How does the Oura Ring monitor physical activity?

The Oura Ring monitors physical activity by using a combination of advanced sensors contained within its sleek, compact design. These sensors include a 3D accelerometer and gyroscope that track movement and deduce activity levels throughout the day. When the wearer engages in physical exercise or even subtle activities, the ring detects the intensity and duration of the movements. Additionally, it differentiates between various types of activities to provide insights into the user's overall daily activity. The data captured is then processed using proprietary algorithms to give feedback on calorie burn, steps taken, and overall readiness for further physical exertion. This comprehensive analysis helps users understand their physical performance and make informed decisions to optimize their health and fitness routines.
