The third generation ofOura Ring smart ring will bring numerous improvements such as the possibility of taking over the blood oxygenation level, the constant detection of the heartbeat and the ability to more accurately predict when the period. After the great success of the previous models, especially the last one in the Covid-19 period, the wearable gadget of the Finnish brand is preparing to raise the performance bar. Here’s how it will be.

Precious information to detect a possible infection and in fact Oura Ring has also landed in other sports from F1 to baseball, but also on Prince Harry’s finger.

The third generation will be even more advanced and performing thanks to new sensors: from the original three to seven to steal not only all the data on temperatures and movement, but also on the heartbeat throughout the day and on the oxygenation of the blood (which will arrive on board at the end of the year 2021) as already happens on Apple Watch from model 6 onwards, on Samsung Galaxy Watch 4 e sul meno noto Withings ScanWatch. Measure the O₂ levels it is not only useful for Covid-19, but also for other pathologies such as the presence of sleep apnea and in fact the monitoring of sleep and its quality remains a workhorse of the smart ring.
The functions for the female audience will be the other cornerstone. already the previous versions could predict with some precision the advent of the menstrual cycle based on the temperatures. The third generation will be able to leverage the additional sensors for superior prediction. Despite more powerful hardware, the battery will always last a week about (with quick charge of about an hour) and weight of 4 grams.
