partnership with DEXCOM. Now you can trace your glucose levels directly in the Oura app when using DexCOM Stelo Glucose Biosensor, one of the most popular continuous glucosemonitors. The sensor provides readings every 15 minutes to help you understand how meals, activities and your daily habits affect blood sugar levels.
Oura says its approach “encourages you to focus on the larger image of your blood sugar level over time” rather than individual glucose cock.
The company says the two upgrades will give users a more holistic view of how their dietary choices affect their overall health.
Both features are now rolling out for users of Oura Ring 3 and Oura Ring 4 members in the United States. It follows Apple Watch, which also debuted Dexcom integration last year.
