Oura Ring 5 Shrinks Design and Adds Overnight Blood‑Pressure and Breathing Trend Monitoring

The smaller titanium ring uses stronger sensors and a new Health Radar layer to surface overnight trend signals that point users toward follow-up care rather than offer clinical diagnoses.

Oura Ring 5 Now Tracks Your Blood Pressure Signals While You Sleep

Overview

  • Oura launched the Ring 5 with a much smaller profile that keeps multi‑day battery life and a titanium body, offering the ring from $399 with an optional $99 charging case.
  • The new Health Radar software introduces Blood Pressure Signals for overnight blood‑pressure trends and Nighttime Breathing for a 30‑day view of sleep breathing disturbances, with Oura stressing these are trend indicators not cuff replacements.
  • Oura rebuilt the sensing hardware with more powerful LEDs and 12 stronger signal pathways to improve readings across skin tones and finger types, which the company says enables the new overnight trend features.
  • Most headline software features, including Health Radar and GLP‑1 Insights, are being rolled out to Gen 3 and later rings and Oura plans a global Lab Uploads rollout by June 30 to let users import blood biomarker results.
  • Full functionality requires a paid Oura Membership and the company links Health Radar outputs to partners such as ResMed for breathing follow‑up and Counsel Health for physician access so trend signals can lead to concrete care steps.
