The smart ring that tracks more than 20 biometrics

IT LOOKS like a minimalist piece of jewellery, but don’t be fooled -the Oura Ring is more than a pretty accessory.

Worn by celebrities like Prince Harry, Jennifer Aniston and Kim Kardashian, this discreet titanium band has become one of the most talked-about wellness gadgets in recent years.

From bling to biofeedback

Wellness tech has often come in the form of chunky watches and fitness trackers, but Oura took a different approach.

The Finnish-designed smart ring slips easily onto your finger and quietly collects health data without blinking screens or buzzing reminders.

Inside the sleek shell sit infrared sensors, temperature monitors and motion detectors, which together track over 20 biometrics around the clock.

That includes your heart rate, breathing, skin temperature, sleep cycles and even subtle changes in stress.

The idea? To give you a daily snapshot of how your body is coping, so you know when to push and when to pause.
