Briefings

Oura is launching two new cardiovascular health features on its smart rings, specifically Cardio Effort and automatic VO2 Max, available on Gen 3 and later models. These metrics measure cardiovascular system workload rather than exercise intensity or calorie burn, and require an active Oura membership. The features aim to help users understand if they need to adjust their workout intensity based on long-term health trends.

Key points

• These features are available only to users with an active Oura membership.

Context

Limitations
