Oura has revealed a new sleep staging algorithm. The Oura Ring, which will be available, will employ cutting-edge technology to track your quality of sleep by collecting data on your movement, body temperature, heart rate, and HRV. Up to 79% of the output of the algorithm agrees with polysomnography data. A new sleep staging algorithm for Oura's Ring wearable has been released. The technology, according to the manufacturer, is "the new gold standard in wearable sleep tracking." Over the past few years, the algorithm has been refined, with research appearing in the journal Sensors. The system analyzes the four stages of sleep—wake, light, deep, and rapid eye movement—from movement, temperature, heart rate, and HRV data acquired by sensors in the Oura Ring (REM).

When compared to polysomnography, Oura asserts that the technology is 79% accurate. For comparison, the business claims that the typical gadget for tracking sleep has an accuracy of 60 to 65%. The algorithm was developed using a dataset of more than 1,200 sleep events collected from a wide spectrum of research participants from different nations and body kinds. The technique is suited for adults between the ages of 15 and 73, and the dataset also includes data from individuals with sleep disorders. The Oura Ring smart health wearable allows you to log your exercise and keep an eye on your heart health in addition to tracking your sleep. The device can operate for up to seven days on a single charge and recharges completely in 20 to 80 minutes. As of right now, a Black Friday deal that is available through Cyber Monday will save you US$50 on the Oura Ring Gen3 (November 28).
