You're already tracking temps for menstrual cycles, providing basic pregnancy info. Why not step into post-partum? Right now, my sleep analysis constantly says, "It's going to be ok" or "It looks like something interrupted your sleep" - to which all I can think of sarcastically is, "Well, duh, I just had a baby, and the baby wakes up in the middle of the night a few times to eat... of course my sleep is disturbed. Why not have a new software feature that collects info from the user that they've had the baby and are now in post-partum care for the baby. Offer features for tracking whether each sleep disturbance is due to baby wanting to eat, needed a change, both, etc. Offer metrics on improved sleep from the perspective that baby isn't waking up as often to eat, or time spent awake in the middle of the night to feed baby is shortening (perhaps due to baby eating more efficiently). Provide little articles on tricks of the trade (so to speak) on how to get baby to eat more efficiently, or how parents can prepare bottles or other night-time feeding elements ahead of time to make the night-time feeding more efficient, or tricks to get baby to sleep faster, etc. Also consider offering features for the user to log weight and track weight loss - or partner with a weight scale manufacturers to integrate their weight reading into the Oura app (and skip the manual weight entry). Provide little articles on quick exercises that can be done in a short bursts of time in between caring for baby which can help with weight loss. You could even create exercise regimens the user can use to try to accomplish some exercise in a day. For example: "Today, go for a 10 minute walk with baby." or "Today, dance with baby after a diaper change. Dance for 3 songs." Or offer a list of suggested exercise / activities that the user can choose from and then mark that it was accomplished (gamify the exercise).

With chronic health conditions, weather patterns often can affect wellbeing significantly. Having the ability to track the effects of weather on stress, sleep, readiness, etc would be really helpful.

I've been using Oura Ring (2 and now 3) for years and my partner is very interested in getting an Oura ring as well, but her ring size is 17 and no health rings of any brand support her ring size. If the next Oura Ring 5 could be made to support US ring size 17, that would be wonderful so that those out there with larger ring size needs could also buy and use health tracking rings like Oura and be more mindful of their health. My partner really wants to be more aware of their health and try to take better care of themselves, please consider support for larger ring sizes so Oura can be a ring for everyone and anyone.

Would massively benefit from having a dedicated overview / stats section for this feature. Instead of presenting nutritional data solely on a meal by meal basis, it would add value to see combined nutritional breakdowns for a day, week or month to get a sense of which nutritional areas (proteins, fibre, preservatives etc) are you under-consuming / over-consuming over a longer period, any trends (meal timings vs sleep schedule etc). The data in its current format isn't that insightful / meaningful (hard to get a sense if overall diet is balanced / healthy / complete) and once the novelty wears off of getting feedback on an individual meal, there's little to encourage users to continue logging meals.

I travel a lot and it would be really cool if the Oura ring had a travel case, kind of like how you would have a case for your headphones. Especially since the ring is so small and can easily be lost.

I would like to have blood pressure measurement as a function. This is the only missing function and should be easily implemented. There are already algorithms to calculate from HRV.

There are behaviors I'm trying to cultivate that I'd like to tag within Oura, but I also track in a habit tracker. I'd love to be able to track them in one place but be able to see the consistency like I can in the habit tracker (I use Habit but would use any that work with Oura!)

I'd appreciate improvements with tagging. Adding a "from" - "until" data range for the tags would make it easier to tag specific activities. Right now it's a bit annoying to tag 2-3 things that I test (or that happen to me) every single day. Example: Tagging "light therapy", "cold room", "common cold" every day.

For many of us, being able to see where you're heart rate is at while weight training or while doing cardio is very important. I keep my apple watch and put it on just to have the live heart rate tracking. It would be nice if Oura allowed this.

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.
