1 min read
Summary
Health technology company Oura is introducing a range of new features to its Oura Ring 4 device, including improved algorithms for tracking activity and steps.
Using machine learning, the new system will more accurately count steps and will also come with a warning that users may see their step count reduced by as much as 20% compared with the previous algorithm.
The new ring will also more accurately estimate calorie burn during exercise by taking into account heart rate data.
Additional fitness metrics are also being rolled out, while the firm is partnering with CorePower Yoga, The Sculpt Society, Technogym, and Open to optimise user data.
The new features are being introduced gradually to global users.
