Blood Pressure Signals continuously analyzes biometric trends that may correlate with cardiovascular strain. A new Nighttime Blood Pressure capability monitors whether blood pressure drops appropriately during sleep. Oura says this metric may reveal cardiovascular risks that daytime readings may miss. You can also add cuff readings to provide additional context.
Meanwhile, Nighttime Breathing provides a rolling 30-day view of breathing disturbances during sleep to identify changes that could affect sleep quality or signal underlying issues. Earlier this month, Oura announced a partnership with Resmed that offers users with elevated nighttime breathing alerts access to sleep health resources, complete sleep assessments, and the option to connect with independent healthcare providers for potential diagnosis and treatment.
Metabolic health is another growing focus. Oura is introducing GLP-1 medication self-management tools that allow users to log and track dosing schedules, side effects, and weight changes. Oura is also expanding its Health Panels feature with Lab Uploads, so you can import blood test results and compare biomarkers over time. In the US, subscribers can connect eligible providers to import diagnosed conditions, medications, and lab results into a Personal Health Record in the app.

The new launch comes with a stronger emphasis on privacy controls, according to Oura. A new time-based Data Deletion feature lets users—across all Oura generations—erase data from specific periods without wiping their long-term history. Members also have more granular oversight with configurable controls over how their data is used and shared with third parties.
The Ring 5 is available in sizes 6 through 13, and Oura recommends all consumers, including existing members, use the company’s updated sizing kit before ordering, since the smaller design may fit differently than previous generations. Also new is multi-ring support, allowing users to pair and switch between multiple Ring 4 and Ring 5 devices on a single account at no additional charge.
