What you need to know
The new Oura Advisor feature is set to be a permanent addition to the Oura app, having emerged from Oura Labs. This innovative tool will deliver personalized coaching and tailored recommendations grounded in users’ health data trends. The Oura Advisor will also be equipped to function independently when users are inactive by utilizing a feature called “Memories,” which allows the AI to analyze past behaviors and patterns. This capability enhances the smart ring’s ability to comprehend and support individual health objectives.
Beginning today, March 31, Oura will begin the global rollout of this AI-powered feature, named “Oura Advisor.” Designed as a digital assistant, it aims to enhance users’ understanding of their health aspirations. The feature has been extensively tested over the previous year, with opportunities for users to experience it through Oura Labs.
According to Oura, users on both Android and iOS platforms will soon see the Oura Advisor pop up within their apps, enabling them to stay aligned with their health goals by providing “personalized insights, recommendations, and encouragement.”
The company emphasizes that this advisor should be viewed not merely as a feature, but as a personal coach that users can conveniently carry with them.
Upon activation, the Oura Advisor will analyze health statistics and offer tailored recommendations regarding specific activities to enhance overall well-being. It leverages various health metrics to propose individualized lifestyle modifications that aim to improve sleep, promote calmness in stressful scenarios, and optimize both physical and mental health.
Moreover, the Oura Advisor presents these recommendations in a coherent narrative, intertwining different pieces of advice into a straightforward storyline that users can easily follow.
Additionally, the Oura Advisor functions as a conversational chatbot, capable of adopting a dynamic tone depending on the user’s preferences. This adaptability allows the digital coach to provide supportive or goal-oriented guidance while maintaining an empathetic approach.
Remarkably, this AI-powered assistant can autonomously analyze user data even when they are not interacting with their device, thereby enhancing the relevance of its recommendations. During its analysis, the Oura Advisor will tap into user trends and data using the “Memories” feature.
Oura describes these Memories as a way for the assistant to “retain and reference context from past conversations and forge long-term connections regarding user behaviors and patterns.”
Insights from the testing phase indicate that more than 60% of users engaged with the Oura Advisor multiple times a week, with 20% using it daily. Furthermore, 56% of participants noted that the Oura Advisor effectively translated insights into actionable health benefits.
Ultimately, the Oura Advisor is intended to enhance users’ comprehension of their Oura Ring data and trends, empowering them to take charge of their health and well-being.
In related news, Oura is expanding partnerships with retailers to enhance accessibility to its latest Oura Ring model. Recently, the company announced that the smart ring will be available on Costco’s website, with offerings for members in sizes four through 15 and in finishes of gold, silver, and black.
The smarter ring
As the popularity of smart rings surges, the Oura Ring 4 remains prominent, featuring exceptional battery life and extensive health tracking capabilities within a sleek, understated design that suits a variety of personal styles.
