Oura Unveils Gen 4 Smart Ring

Oura

Oura’s ring is getting even smarter.

What’s new: The wearable maker announced its next-gen Ring 4, promising enhanced accuracy and personalization.

Recently surpassing 2.5M rings sold, Oura is on pace to double revenue this year, reaching $500M.

Dialed in. Equipped with proprietary Smart Sensing tech, Oura’s algorithm and sensors adapt to each user’s finger physiology for precise, continuous data collection — one-upping its Gen3 hardware with…

  • 30% increase in overnight SpO2 measurement accuracy
  • 15% more accurate breathing disturbance index
  • Fewer gaps in daytime (7%) and nighttime (31%) heart rate tracking

Upgrades. Streamlining UX while adding new features, its app now includes daytime stress levels, fertility predictions, and experimental meal timing insights powered by last month’s acquisition of metabolic health platform Veri.

Evolving. As competitors like Samsung, Ultrahuman, and Circular give chase, Oura is evolving from smart ring maker to “personal health companion” after launching an AI-powered wellness coach this summer.

Punchline: Shifting from sleep tracker to 24/7 well-being hub, Oura wants to transform sick care. But, more than upgraded hardware, its ability to deliver actionable insights and meaningful habit change will dictate success.
