How can I interpret the body temperature data from an Oura Ring?

When interpreting body temperature data from an Oura Ring, one should consider the device's ability to capture relative changes in body temperature over time, rather than absolute measurements. Oura tracks the user's nighttime body temperature, giving insights into trends and deviations from their baseline. A consistent increase in temperature readings could signal physiological changes such as illness, fatigue, or menstrual cycle phases in women. Conversely, lower temperature readings could indicate periods of recovery or lower stress levels. It's essential for the user to establish a personal baseline through regular use and then observe variations from that baseline to understand their unique physiological patterns and potential health implications. However, it is always important to consult with healthcare professionals for accurate medical interpretation and advice.
