Oura recently announced that it has over 600 integration partners, that enable its smart ring to offer even more insights.
Oura smart ring has been a runaway success and has fuelled an explosion of interest in the smart ring space.
The company recently announced a new integrations library, so users can connect a host of services to the Oura app. The idea is to expand the ecosystem by letting Oura connect to other apps. They can then share data to create richer experiences.
While Oura is good at tracking sleep and core vitals, it’s limited in other ways. Workouts are an example of where smart rings struggle.
Some apps, particularly ones that track women’s health metrics, are FDA-regulated. So integrating is a good way to bring top grade features to the ring quickly and easily.
There are over 600 integrations supported by Oura. We’re clearly not going to list them all here, so here’s our pick of the ones that can make a difference – and we’ll keep this updated over time.
To try these out just head into the Oura app and go to the hamburger menu (top left) and choose Integrations from the menu. But remember that most of these integrations mean being a subscriber of both services.
