The Oura Ring app is getting a redesign, with cumulative stress metrics and more Cycle Insights
Attention Oura Ring users: A new app experience is coming. On Oct. 20, the fitness tech brand revealed that the Oura app is getting a redesign in the coming weeks. But that's not the only news. Oura is also unveiling cumulative stress metrics and other updates along with the redesign.
The new Oura app
Oura has not provided an exact date for the new app design. The brand has said the new design will rollout globally in the coming weeks, so don't be surprised if you wake up to a new in-app look sometime soon.
The Oura interface is getting a refresh, but it's maintaining the same three tabs: Today, Vitals, and My Health. While it still delivers all the same data and health biometrics, it'll do so in a refreshed package.
The new app design has more integrated design, Oura says. Rather than separate boxes delivering each biometric, it'll have a better flow between categories. The background will show serene natural landscapes, adding to an overall zen-like app experience.
The tab with the biggest overhaul is the My Health tab, which now prevents an overview of your long-term health metrics at the top of the page, before diving into the specifics of your resilience, heart health, and sleep health.
An update to Cycle Insights
One of the most popular features in the Oura app is Cycle Insights, used to track and support reproductive health. The new app design will now support a 12-month view of predicted period and fertile windows. Plus, users used to wait 60 nights before receiving personalized cycle phase data, but now it will be available after one night's sleep.
Oura launches Cumulative Stress
Oura measures daily stressors as will as users long-term resilience to stress, but a new metric is coming. Cumulative Stress will now monitor chronic, long term stress. The metric will be calculated from five factors: Sleep continuity, heart stress-response, sleep micromotions, temperature regulation, and activity impact.
Cumulative Stress can be viewed in a new Stress Management page where users can see it alongside Daytime Stress and Resilience.
Oura is looking for FDA-approval on blood pressure insights
While the new app design and Cumulative Stress are coming soon, Oura is also getting started on blood pressure insights. Oura has received approval from an Institutional Review Board to begin a study on blood pressure insights in Oura Labs, an early step in potentially receiving FDA approval for a future blood pressure feature.
Oura Labs is the brand's hub for testing experimental features before they've officially launched. Users can beta test features and provide Oura with feedback before they officially launch.
The blood pressure study in Oura Labs combines Oura health data with information from a user questionnaire focusing on family history, medication, and lifestyle habits. Participants in Oura Labs will then receive one of three hypertension assessments — no signs, moderate signs, or major signs. According to Oura, "the Blood Pressure Profile Study will be used to refine and validate a future feature for submission to the FDA for clearance."
UPDATE: Oct. 20, 2025, 3:28 p.m. EDT This article has been updated to clarify the status and availability of the blood pressure study in Oura Labs.
