I often will get an increased activity goal on day 1 or 2 of my period, because I am sleeping and resting a ton and therefore getting a good sleep score. But if I’m logging my period, oura should adjust the activity goal for that day! I imagine it’s pretty rare for anyone to exceed their activity goal on day 1. It feels like it’s ignoring a huge part of women’s health and well being by not taking where you’re at in your cycle into account when creating activity goals. I don’t need an app to make me feel bad for doing less and not hitting a goal on my period day :( At minimum, a button like “rest mode” but for period days, which just adjusts goals down a bit, would be great.

Affected by sleep inertia to measure after you wake up

Have a popup the next morning asking you about the behaviors you are tracking and whether you did them the day before. Would be essentially tags, but only the ones you care about in a simplified presentation (not a list) and with the choice to add custom ones to see how they affect your scores.

I would love a way to track my intermittent fasting periods in the Oura app. I am currently using another app for this. I am new to fasting but by using Oura I recognized a very significant drop in daily stress levels (more restorative time, less stressed time) when I fast. It would be really interesting to be able to track the correlation between fasting and stress level consistently.

I want to be able to track my subjective well-being and see how it relates to the things Oura already tracks. For example: 1. Daily Mood: Ask users to rate their mood every day on a scale from 1 to 10, where 1 is “Very unhappy” and 10 is “Very happy”. This simple metric can give a clear picture of the user’s overall emotional state. 2. Energy Level: Similar to mood, ask the user to rate their energy level each day. This can provide insights into fatigue and overall vitality. 3. Stress Level: Users can rate their daily stress level on a scale. 4. Emotion Spectrum: Present users with a range of emotions (happy, sad, angry, relaxed, stressed, etc.) and ask them to select the one that best describes their current state. This could be done multiple times a day for more granularity. 5. Intensity of Emotion: Ask users to rate the intensity of their current emotion on a scale of 1 to 10. This can help capture fluctuations in emotional experiences. 6. Positive and Negative Affect: Users could rate how much they’ve experienced certain positive and negative feelings (e.g., interested, excited, strong, distressed, upset, guilty, etc.) during the day on a scale from 1 (very slightly or not at all) to 5 (extremely). This concept is derived from the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS). 7. Emotional Changes: Ask users if their emotional state has changed significantly throughout the day, and if so, what events corresponded to those changes. 8. Social Interactions: As social interactions can greatly affect our emotions, asking users about the quality of their social interactions (like “Did you have any particularly positive/negative social interactions today?”) could provide valuable data.

In my opinion, one feature that puts the device leagues behind others is the lack of heart rate zone analysis. I’ve found that the ring has so much potential from a workout-measuring perspective, yet lacks a feature that seems so obvious when assessing against comparable health devices.

I'd like something preprogrammed or an alert I can set myself. For example: IF - body temp goes up more than +.02 AND overnight sleep heart rate goes down by more than 3bpm AND HRV - goes down by more than 2 Then I would like to receive a notice that something is wrong and that my system is strained.

Auto detection for activities is triggered super easy. Every little walk from A to B gets recognized as Activity, which I have to decline then

It would be nice to have Personal Discoveries that Oura has made for us in a singular place so that I can see quickly what those personal discoveries are. Currently, they are housed under each day and I have to scroll through months of data to find them. Sometimes, I can't remember if a trend is a REM sleep trend or Deep sleep trend and do a lot of scrolling. I would like them still there, but it would be really nice to have them all listed in one place. Perhaps Trends → Personal Discoveries at the very top? And then like the UI of the personal discoveries it would be the same as it is currently: :tag emoji/graphic: Magnesium (followed by the upward or downward facing arrow) Your REM sleep increases/decreases after you tag Magnesium

With the integration of AI/ChatGPT we could ask questions like “what tags are associated with my best sleep scores?” Currently we have to look through all of the scores by day/week/month and try to remember which tags were used on which days to make any sense of the data
