Frequently Asked Questions

A wearable fitness tracker is a small electronic device that you can wear on your body to monitor various aspects of your physical activity, health, and wellness. These devices are designed to help you track your steps, heart rate, sleep patterns, and other health-related metrics.

Most wearable trackers use sensors to collect data on your movements, heart rate, and other physiological parameters. They then process and analyze this data to provide you with insights into your activity levels, sleep quality, and overall health. The information is typically displayed on a companion mobile app or website.

Common metrics that can be tracked with a wearable fitness tracker include:

• Steps taken
• Distance walked or run
• Calories burned
• Heart rate
• Sleep patterns (duration and quality)
• Exercise duration and intensity
• Blood pressure (in some models)
• Oxygen saturation (in some models)
• HRV

The Oura Ring primarily tracks sleep-related metrics, including sleep duration, sleep stages (light, deep, REM), body temperature, and heart rate variability (HRV). It also measures activity levels and overall well-being.

CGM data can provide insights into how different foods, meals, and activities affect your blood glucose levels. It can help identify foods that cause rapid spikes or crashes in blood sugar, enabling you to make healthier dietary choices.
