Tl;dr

- The feature is available for Oura 3 and 4 ring users.
Oura revolutionizes health monitoring
The Oura smart ring brand, one of the most recognized on the market, continues to innovate. After the launch of the Oura Ring 4 and the update of the Oura application in October, the brand unveiled a new feature that could transform the way we monitor our health this winter.
Symptom Radar: a symptom radar
Since December 5, 2024, Oura has offered Symptom Radar, a feature tested in beta version and then permanently integrated into the Oura application. This feature, from Oura Labs, allows users to test “experimental” features and provide feedback, with the latter potentially being adapted and integrated into the application over time.
Symptom Radar analyzes your biometric data every morning for early signs of respiratory strain. The feature, which has already optimized user experience by offering more accurate and detailed analytics, should be able to detect early signs of strain, including cold and flu symptoms.
Every morning, the data is synced into the Oura app, then Symptom Radar analyzes it into three levels of “severity”: no signs, minor signs and major signs. Based on user feedback, the feature now offers a historical graph to monitor the evolution of data and potential trends over the days. Oura also provides the biometric data that led to a Symptom Radar result, so members can track which markers have changed, why, and how they deviate from their baseline.
Impressive precision
Oura remains one of the most accurate smart ring brands, with an impressive 99% temperature accuracy by lab standards. Indeed, Oura claims that Symptom Radar can detect if your skin temperature varies by just +0.5 degrees Celsius (+1 degree Fahrenheit).
In conclusion, there is no need to upgrade to the Oura Ring 4 to access the latest feature. It will be rolled out to all members with the Gen 3 Ring and Oura Ring 4 by December 9, 2024.
