Oura has taken Symptom Radar out of beta. The Oura Labs-developed feature can inform you when you're about to get sick. It exits its experimental phase and is now rolling out to Oura Ring 4 and Gen 3 smart rings.

While Samsung's Galaxy Ring dominates recent headlines, Oura remains the pioneer in the smart ring market. Their current flagship, the Oura Ring 3, is due for an upgrade. Recent certification listings hint that the wait might be over soon.
A leak reveals an upcoming Oura product with the model number OA11. A certification listing includes images of the ring, showcasing a flat design—unlike the curved Galaxy Ring. Notably, the label supposedly confirms this is the Oura Ring 4, available in gold and size 15 (as an example).

Samsung isn't waiting for a potential legal fight—it's going on the offensive. The tech giant has filed a preemptive lawsuit against Oura, a leader in the smart ring market, seeking a court declaration that its upcoming Galaxy Ring doesn't infringe on five of Oura's patents.
Samsung accuses Oura of a concerning pattern: suing competitors over features typical to most smart rings, like sensors, batteries, and metric-based scores. The lawsuit cites instances where Oura targeted rivals like Ultrahuman, Circular, and RingConn—sometimes before their products even launched in the US.

Oura Ring users can now explore the future of health tracking with Oura Labs, a new platform for testing experimental features. The first feature, Symptom Radar, focuses on early detection of physiological stress, not full-blown illness.
Unlike the illness detection features many wearables aimed for during the pandemic, Symptom Radar tracks biometric trends like temperature, respiration, resting heart rate, and heart rate variability. When it detects significant changes, it prompts users to prioritize rest through Rest Mode or a lowered activity goal.
