The Oura ring already provides cycle and pregnancy insights along with fertile window predictions. The new update expands on these features by allowing members to log more than 20 combinations of contraception they’re using, such as pills, patches, IUDs and other hormonal methods.
The insights are meant to help users understand how their contraceptive methods may affect things like sleep, recovery and body temperature. Members who menstruate will be able to use this data to determine what a normal cycle looks like for them based on hormone and hormone-free days.
“When more than half of women in their reproductive years are using contraception and more than a billion women are moving through perimenopause and menopause, asking them to rely on trial and error, vague reassurance, or generic symptom trackers simply isn’t good enough,” Holly Shelton, Oura’s chief product officer, said in a statement.
